At least we don't have to buy newspaper comics. I haven't bought a

this recession I for one won't be shedding many tears. Good riddance.


Not even a Sunday Supplement? That's the forte of newspapers IMHO. A
Sunday afternoon with a roast dinner and a pint in the pub scouring the
papers is good for the soul !


It's the best way of finding out how much trouble you can get into by
calling a small Pakistani friend of yours "a small Paki friend". If he
really wanted to insult him he would have been described as an Indian!
