I recall reading some years ago that their primary source of income is a fund that was set up to ensure that there was always a left-wing broadsheet in circulation.

They must be caning it

I like the Guardian. I find a lot of the reviews and contributors really smart and funny (Charlie Brooker and Jay Rayner for example) and regularly buy the Sunday version. The articles have the advantage of being slightly less biased than the Indy.

*takes her middle class problems out*

Taking him anywhere nice?

Who? What?

I think saspro is inferring that ed may be your "middle class problem"

Answers on a postcard please, to the usual address

Keep up with the news, mate

Oh FFS... have I put my foot in it again?

That reminds me of a joke

Three honeymooning couples find themselves in adjacent rooms in a hotel. As they are getting undressed, the first man says to his wife, "What huge buttocks!" Much offended, she threw him into the corridor. The second man, also undressing, says to his wife, "Christ! What huge breasts!" She is also greatly offended and throws him out into the corridor. Several minutes later, the third newlywed husband arrives in the corridor as well. The other two ask, "What happened? Did you put your foot in it?" "No, but I could have!" the third man replied.

Hey, it's no problem

OK, all I can do is offer my sincerest apologies to any and all affected by my remarks, and draw a line...

Sorry.

Having to log into the forums every few minutes,

Italo Calvino and his book "If on a winter's night a traveller" which I have just finished reading. I have never read a book like it, I feel vaguely resentful while at the same time conceding that it forced me to the very end of it, no matter how many times I lost interest or lost focus or lost my sanity in the middle.

That there's a lot of 500 errors on here today.
