The Daily Mail

I changed to the "of" from an "a". I would have thought that the contraction of "who would", would have indicated that I was using slang. Apparently not.

Glad to have filled your evening with some pedantry though. My time was not wasted.

Happy days. 😂

Have guessed Volver. Not of guessed.

Who'd've (?) guessed ?
Anything but "of" !

Having fun?

Oh please - not of when have is needed ( as I frequently tell my grandchildren)

It’s beginning to sound as though the I and the Times are the best of a rather poor lot. I know my tribe reads the Guardian, or perhaps I should say, that like me, the tribe used to read the Guardian but is currently unimpressed

Well, thank you Primrose and Smileless for your kind comments.
I see varian is saying we are not 'sensible' as we are not in the middle. And volver obviously thinks she has the monopoly on good taste.
Why should a group of people I don't know and will never meet, dictate what I should or should not read. They probably don't approve of what I watch or listen to either.
I DON'T CARE.
I am not going to comment further. Anyway, I haven't finished reading today's Mail yet.

Good for you girl!😄

OK the DM is not my favourite paper, but it's easy reading !
There are some interesting articles .

When so much is happening in the World their obsession with Celebrity baby bumps and Amanda Holden 's wardrobe and Carol Vordeman gets a bit tedious !

I browse the net for news and read BBC and Al Jazeera .

If I buy a newspaper I'll buy The Telegraph because I like the gardening section .

I might buy The Times and Guardian as well .

I looked at that newspaper online and got the Australian version that looks more like a mag designed for young women. Not much actual news except about Alice Springs. They didn’t like my adlocker so I left. Have to admit the journalistic style wasn’t my cup of tea. Thanks Volver for the heads up it was online.

Yet more misquoting. I have never said that everyone who is not in the middle ground is not sensible.

What worries me is that some people who read the DM seem to think that it is a balanced newspaper, and believe all that it prints!

What worries me are the nosey parkers who think they have a god given right to tell others what newspapers not to read.

Garnet, totally agree.

Oreo, who has told you what to read or not? No-one- and please leave god out of this- out of respect for those who have faith.

My question for today is 'who are you' - so so familiar. Changed name yet again?

Oooh, who, fleurpepper?

Fleurpepper feels like you’re stalking me on the threads.
As for changed names, nope am Oreo and always have been since I joined last October.
Have you changed names? Why so personal all the time? Because you disagree, a a bit childish.
Saying a god given right is a British expression btw.

No-one- and please leave god out of this- out of respect for those who have faith

I think, to be fair, it is an expression which is in general use and I don't think most Christians would be overly concerned at its use in conversation.
god in lower case is a general expression and could apply to many deities including Roman, Greek, Pagan etc.

I cannot speak for those of other faiths of course

does god appear through the clouds in order to pass down some stone tablet of commands about our activities ..... my take is the expression = human rights .... nothing godly........ Oreo has every right to read the DM and to change their name if they want to

I haven’t done either thing Roseinbloom but looks like am being stitched up anyway😂
Your quite right tho, it’s a personal choice what any of us does.
