    Re: What newspapers do you read (anonymous poll)

    I don't read newspapers at all.

    PS what about the Scotsman or Herald? both better papers than some of the stuff you've listed.

    Re: What newspapers do you read (anonymous poll)

    Personally, none of them. A while back I'd read The Times if it was around, but I'm not prepared to spend the money every day, and I have no intention of supporting Murdoch without an excellent reason to do so.

    And I want his pay-wall to fail.

    Re: What newspapers do you read (anonymous poll)

    I occasionally read the times, mainly when visiting the inlaws. Even with the weekend editions I soon run out interesting articles, although some of the business stuff I wouldn't normally look up but it can be interesting.

    The Onion

    Better reporting for a satirical newspaper than a lot of the serious newspapers though over in the USA

    None in the UK though, get my news by other means

    Could have done with multiple choices tbh.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    It is funny thou, because whilst someone who reads the star or the sun, almost acknowledge they want to be told what to think, someone who reads the daily mail.... doesn't quite.

    But worst of all is the Gaurdian, the paper that constantly moans against companies not paying enough tax, yet does exactly the same itself. The daily mail is a paper for people who are a little bit facist and racist, but know it. The Gaurdian is just so damned hypocritical it really grinds my gears.

    Re: What newspapers do you read (anonymous poll)

    +1 Unable to read the Observer/Grauniad. Has 25 pages of holier than thou, followed by adverts for Breitling and Mulberry, showing Kate Moss mostly naked.
    I still remember one article where a journalist stated that unattractive people weren't to be trusted, because they had a chip on their shoulder about not being admitted to the 'real world'.
    Oh the irony....
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: What newspapers do you read (anonymous poll)

    Independent... when i read one of those in the list.

    Most likely it's the Aberdeen edition of the Press & Journal which is a regional paper up here, just to see hat's happening in the city (not a huge amount) and what the latest "controversial" development plans for the area are.

    What was the conversation g8ian?
