I avoid them every week. And every weekday. Fail to see any point rereading what I've already heard on the radio and TV and online.

What was that line about reading the Express? "like spending 20 minutes in a mental asylum"...
Could apply to a number of tabloids, I guess.

The Express is fine if you still want to read about princess Diana. The mail has to be the worst for nonsense reporting.

Did they ever find out if her unborn, immigrant cancer baby caused 9/11 or not?

Looking through the comments from the press and TV people one thing's well established. Whether you loved him or loathed him you could neither ignore him or forget him.

Yea, nonsense without any humour value.

The Sun at least produces memorable head lines

Some I remember:

Oprah winfrey's weight gain - "Fat Tum of the Oprah"

Chris Tarrant's adultery scandal - "Chris's wife goes 50/50 after he phones a friend"

The queen honours Paul McCartney - "Hard day's knight"

and the classic, where some scoundrel who owned an antique shop was up on an under age sex charge - "Antiques dealer thought girl was older"

I'm told we're to hold one minute's shouting in his honour.

Looks like the funeral passed off peacefully. He was buried in Co Down (Ballygowan) which surprises me as he was from Co Armagh but spent most of his adult life in Co Antrim.

Maybe the Baroness has family connections there? After all he told us she was the real boss in his TV interview
