News & Politics QotD: The Sunday Paper
What part does the Sunday newspaper play in your life?
As I'm usually at Church on a Sunday morning I'm too busy running around getting ready and trying to find the varying sundry items I need to take. Then when I get back from Church in the early afternoon there's usually something else to do and I don't end up with a paper. (If I'm getting a paper on a Sunday, I much prefer to get it in the morning, for some reason.)
However, I really love the Sunday paper, so if I'm not at church for any reason, holidays, bubonic plague, failed alarm clocks, I'll meander down to the newsagents and buy a copy of The Sunday Times. I'll start with the main newspaper then work through the other broadsheet sections, Sports, News Review, etc. Then I move on to a skim through the property and the motoring before what is usually the highlight of the whole experience - the Culture section, that's usually really good, they have good interviews and music and book reviews always keep me occupied. Then it's the Sunday Times Magazine, which is sometimes really interesting and sometimes a total snooze, followed by Style - I'm probably not strictly speaking meant to read that section, but they have a habit of interviewing Gisele and Mrs Mills is surely the funniest advice column in the history of the printed press...

we read the Times in opposite ways - my very strict routine, which never varies is....Style (while folding down corners of pages with things i want to buy/do/see), Magazine, Culture, Review, Travel, quick skim of main paper..the rest goes straight into the recycling!
I do send some bit's straight to recycling, namely Money and Business. (The boringest sections ever)
