Re: Countdown in the news
I'm split between wanting to know what happened to make Rachel want a divorce, and not wanting to stoop to the level of following celebrity gossip.

Don't see where it says divorce other than the anagram deliberately designed to allure. A split is not necessarily a divorce.

Re: Countdown in the news
I'm sure Rachel and Jamie could do without the gutter press giving their tuppence worth at this difficult time. As far as I can tell, the word 'divorce' is a figment of The Sun editorial team's collective imagination.

They've split before and manage to get back together, maybe they will sort it out, hopefully?

Hi Graham Virtue! You have a great name. Please let's not have RayRi ever catch on, though.

A SCOOP for the Daily Mail today (January 23rd) on page 32 they report that the prodigy Dylan attained the highest ever score.

I bet Dylan is absolutely thrilled knowing that everyone who reads that article now knows that he's autistic, I know if my mental disorders were made public in that sort of way I'd be pretty fucked off as a lot of other apterites that are in the same boat

Presumably either him or his dad must have told them about it, so they can't have been too bothered.

I'm probably going to get chastised for saying this, but if you compare the Mail now to two years ago then it's come on a long way. It's no longer gay-bashing, Muslim-smearing, and woman-hating...

Gays and Muslims (or any other religion, for that matter) are polar opposites, so I'm not sure how they can be consistent on that.

I quite like the Daily Mail,
The cryptic crossword is both challenging and acheivable and it's probably the highest quality newspaper I can hold without ruining the pages when I try and turn a page over.

The Daily Mail and dailymail.co.uk are two different worlds. One reacts with horror at every degraded X Factor performance and launches into campaigns to "ban this filth". The other provides soft porn you can read on your computer during work lunch breaks.
Would the print version ever publish this?
