    I enjoy this daily feature as it’s interesting to compare the headlines of the different newspapers and see what they feel is the news story of the day. i.e. Bombs in Syria v Tits in the jungle

    However would it be possible to stop including the racing post? It’s not a real newspaper and having seen first hand the damage gambling can do when I worked in a bookies, I think your website would do well to ignore this particular publication.

      I think your request is sensible, Charles, but I get the impression that the good people of Broadsheet will include anything that’s submitted. Case in point, the Nightside and Southside people.

      Also, I’m not sure how much attention they pay to the comments, so it may be worthwhile to email them as well.

    now i grew up in the states but when i was a kid her age we had a similar song about Barney…”i love you, you love me, let’s all go kil Barney, with a .44, Barneys on the floor, no more purple dinosaur”
    it’s pretty normal kid stuff – i laughed my *rse off when she sang that song, cos it was just gleefully uncensored child!

      We also scoffed at lessons in mobile home safety provided by Popeye, and roared in laughter as the bond between postman and cat was tragically sundered.

      We had this one

      My best friend Billy had a 10 foot willy,
      He showed it to the girl next door
      She thought it was a snake
      So she hit it with a rake
      And now it’s only 6 foot 4

        That’s 3.05m and 1.93m for your benefit Starina. ;-) Lookin out for ya.

        But I’d ask that when you pass this on you’ll continue to use English units for the benefit of poetry.
