There's no 's'.

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.

I do not favour The Sun. I find it dull and poorly written. I have no issue with those who read it.

Nor do I have issues with people who seem quite unfamiliar with the comma and its correct use. I do not seek the company of either group, but it amuses me when one turns its vitriol on the other.

I still have issues with people who think 'haitch' is a letter, but I'm trying to work through that with professional help.

You do realise that no comma is required before 'but'?

Perfect post. Did you hear about that girl in the Allerton Tesco who handled a copy like the piece of **** it is? (Link is safe ie not sun)

That is in Liverpool though so more reason for her to act that way than the standing ones.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying. I don't understand what you mean by the 'standing ones'. (??) I'm from Liverpool myself but would like to think any responsible person knowing its history, would make a stand against indecency and boycott the rag.
 
The sad thing is that the Sun is in fact correct

There is no claim that it is THE Book of Revelation

In the context of this young lady's no doubt erudite prose and literary achievement it is the Book of Revelations, as I suspect she makes more than one revelation, justifying the 's' and as it is her only book, the use of "the" is also correct
 
I learnt fom a Lee Child book that.......

You can talk in a sensible and understandable series of words for one minute without using the letter "a" !

If you count starting at one, the first number using a letter "a" is one hundred and one!

I can talk sense for a lot longer than that without use of the "a" word.
One oh one, one oh two....

Oops, we both forgot about ate!

I have to say, this is the thing I find most baffling about this whole 'incident'. In what sense *is* The Sun (in this instance) 'wrong'? They're obviously not referring to the biblical original; they're simply using an expression from the language to describe a tacky story of theirs. If they were doing one about dog care, they might head it 'To flea or not to flea' - it would be a bit odd to swoop in at this point saying : 'Ah ha - gotcha! It's not 'to flea or not to flea'; it's 'to be or not to be'. I suspect The Sun's response might be not so much shame as: 'Matron - he's out of bed again...'

Why anyone would want to read about said female is beyond me.

Why anyone would ever want to read that rag of a newspaper that spread lies about the dead, owned by a group that happily tapped telephones of missing children, survivors of disasters and politicians while thinking they were ok to corrupt police and politicians.

I wouldnt buy that if the last toilet roll in the world had been sold.

I need to know what she wrote about me and ensure that she has correctly described me as the staggeringly handsome rampant stud that I am?
