    ....wouldn't After Hours do just fine in print form? ;)

    Soham killer Huntley to sue over throat slash attack

    If Mohammed had sex with his 9 year old wife does that make him a pedophile?

    Brown sauce and tea?

    Economic collapse - not one person jailed nor politician sacked/resigned

    France to expel Roma illegals - should we follow?

    James Bulger murderer Jon Venables returned to prison

    Anglo's David Drumm seeks damages for "mental distress"

    The only thing missing is a story about cancer and Jordans latest bust up, naturally everyone here will say how they loath the Mail and all it stands for and yet the topics and much of the commentary doesn't lie.

    The Mail can only look on in wonder.

    It'll probably improve, now that the Irish version has appointed a Dingle-born editor.:o

    "Jackie Healy-Rae Pregnant With Twink's Love-child"

    too true. the only thing I'll say though is at least AH is interactive, and everyone can put forth an opinion on a topic, shíte opinion or not. With DM you have to read their shít-y opinions with no comeback, save for writing a letter to the editor (does it even have a 'Letters To The Editor' page) and who'd be bothered there arse doing that.

    AH is getting a bollicking lately, well I really like it (not saying you don't Mike65 btw ;) ), even though I don't post often, I read it most days and love it, although yes there is some DM-esque tripe being pandered.

    I think it's ok to quote the DM and have a go, as long as you don't do anything stupid like pay for a copy.

    DetectivFoxtrot, check out the Fails/Heils/Mails uk website lots of interaction. In fact they encourage it, as like the Guardian they have sussed that clicks win points and points mean prizes (or at least an increase in advertsing revenue).

    "My duty is to save the world: Prince Charles believes he was born for a purpose"


    who knew that gimp had a purpose. Thank you DM, thank you

    You would have the express and their false claims that muslim bus drivers were tossing blind people onto the street with their guide dogs, and the UK daily Star with their muslim only toilets .

    The world would be a better place, no wait some other scummy newspaper would reign supreme in the category of crap fests.

    I think the number of people criticising the Daily Mail in this thread is absolutely brilliant.

    It just underlines the OP's point even more. Textbook Irony.
