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.


E.J Thribb is unwell.

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?

    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
    • Pity you didn't quote what you are referring to, Mal. I didn't see the previous post, and my mind is boggling 😮
    • The Cherry Tree was absolutely excellent for a while when a youngish couple ran it and brought in a really good chef. It was them who renamed it The Cherry Tree. They were really turning it around. The chef did fantastic Scotch eggs, and one of the best roasts I've ever had. If memory serves the then owner,  for some reason known only to himself, took a dislike to them and what they were doing and sacked them all. And yes we weren't expecting a top class  meal last Christmas, and we left it too late to book anywhere else, but we weren't expecting it for a hundred pounds EACH to be quite as terrible as it was. Stupid us. Not sure why you are confused by my post, Jazzer? Did I misremember? Now it's got even more confusing because my posts have been merged and your confused emoji is shown at the bottom of the second one instead of the first 🤣
    • Hear hear. Very well said. Thank you and all the best for the year ahead
