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?

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
