Like it matters.

My only enduring memory of the Daily Sport is getting my photo taken flanked by two topless Daily Sport babes, in a nightclub they were doing some kind of promo in.

Christ, that was 23 years ago. :shock:

TBH I don't care either. There's so much stuff in online adverts these days that the sport is rather tame.

I'm not sure if it was Visage then, it may still have been Electric Avenue, or Ritzy, but you deffo have the right building.

Were you there? 8-)

Everyone laughed at it, but it was just the natural extension of Murdoch's lesser rags, and look at how well they've done :evil:

Not then no (not old enough) but I've been on other nights in the past when they had stuff like that on

Now I'm not absolutely sure but I think it was the Sunday version of this "newspaper" that I once glanced at. Our computer operators used to bring a copy in for their Sunday shift and leave it out.

The headline that always stuck in my mind from way back then. must be 15 or 20 years ago, was........

"Baby born wearing dead father's wedding ring!"

Classic journalism !

Hardly a real newspaper anyway.

And that's why it's rather sad. It was actually a fine work of comedic fiction at it's peak.
