What will you do with your free copy of The Sun this Thursday?

[Dogsauce]

Only one cat turd on mine so far, I was hoping for a good piss-soaking. The lady isn't being contemptuous enough.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

I just put it in the recycling in the end. I admire the efforts that people are making but I just treated it like any other unwanted paper that somebody had left on my doorstep.

These "return to sender" things I understand often end up simply with Royal Mail paying the charges, not News International - that was the case with all the stuff about returning UKIP leaflets etc.

 

[Onket]

Return to sender is different to a freepost address though, isn't it?

Yes, d'oh, I mean freepost addresses. AFAIK you can always return post to sender, though this may not count as actual post so not sure.

 

[Onket]

I'd rather not return it if there's a chance Royal Mail will foot the bill. I thought Freepost was basically post on tic, and other people have said there is a weight limit but that's it.

 

[WouldBe]

I'll be using it to light the wood burner on Friday to get some hot water.

We didn't get a copy due to local postal workers refusing to touch it.

Now Milliband has (according to the Echo) apologised for being seen brandishing a copy.

It's quite satisfying to watch the Sun becoming as toxic to be seen with as Gary Glitter.

To be fair to Ed, it doesn't look like he's going to bother reading the piece of shit that's he's gingerly holding away from himself.

 

[ddraig]

to be fair? bollocks
it is straight forward endorsement
disgusting and foolish

 

[Dogsauce]

All the party leaders did it apparently. It's probably how he was persuaded, the classic 'well, the other kids are all doing it, why not you?'

A 'leader' with an ounce of fortitude would have told them to piss off.

It could be worse - he could have been holding a copy of the Daily Mail.

 

[moochedit]

mine just arrived...handy cos I was just off for a shite!

Yep, i found my copy was soft ….strong…. and thoroughly absorbent!

 

[treelover]

If he hadn't done it, I imagine it would have been "Milliband the man who doesn't back our boys"

 

[Favelado]

It could be worse - he could have been holding a copy of the Daily Mail.

That isn't worse than sending a very direct FUCK OFF to Merseyside.

It's something to do with weight. So returning the item is ok, but bricks aren't. butchersapron has the details (sorry to ask you again)

so? take that risk, be different, make a stand
oh wait...

 

[Favelado]

Exactly. Labour's biggest problem for me is their cowardice. They're always saving themselves from short-term embarrassment whilst guaranteeing their long-term decline. Have some fucking balls, cause a fuss, stop casting off the last tiny vestiges of social democracy, yes - make a stand. It would work. They're a pathetic excuse for a party now.

 

[xenon]

Does no one read threads any more. If you've not had it, they're being delivered over 3 days. Just got mine. undecided what to do with it. Not sure I can be arsed doing anything elaborate.

 

[DotCommunist]

i've just chuciked mine in the scuttle with the other free newspapers.

front covers pretty white ennit

 

[SpookyFrank]

James Corden is in it.

So he's not funny, but he makes up for it by being a cunt.

 

[Dogsauce]

I'm going to use it as inspiration for serial killing, bumping off everyone shown on the front cover in order.

Damn, I wouldn't have bothered in that case. Never mind.

 

[Zapp Brannigan]

We didn't get one, I'm disappointed, I'd got the fire pit ready and everything.

Bringing ours round for the ceremony.

He's a politician, so it isn't in the least bit surprising that he had his picture taken holding that shit paper. Trying to court the millions of votes of people who read that rag, at the risk of possibly losing some in Merseyside.

 

[Onket]

Disguised as 'a scoop'.

 

[sojourner]

I emailed Royal Mail to tell them not to deliver that filthy lying rag to my home. They replied saying no one was getting a copy throughout Liverpool.

 

[Onket]

Actual contents.

 

[tufty79]

mine got used in a couple of ways - soaking up cat puke (note: not the *best* material for the job), and collecting potato peelings. not at the same time.

in the bin atm, but if the stuff about freepost/RM charges gets clarified, I may well don my marigolds and strong stomach, and get parcelling...

Best do it in an UnBritish Order. Right to left, top to bottom? Boustrophedon?

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Mine arrived today.
