FREE Guide to dating

Yesteday's Guardian (weekend edition) was full to the brim with reading material, and so a paper should be at £1.60 a go. But, as with many things in this world, it is quality, not quantity, that I want with News, so how did the Guardian fare?

Good.

The free guide to dating was, well, we'll leave that. Although, there were two highlights:

1. It featured an article by "legendary Agony Aunt Claire Raynor". Who?

2. The pun experts were out and had come up with an zinger for a statistics column; Raw Dater.

The paper, as you would expect, was full of Obama. One article was simply a list of what he had done for each hour of his first hundred in office. My favourite hour was:

Hour 71: Back to the gym for likely work out.

(Perhaps they need heed my advice, is that worth the paper it was printed on?)

The most amazing article, both in content and how that content ended up on page 3 (it's not the Sun don't get your hopes up), was the page spread entitled "From ice-cream to cognac, advertisers try to hijack the magic of the Obama brand"



Enough said.
