That's what keeps me buying the Sat Guardian!

Maybe I like the misery
cos it's in my living room every sunday and i do the same with all supplements bar sports and business: idly flick through the pages, find nothing of sustenance, sigh and throw into the recycling pile.

Shame about the magazines, but if they ever get rid of Mariella I'm walking...

I'm glad they're keeping the Food one, there's not nearly enough smug cunts wittering on about pine nuts and getting your kids to eat tofu instead of food in the broadsheets these days.
/withering sarcasm.
The guardian and observer are in a bit of a financial bind apparently, with falling advertising revenues the £723,019,241 cost of a copy of the observer is no longer enough to keep the wolf from the door

Why do women get their own magazine anyway, when men don't? I'd read Observer Bloke Monthly. It could have reviews of various sheds and deep, intellectual articles about how yeah, it sucks that they have that period pain card they can play whenever they feel like it but there really is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

They spent a shedload on their Berliner presses, new offices, new recording studios, and other fancy interwebz stuff for no good reason and with no effective business plan, aside from giving it all away free.

What the fuck do they need a recording studio for?
So Marina Hyde, a journalist who writes things, can interview Charlie Brooker, a journalist who writes things, rather than, I don't know, conducting your standard written up interview.

And this is the best stuff they have up there by a loooooooong way.

Nothing will ever top the guy who kept emailing his sister-in-law asking her to have sex with him seeking confirmation that her lack of reply was some kind of come-on.

I can't believe anyone is sad about this. All the Observer supplements were utter fucking shite and Music was regularly among the worst offenders. Those mags were actually a big part of why I stopped buying the Observer at all.

i am fond of the food one as i said, i even like the bit where dr john briffa looks through a celebrity's meals in a week and scowls at the amount of gluten and sugar consumed. i'd like to see how dull and will-sapping his shopping basket is.

I hate them all. Except the Sport one, because I've never read it (yawwwwn sport).
she is well posh
I actually was thinking to myself the other day that I sort of hate that I have stopped doing that now, although I "take" the Guardian every day, so the back of the paper is basically just the lower half of the front. Which I guess means I win yet again.

i was going to post that and then changed my mind
he does alright for a fucking idiot, he's shagging that Celia Walden journo now as well

I wasn't a huge fan of the OMM, but I thought the Sport mag was superb. And I'm no sport fan particularly. What made the mag so good was that it featured interesting stories that happened to be about sport, and excellent photography. I haven't read it for a few years as I haven't read the Observer for ages, so no idea if it's as good as it once was, but that's the real loss here I reckon.
Such a shame. Mags and papers closing left, right and centre.

True, but the music magazine of a national newspaper is hardly ever going to be far from that is it? It served its purpose, I reckon. Shame it won't keep on serving it.

Anyone who has ever worked in a newsagents hates all supplements and inserts. Every section has to be inserted in every newspaper by an underpaid shop worker, before opening time on Sunday morning, from separate bundles sent by bastard publishers.
And there is even a procedure for when a supplement is missing. When a customer complains that the Telegraph travel section, or the Observer food section, or what-fucking-ever, is missing, the shop worker has to take out a Victorian illustrated medical book, look up a hideous ailment, and pray to Satan that the customer is struck down with it.

Maybe in London, but not round here.

You may be confused: the magazine is pre-wrapped, not the whole paper. Magazines, newsprint sections, all still have to be inserted by a shop monkey.
