No Tweets there I would think. My main concern with the internet edition of the NY Times are the popups that tell me that I've just gotten the last of my allotment of 10 internet freebies for the month, and that they'd like me to send them some money if I want any more before the next month comes around. I did in fact buy a one-month online subscription to The Times for all of 99 cents (an "introductory" offer) during the 2012 election campaign. I might have to do that again come next October or so.

The Telegraph used to be a good (albeit Tory) newspaper at the top end of the market.<br /><br />The mad Barclay Brothers have brought it down to a level only slightly above the lowest of the tabloid press. Sad, because it used to be good for a long train journey, and the crossword was doable without being easy.<br /><br />Tweets save journalists going out and seeking others' opinions, I guess. Munguin has been known to use them himself!!! (so it musty be alright!)<br /><br />Do they use them in print editions? I never buy them any more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-63792283374663843382016-05-16T21:05:54.464+01:002016-05-16T21:05:54.464+01:00I know... but I should have noticed that one was u...I know... but I should have noticed that one was up last week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-33533714919283061292016-05-16T02:28:22.690+01:002016-05-16T02:28:22.690+01:00Oh, I always love soppy Sunday, even when it is la...Oh, I always love soppy Sunday, even when it is late!<br /><br />There is a 'road less travelled' about 18 is there not?<br /><br />And 1 and 20.<br /><br />Just amazing.<br /><br />Thanks for these interludes.douglas clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422060678908705962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-74624834967999336852016-05-15T20:08:46.269+01:002016-05-15T20:08:46.269+01:00I only see the websites, but for tons of big splas...I only see the websites, but for tons of big splashy color pictures, I'd say that the Daily Mail can't be beat. ;-))<br /><br />Now let me get this straight Tris. In newspapers, you also want printed English language TEXT with your pictures?<br /><br />As for the internet editions, I'm annoyed by every article which inserts Tweets into the text. There seems to be no way to get away from social media garbage. Even in the internet editions of newspapers.

I had to hold my hand today as it was creeping towards another honeysuckle.<br />As for blossom, it is looking wonderful isn't it. Our new apple trees arrive on Tuesday so looking forward to blossom in profusion next year. Fortunately our neighbour has put a couple in and we have one which will help his triploid. <br />I am grateful to John's daughter for introducing me to the Oriental Kingfisher, is it beautiful.
