I've given them up to allow myself a more righteous position in society.
As a side effect, I feel distinctly proud and unique and un-tainted by celebrity.

that was my new years resolution.
I have cracked and I do get the odd on or two a month...they're like a dirty porno mag for the commute home.

You mean you finally had enough of the Daily Mail's two-day old castoff's and page after page of celebrity drivel being forced into your face by aggressive legions of reflective vests?
What took you so long?

count yourselves lucky, up here they dish out the daily record free to commuters. I'll have your sophisticated mediacrats any day

Is it true that the entirety of Dubai's reclaimed land was made from one years worth of waste Metro's and London Lite's etc?

Walking to work (tm) keeps your brain clear in the moments when is most fragile.
Btw i love the strips on the London Paper, but there's no way i can get them online :-/

I bike to work and it's the best thing I ever decided to do.
I fucking hate those papers, with a passion. When someone comes in to work and says about a certain current issue: "oh well, apparently _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _" it annoys the life out of me. So you read that in a free paper you found on a tube? Lucky you.
Fuck that. Bikes or books.

everyone knows these things aren't really for reading news anyway, they're for hiding behind on public transport, the content is just an excuse. They should just give everyone a big A2 sheet of (recycled) paper instead

- they don't actually provide a barrier though eh?kelpie

what I hate most about those papers is the arseholes who shuv them in your face as you're walking down the road to give them to you. Infuriates the life out of me.

boo hoo

If you're talking 'in your face arseholes' then those failed and unemployed actors who pose as charity collectors take the biscuit.

professional botherers? I fucking hate them. They get an ace hourly rate and overtime for the work too (or at least a few I knew did)
- scribbler0
Exactly! If they cared that much about the charity they'd do it for free. And they have the cheek to stand there and try and make me feel guilty for not signing up!

'We will rock you' is a great musical though isn't it?
