The Times or The Indo?

In light of the thread on DK's article in yesterdays Indo, i thought this poll might be a good idea.

What about the Examiner? I'm sure that one or two of the Turnipstanis would vote for that if it was an option

What a stupid question. The indo is for retards and poor people. Not the sort we want supporting Leinster

So poor people can't support Leinster?

Actually I prefer Andrex but should I get snowed in and unable to get out to the local Centra then I'd read the Times and put the Indo on the nail on
the back of the door. And for those of you who say "I wouldn't wipe...with the Indo", imagine what you'd do in these circumstances - cos option A "do nothing" is not an option in my book!!

In fairness, the Baked Beanz Indo's rugby coverage isn't too bad and its always fun playing the Glenda picture count game.

The Irish Times works for me. I was surprised to see Hiberno's take on it yesterday. Of all the newspapers in all the towns in all the world...it's the only one that SEEMS to report objectively.

Isn't it just! How many times can they have photos of the drag queen in one paper?

True. Great paper. The property section is pure affluence.

I'm a particular fan of the Church of Ireland notes, as is Dave Cahill. He uses it to source quality cake sales at summer fetes.....

The Irish Times has gone seriously down in quality since the Geraldine Kennedy took over.

I agree.
Still, it beats the rest hand-down. I always feel like I'm being patronised and taken for a fool when I read the Indo.

Yeah ckav - I'm currently enjoying the shitfight over Greystones harbour involving the dude from the IT that lives in Greystones. My favourite line was "They're going to make it like Woodies in Bray". Not just woodies. Woodies in Bray. Heaven forbid, not anything from Bray!

I'd say he's a blow in but you never know - there's a lot of odd types out there who still think they're part of the realm.

I used to love the IT, and in fairness, it's still the best of the Irish papers, but it's nowhere near as interesting and innovative as it was under the last guy. And the Saturday magazine, which started out brightly, is now genuinely cringeworthy.

But it still beats the Brendan O'Connor platform, now with extra photos of Glenda holding a HB ice cream.

Geraldine is giving yerman loads of airtime in the Letters page alright. You'd swear the development in Greystones Harbour was on a par with the A&E crisis/gangland violence.etc.
The funny thing is that those Greystones residents who are Defenders of the Realm, probably don't even know the development is actually happening..

The magazine is drab. I only read Roisin Ingle, Deirdre McQuillan and the What's On section now. Homes, gardens and Phillipe Starck interiors don't do it for me.

For what it's worth, I don't think they should have any development in Greystones until they have a full enquiry over the Charlesland development. A friend working for the real estate company warned me off Charlesland before it was even laid out on the plans. It is just such a disaster, I honestly think somebody should go to jail for it. I wouldn't trust those morons to handle a major development on the public lands at the harbour.

Funny, my father lives near it, and maintains it is the next Tallaght...scary thought.
