or - be brave and dont pick them up in the first place - they are shite anyway / tittle tattle / sleb gossip /advertorials /txts speak quickies / unfunny viral pictutres /


all complete and utter shit.


The fast food version of reading - news for grazers and mobile phone fetishists


take a book or buy a paper - if you pay for a daily, it usually follows that you take ownership for it and dispose of carefully.

both absolutely true - but I don't think all the people who currently use 'em think the same. Does my head in as well


When I go to NY and get the freebies there the quality is fantastic - some of them anyway. But they are weekly. And aen't shoved into every commuters hands (that's the bit I object to most)

Like SeanMacG, I also object to how aggressive the street vendors are in trying to get you to take one of their crappy papers.


I have so little "me" time in a working day (don't we all) and in days gone by I used to look forward to a quiet walk (to/from the office to the bus stop, sandwich shop etc). I genuinely found these snatched moments in the "fresh" air to be therapeutic and calming. These days if you work in central London you can?t walk down the street without someone stopping you for something or other. I really find this invasive ? I just want to have a moment with my thoughts. Too much to ask?

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
