Are angels real?

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

Of course, since this question is asked in the Daily Mail, the answer is 'NO'.

Starts with :

Now, I'm the most sceptical person on the planet:

Then her proof is this:

I start to wonder whether therapists using angels are just tapping into our anxiety about our jobs and our future, but then she tells me something, completely out of the blue.


She tells me my guardian angel is telling her that my nephew will be OK and will grow up to be some kind of ambassador. She cannot have known he has been suffering from leukaemia and, not long ago, was given a bone marrow transplant.

Someone please tell Liz what cold reading is

I've been accused on this forum of being a Daily Mail reader (not sure why). Oddly, the only time I come into 'contact' with the rag is from people posting stuff about it on this forum. Perhaps everyone should simply stop reading it, if it's so bad ...

I can't help but wonder what this sort of article does for the image of women in general.

This type of article frequently appears in the femail section of the Daily Wail.

I blame Robbie Williams!!

Without wanting to defend the Daily Mail in any way, when you've read the BBC and most of the rest of the allowable internet in your lunch break, it's an easy site to spend 10 minutes reading.

I think they've made not a bad job of their website in terms of news accessibility. It's just a pity most of the articles are the same ones in the newspaper and it's full of pointless celebrity piffle.

And where else can you read such amazing comments written without even the slightest hint of irony? Some of the comments on this story are superb.

I have to admit to being an ex Daily Wail reader and I use their website because it's so much easier to use than, say, the Express. The BBC site is OK but there's never enough detail - it's like news bites.

Alongside stuff about how "real feminists" are getting back into the kitchen and letting men do the hard work, etc, blah.

On some of the sites I work newspapers are left for me,
I did once read.. well I say read mostley pictures I think it was called the Sunday Sport. Didn't read much sport because of the pictures, now tell me the Daily Mail is not so good.

LOL. When I was a Saturday girl in a corner shop I nearly got sacked for telling a customer buying a copy of the Sunday Sport that I'd have more respect for him if he bought a Porn Mag.

I do read the Mail on Sunday. Often angries up the blood, but I find it increasingly banal, predictable, lazy and boring.

I despise Liz Jones with a passion, but my passion has wained to utter boredom with the self obsessed, deluded mare. To find she believes in angels isn't suprising in the least. This is a woman that uses every alternative therapy going on her poor pets. And she believed Nirpal Dhaliwal was worth marrying

BUT it is good for lining the kitty litter tray. Lasts the full week. BUT, the 'Live' mag can be good, love Pierce Morgan's diary (makes me LOL) and the 'Financial Mail' is 'finance for dummies' - like me

[FarSideOfTheMoon]

Sunday Sport - full of national enquirer type crap and pictures of breasts. You won't find many men of a certain age who didn't buy it once or twice, because there had been nothing else like it before.

The Sport as a daily developed into a much more sinister paper if I recall. I remember seeing one once, and to say that their news reporting was just a collection of court reports involving sex abuse, rape or sexual abuse would not be an exaggeration. That and half the paper being devoted to sex lines and other such ruses.

It was horrific.

Is it really fair on your cat to fill the tray with paper that's already full of crap?

They just love to poop on Peter Hitchins

Had words with the cats - they tell me that this would be an insult. They want the posh, perfumed stuff not some dirty newpaper.

(Note: I did point out the presence of said posh litter and the absence of any evidence of kitty use - the response was to point out the cat flap. What's next door's garden for?)

!!!!101!!!

My cats get the finest kitty litter!!! But, with the credit crunch their trays are lined with the Wail on Sunday rather than the 'posh' plastic liners. They also like to be 'green'.

Having consulted my cats, they have no problem sh!tting on Peter Hitchens.

I would happily lay a brick (a la Ali G) on Peter hitchens, given half a chance.
