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?

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
