I've just looked him up - his real name is Georgios Kyriacos Panayiotou, a singer, and his father was a Greek Cypriot, resident in London, which is an amazing coincidence because, of course, Peter Andre(a), allegedly a singer, was born of Greek Cypriot parents, also resident in London ..... :amazed:

Have you been on the pop?

George Michael > Garbage Bin > Peter Andre

George is far more talented.

Hear all staff are to be banned from the newsroom without supervision from Saturday night due to more possible scandal coming out.

LOL they're petrified of leaks/sabotage

Interesting....

Good for the Salvation Army and the RSPCA .....:thumbs:

Very well done to the Salvation army and RSPCA indeed, it helps demonstrate how toxic this matter has become.

Paul McMullan is an idiot

That's all very well with respect to the RSPCA, but in the early day of the Salvation Army, it's founder William Booth was accused of receiving "Tainted money" because he accepted a donation from a brewery.

William Booth's response was that the only thing wrong with "tainted money" was that there was Taint enough of it.

A pragmatist if ever there was one. :nono:

Times is different now ..... and anyway, the issue was not the "taint" of money, but association with a disreputable rag .... ;)

Good for the CofE ..... :thumbs:

Why is the church of england investing money into it anyway?

Front cover reads: Thank You & Goodbye

Thanks Omah. To quote a song title by Meatloaf I believe, ''You took the words right out of my mouth''.

Should be a full page apology

While I naturally feel a little for something that has been going for 168 years,I totally agree with you and it would have been appropriate for them to go out with a lot more decency by saying sorry to all that have been offended by the events of some near 10 years ago now and since.

Obviously they are unable to answer to as to the investigations going on but certainly to have shown some humility and acceptance that no matter who the staff are now, that the paper at that time got a lot wrong.

A very hacked off NOTW Journalist has apparently wrote Rebekah Brook's personal contact number on Twitter, if it's true oh dear:shocked:.

What a pompous Madam she is though, I don't know how she can sleep at night or have the audacity to not even at least offer her resignation.

Murdoch says he still has total support for her, what a really ignorant person he is too.

Sadly she'll just get a new number and genuine calls will be diverted by some asisstant no doubt :rolleyes:

Nice to see some form of remorse from them :rolleyes:

I totally agree she has a nerve but if that really is her number I wouldn't do that kind of thing because I wouldn't like it if someone did it to me, even though the innocent employees have every right to be peed off, but not as much as everyone who got hacked of course.

Murdoch is a repugnant man.

I expect they'll make a lot of money tomorrow from their final paper. I know a lot of people are refusing to buy it but I probably will, just because all of the money is going to charity and also it's something to look back on. Mum still has newspapers from when I was born, 9/11 and 7/7. It's always interesting to look back at them.

Their sports journalists were actually quite good:sad:, that is only one thing I will miss.

It's a shame that some of their workers had nothing to do with any of this and lost their jobs due to the selfishness of others :nono:

Absolutely! I heard that some of the NOTW workers who are innocent will be offered jobs at Murdoch's other newspapers but they should tell him to shove it, however the recession is still in full swing and it's a job plus they have to support themselves and their families..

Yes,they will, sadly I know people who are going to buy it tomorrow,they say mainly because it will be a part of history and it has a pullout of the first ever News of the World from 168 years ago.

The only bit I like of what they are saying is that it's now part of history,the past,no future.

I wish the Daily Star and the Daily Fail would join it, tacky and vile papers:bored:.

A lot of what Paul said was true. Celebs are now just starting to jump on the bandwagon and using it to get noticed. Paul also raised a few good points. Steve is a celebrity, he walks down read carpets and thus attracts the papers to him.

No
there needs to be so many types
The Star does great free offers

The D. Mail gives us the best Photo quality online.



The NOTW
has a great History - even if you do not like it.

From talking to people,it was a good paper ages ago, like most press it has swayed away from real news to making or inventing its stories at times.

Now it has paid the rpice for believing it was invincible,I doubt it very much but it would be nice to think other papers will now look internally at themselves and seek ways to regain some decent reporting and editorial competence.

It has a history yes, thankfully though now, no future, that is one good thing to come from this scandal for starters.

I know it's too much to hope for but I would love to see the fall of the Murdoch empire because of this too. Maybe if he keeps praising Rebekah Brookes and she gets brought in more to this, it might have some effect as to that starting to happen.

I bought the final one (well, the money for it is going to charity, so why not?) They have a pullout of the first ever front page, was weird reading it lol

I was tempted to get it just to see the old headlines and the first edition but I thought I would be being hypocritical after all I've said about them.
I guess it would have been interesting to read the first edition,I didn't know the money for todays sales were going to charity though.

I don't really buy papers anyway.

Gonna pop down to the shop in a minute to get mine :hugesmile:

I could see one of the covers on the front page had the BB7 eye on it xD
