How Much I Dislike The Daily Mail

[maggiebee]

This was apparently written by a commuter who was offered a free newspaper at the station. Wasn't sure where to put it but Chatterbank is as good a place as any.


I would rather
eat quavers that are six weeks stale
blow dry the hair of Gareth Bale
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail
than read one page of the Daily Mail

If I were bored
in a waiting room in Perivale
on a twelve hour trip on British Rail
or a world circumnavigational sail
I would not read the Daily Mail

I would happily read
the complete works of Peter Mayle
the autobiography of Dan Qualyle
selected scripts from Emmerdale
but I couldn’t ever read the Daily Mail

Far better
to stand outside in a storm of hail
be blown out to sea in a powerful gale
then swallowed by a humpback whale
than have to read the Daily Mail

Even if
I were blind
and it was the only thing
in Braille
I still would not read
the Daily Mail

Mr aog
The latter I suspect. Not the first time.

Twas me who reported it.

[retrocop]

They just can't get the staff these days danny can they ? :-)

[dannyk13]

I just thought that his remarks were insulting to many of us and deserved reporting.

I also buy the mail for the crossword. Had to laugh the other day, bumped into one of my Daughter's friends at the local newsagents. After chatting for a while she said she was there to pick up her neighbours Daily Mail. After a pause she said, "I just need to give it a rub on The Guardian, couldn't possibly give it to her without doing that!" Made me smile

"Love thy neighbour" ? :-)

I buy it too - good crossword, good sports coverage and no leftist Gruaniard propaganda.

Seriously, what is wrong with The Mail???? I think The Sun is much worse!!

[Caran]

I also buy the Mail every day. Love the crossword section. I also buy the Express every day. That way we have a paper each and then swap later.

I think the Daily Mail is denegrated by idle toffee nosed persons who have too much time on their hands. Other hard working people including pensioners don't have all day to wade through loads of pages in the Guardian and other broad sheets when they should be getting on with an honest day's work. :-)

When my husband was alive we had four different Sunday Papers delivered, me for the crosswords , him for the News/Sport etc.

Occasionally bought one on a week day.

[murraymints]

I always buy The Daily Mail
To do the crossies, without fail
It keeps the brain live and bright
Without its fix it just might
Slow and dull, and go to waste
So each day I turn the pages in haste
And get them done so I won't fail
........
That's why I get the Daily Mail !!!

The Guardian is not a broadsheet, it is a tabloid, like all the rest. The only remaining national daily broadsheet is the Telegraph.
