And the News of the World returns....

Not a surprise really but there was a fair bit of media hype that good ol' Rupe was actually going to shut the Sun. Here. #Don'tbuytheSun

old news. The domains thesunonsunday.co.uk and sunsonsunday.co.uk were registered to the Sun back in Jul-2011

There are only two good things about The Sun and they are both on page three.

Well it's kind of new news really as it's only just been announced. I'm sure News International has many domains registered to it that they never intend to use.

The domains were registered the day before it was announced the the NOTW would close (The Telegraph)

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

And page seven i believe.

You are right, there will always be some bollocks on page 3.

Hagar the Horrible and the suduko puzzle?

I sat in the works canteen once with someone doing a Sun Coffee Time Crossword. He looked puzzled (pun intended)! Eventually, he looked up ...

Puzzler: Hey Col, you're good at English and stuff, aren't you?
ColinJ: One tries!
Puzzler: Eh?
ColinJ: Yes!
Puzzler: Oh, er, right - can you solve this clue for me?
ColinJ: Shoot!
Puzzler: Eh?
ColinJ: Yes!
Puzzler: Domestic animal
ColinJ: How many letters?
Puzzler: 3
ColinJ: Dog
Puzzler: No, it begins with a 'C'
ColinJ: Cat
Puzzler: Are you sure?
ColinJ: 99%, yes!
Puzzler: Thanks. [Mutters under breath - Show off!]

Won't make the slightest difference round these parts: all my local newsagents have been Sun-free for almost 23 years now.

Was it cat then?

 

[Fab Foodie]

Was it cat then?

 

[ColinJ]

Was it cat then?

Don't laugh, it could've been cow.

I know this isn't the 'pedants' thread, but I would say that cows are generally considered domesticated rather than domestic animals***!


*** Having said that, my mum grew up in a crofting community on the West coast of Scotland and they kept farm animals in the cottage at the time!

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I'm onto you Adrian!

 

[ColinJ]

You are correct, this is not a pendant's thread.

And if I wanted to be pedantic about it - it isn't about the Sun Coffee Time crossword either - who brought that subject up!

PS

You are correct, this is not a pendant's thread.

Damn - I missed it!

**** me, cyber bullying.

Problem with that, mofo?
