funny and good. nice to see some of the left has a sense of humour, but doesn't neglect the politics! particuarly liked the column by "mad hatings" aka max hastings, editor of the evening standard. never thought about it like that before, that he's so much against tube strikes because they sell much less papers on strike days (and no one takes their free shit-sheet "metro" either, also published by associated newspapers) - its obvious really, but as i said, i'd never considered it before. keep it up!
