There's no 's'.

[PaulB]

I despise the verminous 'sun' 'newspaper' with every fibre of my being and reserve my most vitriolic scorn for the window-lickers who read it. It therefore gives me enormous pleasure to be able to quote one of my favourite lyrics after seeing what it's attempting for tomorrow. They are using some empty-headed vacuous bint to advertise that her squalid lifestyle is being featured between its sordid sheets with the bold - and erroneous - claim, that it is 'the Book of Revelations'! As all our knowing brethren can now gleefully sing; "don't keep calling it the Book of Revelations. There's no 's', it's the Book of Revelation, as revealed to St. John the Devine. See also Mary Hopkin, she must despair.'

I'm working tirelessly to add my bit to see this embarrassment to society closed down.

Its a newspaper, a pretty crap newspaper, but personally, I cant get THAT worked up about it. I simply choose not to read it. Vitriolic scorn for window lickers ?...bit much isnt it ?
My wife works in a school for disabled and handicapped kids...her view of your language would equal your description of sun readers.

bint

Is one allowed to say bint?

You seem to be working tirelessly towards being regarded as a vitriolic, narrow-minded, embarrassing tool.

I only read The Sun:
1. At the Barbers
2. At the MOT test station

 

[Leedsbusdriver]

They charge a quid to read the online version too.

 

[User6179]

The Sun has always had its knockers!

I read The Mirror at the barbers, scary stuff, makes The Sun look the sensible choice.

If you don't like what they write don't read it.
If you don't like the programe on the tv don't watch it.
If you don't like what people say, don't listen.

What you have said is just as unpleasant and uncalled for as the shoot that is written in the sun. That's why I dont read it. I suggest you do the same.

Very clever really - add an 's' and the publishers of the original can't sue for breach of copyright

 

[Pale Rider]

The Sun is a brilliantly written and packaged tabloid newspaper and should be cherished, not least because like all newspapers its long term future looks bleak.

A measure of the Sun's achievement is the number of its headlines which live long in the memory - Phew, what a scorcher, Freddie Starr ate my hamster, Up yours, Delors - to name but three.

It just doesn't get any better than that.

What you have said is just as unpleasant and uncalled for as the s*** that is written in the sun. That's why I dont read it. I suggest you do the same.

ROFL! There We are Then!

I only read the Sun when in my twenties. That was pre-Murdoch and it wasn't too bad back then

My final verdict on the Sun was formed at the time of its Hillsborough coverage. Since then I have ignored it. Has it improved? Altho maybe you wouldn't know either if you don't read it?

As a rant, I rather liked the OP.

 

[welsh dragon]

This isn't the area for this thread. This should be in cad. This is an area that is lighthearted and rather tongue in cheek. Perhaps if you have it moved there you will get a better response. Then again perhaps not.

I used to read the sun many many years ago., but it became so awful that I stopped buying it.

 

[asterix]

Agreed. I was surprised how seriously the OP was taken here. But no, I have no real wish for a response, let it stay in Cafe.
