There's Something Wrong Here!

When I opened my Daily Mail this morning, there was an envelope inside which I was led to believe should have contained a £10 note, but there wasn't one!
I was quite disappointed, as in the TV advert shown several times last night, everyone who opened their envelope got the money, not once did they show anyone who had an envelope with nothing in it.

I think I'll complain.

Good idea.

 

The Daily Mail is an essential purchase for us as my wife "has" to do the "quick crossword" before she starts her day. She says it's her "Alzheimers test," if she can do it, she's "OK."
Although it could be considered an insensitive thing to say, I should add that her father developed this a few years before his death and though she never mentions it, I think she's concerned that it could be hereditary.
However, later in the day she tackles the more difficult puzzles in the middle pages which are far beyond my capabilities.
I read the sports coverage. I never read features of a page length or more and it's beyond belief that they give Esther Rancid a two page spread on something or other, usual quite trivial, at least once a month.

 

This is true, but you then you won't have the excellent telly magazine..... not that there's a lot worth watching these days.

My only complaint is that they don't indicate on the minor channels, like BBC3 and 4 which programme is a repeat.
But they'd probably say "they're too numerous to mention."

 

Doghouse, are you sure your newsagent hasn't raided his consignment of DMs and extracted the free money, leaving his customers with empty envelopes? :hehe:

 

I just love DM; and have for the past 15 years. We used to pay over 2 Euros for our Saturday treat in Italy...
To be honest, I rarely read it. But I do gain immense satisfaction from the headlines, "Could stuffing an organic leek into your ear prevent you from getting a toenail cancer!?" Well, no, but that's not the point. :hehe:

I also love the court cases where the headlines blast "A SCHOOLTEACHER ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ABUSING A JAR OF FROG SPAWN IN FRONT OF EIGHT YEAR- OLDS!!!". And the inevitable "The case continues" in the bottom. Say something absurd in the court and you'll be making DM headlines.

I also love the puzzles, due to my unbritishness the DM cryptic crossword is the only one I manage.

And the final point to our DM Brotherhood: ever seen the Harry Potter films? What do you think Uncle Vernon reads? :o

 

This is possible, or it could have been the paper boy, but I don't really think so as he's a neighbour, a 70 year-old pensioner.

Come to think of it, I've never claimed that huge prize Readers Digest always told me I might have won, every year...for years!

 

My husband was once picked at random (by Readers Digest) ' ... from thousands', to receive a free road map of Europe. Naturally, he was beside himself with expectation and every day waited with barely concealed excitement for the 'postie'. At last, the great day arrived, (as did the postie), bearing this much anticipated gift. It measured 3" x 6", was set in 6 pt., type and .... 4 of our 5 neighbours got one too!!!
