    I have to say I'm quite tempted, rag and all as it is. Even if it is mostly just to make sure it's gone!

    I got it as there s a very interesting history of the paper included in a pull out. It looks as if that paper was once upon a time a quality and dignified broad sheet with journalism and no tits and then in the late 1960's Murdock took it over and destroyed it.

    If you go to the NOTW website you can get a copy of the paper posted to you for free.

    My father bought it, I looked through it, and I will not miss it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭Phill Ewinn


    Buy it there's bewbs innit. If you're listening Murdoc, moar bewbs and less dopes who claim to be investigative journalists!

    The thing that bugs me the most is the quality of the paper it's printed on. Take all the great pictures you want. Spend millions on top of the range presses then blow all of that effort printing it on cheap bog roll. Amatures!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 400 ✭✭Im Only 71Kg


    No..i'll buy the Sunday times for all the fancy suppliments..just so i can be-little my friends when the come over for coffee.

    It just proves that Murdoch is the "Dutch Gold" drinker of the media world, only he's a lot better off than the rest of the scumbags. Someone should take the Times off him before his influence turns that to sh1t.

    Would you expect anything else from Murdoch and his trashy values.

    Anyway I have never bought the NoW and I certainly won't start today. I generally stay clear of such gutter publications.

    Don't really read those type of papers, they a bit rubbish. Prefer my broadsheet papers like the irish times and the independent, more stuff in it but more truthful and interesting. The thing is I'd have the paper read within an hour regardless. Like a magazine I'd have it read in a short time too. Will only read what interests me though wouldn't read every part of the paper but flick through each page none the less.

    In the name of my kids and family I will genuinely and honestly donate a small amount (equal if not more as to the cost of the paper) to a charity in replacement of giving any money to that rag so that Murdoch can have a final publicity stunt in saying "O' look, we raised X amount and gave it all away"
