shull Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I have bought the Scottish Sun for decades and still do 7 days a week. Can't do without reading Bill Leckie, Tam Cowan and the great Ally Ross. Still read a few others but not as much. Daily Mail on a Tuesday and Friday for Richard Littlejohn's excellent column. Paisley Daily Express, once or twice a week. Barrhead News very rarely now as it's expensive. Largs and Millport News when I get the opportunity to purchase. Stopped buying the Daily Record and Evening Times many years ago. Get snippets of them and others on Facebook and Twitter, so I dinnae miss much news.

faraway saint Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Not bought any newspaper for about 16-18 years. Red tops are full of made up shite and the others are full of themselves. Total waste of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I always have a Book with me. The Scottish Sun only takes about 10 minutes to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 And I prefer to read the Book than read the Story from a Kindle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Saints Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Other than the occasional Racing Post on a Saturday as a "treat" haven't bought one in years. Find plenty on my train commute every day and the free Metro os fine too. Can't believe anyone would pay money for the Sun or the Record !

shull Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 A free copy of The Saint on Saturday was very welcome. Although, I wouldn't mind paying up to 50 pence a copy every week or month for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalky1 Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 Will read the metro when occasionally on the bus or train, By the Saturday record every now and then . Wouldn't even touch the front page of the Scumville with my bare skin. Hate and despise that newspaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 foe years read tabloids. Then my daughter insisted on the Gaurdian as a teenager. Got me hooked so its my newspaper of choice. St mirren news is now through the web which tends to through up tabloids on line. Also get the Butman weekly for local news. Chilling out for an hour reading a paper daily in your hands is very relaxing. However the political shit in most papers is anything but chilling.

antrin Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 2 hours ago, faraway saint said: Yeah, but I ignore the old troll antrim. Ok. Presumably you mean me, but you're just illiterate. If I'm old you must be young. Is that important? You are always suggesting fatuous bets with people, why not try something novel? Fancy a race, young man? 10k or so? Up a hill like Ben Nevis? or from Glenburn to the Braes car park? I know I am NOT on ignore - your responses are blatantly to things I've posted - and anyway - you know I am fabulously interesting. You can't ignore me. Seriously young man... if age is so important on a forum... a race to prove your youngness? Or is it just ageist bluster to cover up your inadequacies? ps If you've really put "antrim" on ignore then you can read this. Or you can pretend you've NEVER read this and won't be shown up.
