Can't say I am surprised. It has been a rubbish paper since Murdoch took it over (and not much better before that)! I will not miss it !

The NoW are to print extra copies this weekend.

Why? Do they think people will buy them as an investment (the end of 168 years publishing)? 

With these extra copies they will be as rare, and collectible, as Tetley Tea Bags! (Sorry Tetley!)

Yep, I remember this one as well. None of these was as bad as the NoW or the Sun!
