Cheers for that - I'd forgotten about sexy Vic Coren

Though The Guardian are eventually gonna have to scale back their operations in some way; they're burning through cash :oops:

There's something about her. Is it because she can play poker? That she's a smoker? Is it because she's bright? Or is it because she looks like she's dirty?

+1 to all the above, she's just great in every way

Hmm, I can see the case for an iPad App that carries news for a fee, but a website? I am not so sure.

But when you're paying, what was it? £2 a week or £1 a day?? For online content, it takes the piss a bit if they put a load of adverts in their pages.

Yes but the ads will be subsidising the online content too. Though with far fewer readers I would imagine that the ad rates would come down dramatically for the online content.
