Thank you and Goodbye

[David Johnson]

Apparently this was the title of the final edition of the News of the World.

As a kid, my parents and I were avid readers of the NOTW.

I came across this genius headline which sums up part of the NOTW's approach to appeal to the readers' prurience over a Sunday Roast and a nice cup of tea.

'Nudist Welfare Man?s Model Wife Fell For The Chinese Hypnotist From The Co-op Bacon Factory'

For those of you intrigued by this story, read more here. I suspect no phone hackery was involved.

Goodbye and good riddance to toilet paper.

!cigar!I would suggest that everyone forces themselves to buy this last edition and seal it in an airtight bag (To stop the stink! lol) and in years to come you'll be on "Antiques Roadshow" with your copy, sitting with an expert, both wearing gasmasks and rubber gloves, discussing how valuable it is!!cigar!

Pleased to read that it's not you saying "Thank you and Goodbye" to the forum.

Without you and Jimslip would this forum survive?

Wouldnt surprise me if the papers sales has broken all records today.

Might have to hack their phones to see if theyve siphoned off the money to an off shore account. Its the sort of scummy behaviour I'd expect from them.

Apparently the NOTW management stated that all proceeds from the last edition would go to charity. I assume they mean all the money from the sales rather than just the profit.

Better than nothing, but a bit too late in the day for News International, an organisation that has had a very bad impact on British politics for decades.

I don't normally read this shitty rag, but my sister does and today I looked it over and all I could see was "we outed all the bastards in history and we were the dogs bollocks of reporting" Not a word about their lowdown shitty snooping mind or their responsibility in the phone hacking scandel.
Fuckem, they deserve to go down the pan and the British public is better off without them.
As to what a last edition would be worth in several years time is open to speculation. Me, I wouldn't give tuppence for the fucking thing. But then I don't invest in crap and that rag was crap.
