The Telegraph headline today: "Abu Dhabi will not ride to Dubai's rescue"
And in the Times: "Abu Dhabi rides in to rescue Dubai"
I can't wait until I have to pay to read newspapers on-line _________________ Minx

My son is on Facebook saying that he saw a headline Tiger Injured in Car Crash and wants to know how its claws managed to reach the pedals.

We had the sticker " I've got a Tiger in my tank" and there was a furry tiger tail which you could tie round the petrol cap too! _________________ Johnnie Walker read out my message on Pirate Radio! 13/8/07

Apparently the group which owns the Northumberland Gazette is possibly going to start charging for its website version. Rupert Murdoch is said to be looking on with interest!

Hi Ian
Caught a little bit of that on the news last night but was on the phone at the same time so don't know all the ins and outs. I heard something about advertising?

PS completely off topic, but can you remind me of the radio station that you were involved with earlier in the year? _________________ 88 - 91 FM this is Radio 2 from the BBC!

Rupert Murdoch wants to charge for online access to The Times and The Sun/News Of The World. He'll be watching how this goes with interest. _________________ Ron |

One of the local papers in our area has just announced that they will now charge, I know someone who won't be paying and that's me! _________________ Pirate Johnnie Walker played my request on 11 April 2009 |
