    What are you on about?

    I guess I am on about everything, (as you put it ) when there was nothing it grew to everything, it is just a case of how it got there (what was the influences to get it there),

    What we (I) believe and how long it takes to allow us to take it as being true, like todays goverment, they tell us how we should live and what we should put back into society to make it work, (while they live on the nearest planet so as not to feel the fallout),

    that is all.

    You haven't made it till you get a top rated comment on the daily mail.

    I find it to be a very homophobic and Islamophobic newspaper and yet I cant stop bringing myself to read the daily mail.

    I'm always finding myself clicking on that site curious what they are moaning about and the comments never fail to shock me.

    Do anyone find the DM quite a addictive reading or is it just me?


    Do I need help:(

    one of the best newspapers apps on android.

    It's trashy, infuriating, ridiculous, provocative and poorly edited but I'm totally addicted. Can't go a day without it.
    I love reading the comments from all the people who get caught up in the propaganda and celebrity "news".

    In fairness, even though its mostly rubbish, there's a very high turnover of rubbish so never a dull moment.

    A guilty pleasure!

    It's just you and you're beyond help, unless of course you're another Daily Mail shill, in which case you're doing a great job. :) The other alleged shills seem to have disappeared. Did you get their jobs? In print or online the Mail (Daily. "Oirish", or Sunday versions) is a foul obscenity, which is probably why they need to keep the name "up there" on boards.ie

    I read the tabloids for the laugh.
    Two sheep drowned locally when a boat capsized, no one else harmed except two sheep.
    tabloid reports "Flock of sheep drowns".
    Its great to read them and just pay attention to how they word things, I would say the writers where stupid but they're actually genius at blowing things out of proportion and misleading people.

    Its scary though when you see how many peoples opinions are influenced by whats printed in the red tops and the daily mail.
    One great example, some council spends money on something. "£1,000,000 of taxpayers money spent on blah blah blah" even if its a perfectly reasonable expense they'll swing it so it sounds like everyone's getting fleeced!.

    The crosswords are too challanging and the horoscopes are vague to say the least so no.

    Some fun to be had with online comments, not just from the Fail though.

    Much as I hate to say it, Paul Dacre is a genius at what he does.

    I like reading about the Big Freeze everytime the weather goes below 10c in this country, and the impending doom that will occur. Then I get stuck looking at the articles about girls in bikinis, read about what gives you or cures cancer, and before you know it it's time to leave work.
    I can't stand their smug Jeremy Kyle attitude towards real issues though.

    l dont even read the stories, only if it was something that really interest me, l look at the pics then read the top comments for the story :L

    l find it really annoying tho when people leave comments on a story like , "DM same rubbish again different day" just giving out about the paper but they still read it!! l see those comments in most articles.. really annoys me

    Daily Mail is aimed at women so of course After Hours doesn't like it, not so many here

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Strange that. The last time I read a Waily Dale I found the crosswords vague and that the horrorscapes were changelings, but then I'm old and odd. Where am I?
