I am going to miss demolishing the old eggs and b whilst reading of vicars and strippers and naughty cricketers so am wondering what will fill the void.


So far suggestions have been obvious and related to the sister paper and the recent purchase of domain names so Sun on Sunday and Sunday Sun or just Sunday are out there as are Sunday World and Sunday News but there are defunct sunday names that could be resurrected like:


News on Sunday, Sunday Chronicle,?Sunday Correspondent, Sunday Dispatch, Sunday Graphic, Sunday Illustrated, Sunday Referee, Sunday Sportsman, Sunday Worker.


Any original suggestions? The Sunday Hacker? - too obvious... Sunday Snoop?... too Wodehouse...


Suggestions on a postcard please (or just left on your own voicemail) to Wapping by Sunday next.

And in 6 months, or possibly 3, there will be a pious editorial in the Sunday Ordure to the effect that, as it was no fault of the Grand Old Dame of Bouverie Street that the name of the NOTW was dragged through the mud by a few rotten apples, the Sunday Shyte is proud to announce that, following overwhelming demand from advertising agencies and loyal readers alike, on the following Sunday the paper will be re-titled "News of The World"....

This, I think, is probably true. It may be preceded by a number of 'Special Editions' celebrating the NOTW's long history before a new investor, Murdert Rupoch or somebody, will 'give the paper back to the people'.

In Memoriam of the NOTW.


So farewell then The News Of The World,

The News Of The Screws,

That's what some people called you


That was because you took an interest in what famous people,

Got up to in the sack,

Talking about sack,

Wasn't Rebekah Brookes lucky not to get it,


One red-top had to die,

That another could survive,

Oh the poetic injustice of it all.

I suppose a medieval Cheri would have been lucrezia borgia and ms brooks is another 21st century incarnation with her lasciviousness and tendency to bump off her exes (or just bumping them in this case); is this also something about poisoning the political fabric or something?

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
