    I always do my business in the little boys room. Apart from a few times when I've done it the sea.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      I would use the Torygraph but I find the website hogs the browser no mater which one you use.
      Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

          It's fine here, but I usually have Javascript turned off. I think it has gone downhill since the Barclay Brothers took it over, so don't use it as much as I used to.

          To answer the OP's question, I have a gander at the Guardian, Telegraph and Independent.

            You can wipe your arse with any of them, as long as you turn off javascript.

            Google News usually.

              WHS, and somehow it regulary puts Firefox into a bizarre state where it is frozen and can be "driven" only by moving the mouse - As soon as the mouse stops moving, so does the browser, even if in the middle of something.

              I think this is something to do with the site's extremely irritating habit of auto-refreshing every couple of minutes. The problem seems to start if one happens to be saving a page in the middle of an auto-refresh.

                Who needs newspapers? I get all the news I need on CUK.

                  I already had a subscription to the etimes, so renewing wasn't a big deal. Instead of paying £50 for 100 editions each year, I pay £100 for 365 editions. What's annoying is that I used to be able to read it offline (so I could download it, then read it on the plane, for example). Now I can't.
