Cadbury Scream Egg: A warning for Yvonne...
Thought I'd better do my bit for health and safety after spotting this story in the Sun today.
Yvonne - just be on the look out for any 'crunchy' creme eggs in future, hun. You don't know what you may be munching on

Someone at work told me about this (as she gave me a Creme Egg Easter Egg) and Sydney called me to warn me not to look 
Can't say as it'll stop me though - BRING ON EASTER!!!

Actually, I've had chocolate coated ants before and they're quite yummy.

Close but no cigar, I'll still be buying 'em if they'll sell 'em!

Firslty can I say that it's a story in the sun for christs sake
Secondly everyone knows small insects add protien and don't really taste of anything at all, I know, I used to go camping quite a bit.

All newspapers are just a waste of paper and filled with gossip and adverts anyway.
I Don't understand why people still buy them.
I get a email everyday with all the relevant headlines. And Sky News (active) gives the rest. Paper is so passé
Posted: 14:33 Apr 16 2003 That would depend on your definition of news, I think.

And ewwwww at cremed ants! The worse I ever come across personally was string inside of garabaldi biscuits when I was a young lass
Posted: 15:06 Apr 16 2003 Hmmm, front page of Murdoch's rag today... 'Bruno's £5m divorce bill' and a story about key political figure Liz Hurley.

Front page of The Guardian - The future of Iraq, Brown and Blair's Euro deal and the capture of a palestinian terrorist in Baghdad.
The Sun is a comic, written for children and for those with an equivalent mental acuity and grasp of current affairs.
As for your email, who decides what is relevant (not you)? All you have done is switch one push medium for another with email substituting for print but without in anyway enhancing your access to information. Someone else continues to set the agenda.

Sky News runs adverts and gossip, and someone somewhere must be financing the email you receive unless it is a subscription service?

Email service is by the BBC. I select what categories I want. (Top Stories,UK,Sport,entertainment). So the licence fee covers that.
Sky New Active. Doesn't show advert. Different mini screens for the different news. Iraq, Other News, Top Story, & entertainment/gossip.
All the tabloids are comics. And the Guardian can't spell.

Not a full time reader of the Sun anymore, but I have to admit that when I used to get home after work I'd rather browse page by page through the Sun than try reading a broadsheet paper. OK so the pictures take up a lot of space

Just for the record, at no point above did I comment on anyone choosing to read said publication so please don't get anything out of joint.
I simply commented on the way The Sun was written. Nowhere is it demanded that you must take more than a passing interest in what is happening in the world at large and if The Sun's thoughts on Frank Bruno's divorce is the level of insight that you want in current affairs then that is entirely your concern. **
** - However, you may want to think about leaving things like voting to the rest of us.

Within those categories, the BBC still chooses what is considered important enough to tell you about (and indeed chooses how to differentiate by category [Is Claire Short having an affair politics or gossip?] You have presumably chosen the BBC as a more impartial source than any of the newspapers and it may well be, although that does not mean it lacks a news agenda of its own (it tends to be fairly lax when reporting the frequent condemnation of the manner in which it spends license payer money for example).

I don't watch Sky News so you have the knowledge but I did read recently that they only dropped advertising when the Iraq conflict began?
