These are the main four news headlines as taken from Yahoo. Sod the Iraq situation: I want to know that someone I don't know or ever want to know has got more food because of other people I don't know or ever want to know.

Haven't you been outside lately?
The government, in conjunction with Tania and Virgin Iraq (a new marketing deal), have planted these address trees all over the shop.

Look I've made the news better:

Soldiers to hunt Tania as housemates win task
Chris Evans loses Iraq: a "misunderstanding"
More food for Virgin song swappers
Radio deaths lawsuit

And Gerrid, how can she sell them her story if she doesn't know where to send it? Addresses don't grow on trees!

She doesn't buy papers as she ambushes the paperboy every morning and steals the news from him.

She shouldn't have gone blabbing her story around to all and sundry for free.
One of the tabloids would have paid thousands for that exclusive.

Yup, she cleverly used her 10p off coupon and saved herself 10p off the price of her purchased peas. She later regailed the unedited version of this story to her friends, family, people on the bus and to the till girl in Kwik Save when purchasing some beans that are 1p a can cheaper than the ones you can buy in Iceland.

Frozen Beans, the way forward.

To be fair though, whilst HMV and Virgin market themselves well, their prices are pretty high on new stuff, it's only really their promotions which are worth bothering with. Even so at the moment even Woolworths has slashed their album prices to 9.99 on most titles, and most eBay sellers take cheques or money orders. Good point about the credit card thing though, you'll all just have to wait until you're older :P

Yeah and a woman in Chester has just purchased some peas from Iceland.

That's new but not newsworthy.
