I don't normally read newspapers. I should be I can't be arsed. Today though I was stuck with nothing to read over lunch and 60p in my pocket so I bought a Guardian. And it was packed with good stuff. And I didn't bother reading the main paper and I've still got the sport to read.
There was this fantastic article which basically explains the meaning of life.
There was this John Sutherland thing about the bizarre American child-care practise of hot-saucing.
And this great Roy Of The Rovers piece.
And this great thing by Andrew Marr about how to read/decode a newspaper article.
And this blogging thing.
(some registration required for some of this)
All for 60p. That is bloody impressive. Something to be grateful to advertising for.
Stick with it. The Guardian, I mean. I love it. It's like getting a novel every day - or a book of short stories. And for 60p or whatever the price is this week. I've been reading it for over 25 years and I have to say that I get terrible withdrawal symptoms if I don't get a copy, or if I don't get to read most of it. Sometimes I find myself at 1.30am falling asleep over G2.
