When I merged the two threads I renamed it. They were always making major typos, it became their nickname.

I think I read it too, it seemed to have good music/arts coverage as I recall.

Ah, a choice of newspapers, I remember the days <stares at the Weekend Australian and The Courier Mail in disgust>.

I mostly read it for the International section. They had some of the best foreign correspondent journos on their books, especially while I was at Uni and studying Yugoslav politics while the wars were going on.

That spelling came about because of Private Eye. They used to rip the piss out of them and their frequent typos every edition.

Why pay for it when you can get it here for free?

http://www.guardian.co.uk/

And you can still get to see all the non-jobs like outreach officers, Union agitators, etc.

I suppose it is not the same using your iPad when doing the morning constitutional.
