apostrophes can be useful for laying gently over blonde's back.

sorry DBTS, how could you not use an apostrophe there?

oh and sorry for being pedantic, just it comes naturally to me, have to fight the urge to punch the people on the street that hand out a newspaper, a NEWSPAPER called "London Lite" or "Standard Lite" when they surely know that you don't spell light like that. What are the publishers thinking??? How dare they degrade the language like that? Makes me mad. Ok, rant over. Sorry all.

It is better than thelondonpaper (all one word like that...)

It also leaves ink all over your hands...

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:02 pm

no, thelondonpaper is much better actually

don't ask me about the journalism, i don't believe a word of it anyway, and they're both just round-ups of what the morning's nationals said anyway, but thelondonpaper ok they obviously don't have a space bar but they can actually spell the name of their paper

and it has much better puzzles including a cryptic crossword I can almost manage...

sorry...

But why does the better paper (which thelondonpaper) is leave so much ink ovefr my hands?

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:06 pm

coz it's not printed at the printers where they use the special ink that doesn't come off on your hands...

bit of a circular reference but true

Cant't ehy print it at those printers then?

I've never known a paper like it...

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:09 pm

no, there's not enough capacity

i know more printers are transferring to the better ink/process, but there are only a few papers that are printed with the better stuff

I think the Mail was the first but no one's going to read that drivel (I'd apologise to readers here normally but actually no, i've never been known to apologise to a Daily Mail reader and it's a pretty slim chance there are any on the forum - I'll take my chances) anyway...

So why, when I read any of the mainstream papers, I rarely get ink on me - apart from my face?

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:15 pm

why do you get ink on your face when you read a mainstream paper?

I have no idea, maybe because I tend to read the Torygraph, and that's the same size as a small yacht's mainsail!

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:20 pm

simple solution

switch to a smaller paper

particularly if your main criterion for choosing which paper to read is how inky you get (not saying it is, but you ALMOST implied it...!)

Great Plum · Post by **Great Plum** » Wed Oct 11, 2006 7:54 pm

But I like the Torygraph...
