|

Anyone buy the above today.
I did-not a bad free CD giveaway-one for my iPod me thinks.
By the way the paper itself is terrible-very poor reporting/jounalism imho.
Wonder who will be next for the free CD giveway treatment. |

A mail reader
A lot of papers give away free CD's these days. Another con to buy a paper from the ailing industry.

I am a Times reader during the week and the Sun on a Sturday (i like their sports coverage) and the Sunday Times normally on a Sunday.
I bought the Mail today and a few weeks ago because of the simple reason thay had a free CD giveaway. |

Save yourself time and frustration, Mark - buy the paper for the CD if you must, but chuck the paper in the nearest recycling bin straight after leaving the shop.... _________________ Author: “To the Ends of the Earth: A Snapshot of Aviation in North-Eastern Siberia, Summer 1992”

Very good advice Cherskiy-I won't be reading the Mail on a Sunday for a long time-a truly terrible rag. |

Say 'bye' for me again Mark
Bananarama were rubbish anyway, bring on the Boswell Sisters I say Proper harmony and swingy vocals. |

Hi John-The Boswell Sisters-I'm afraid I have never heard of them-were they good.
Bananarama aren't that bad-nothing offensive about their songs-I find them quite cheery in actual fact. |

Darn it - I actually bought Bananarama's Greatest twenty years ago. If I'd known it was going to be free this week I wouldn't have bothered
It did, however, work a treat at the time (together with Alison Moyet's Raindancing) in helping to rock the baby to sleep. _________________ Ron |

Bananarama's Greatest hits? Hmm How many did they have? Would it fill an EP?
According to the add, they were touted as the original girl group - I thought it as the Andrews sisters _________________ Geddon
