Buying the Mail on Sunday could mean you are still reading it mid week as there is such a lot to read and all for £1.00.
The paper itself is 128 pages of news, gardening, travel, winter sports, travel log, holidays abroad and at home, sports mail and cartoons. If I went into each of these individually this opinion could take as long as the mail paper itself to read.
Like all Sunday papers and week day come to that, it does come with its fair share of additional papers and bits and pieces a lot of which go straight into the bin but anyuone who buys a paper expects this nowadays.
The additional magazine sections are good though.
Financial Mail
which you can also find on the internet (www.thisismoney.co.uk) gives the usual things like Midus, Markets, shares, personal finance and enterprise.
Review
this covers television, film, music, theatre, books and letters and my favourite Quotes of the week. Two good ones this week are one letter to the Guardian "Is the wind that carries the foot and mouth virus five, ten or 15 miles the same wind that carries pollen from GM crops 300 metres" and a quote from that wonderful man whom I love Spike Milligan when receiving an honorary Knighthood from Prince Charles this week "Do you know there are no dry cleaners in Peru?"
Lastly the You magazine with 90 odd pages covering features, Living, Fashion, beauty, food, health and relationships and of course the You crossword which you can (if you can) send off for top prize of £100
All in all you get all this for £1.00 which must be a bargain.

Here's some e-mail madness that will entertain the entire family! When Average Joe signs ... more
into a political chatroom and begins discussing current events with a savvy citizen, neither knows the other's surprising identity. You'll be e-mazed too, as an entire country discovers the nation's hottest new political mind belongs to an ordinary middle school student, and Average Joe turns out to be The President Of The United States! Yep... that guy! Starring Randy Quaid as the Chief Executive, and Emmy award winner Holland Taylor as his skeptical assistant, MAIL TO THE CHIEF is more fun than all the political parties put together!
You can do anything with sendmail, the saying goes, but why would you want to? The Exim ... more
mail-handling daemon, described in Philip Hazel'sExim: The Mail Transfer Agent, is just as capable as the old stalwart for handling everyday electronic mail duties, and is far easier to administer.Exim: The Mail Transfer Agentshows how to set up and use Exim with a style and polish that's typical of the blue-cover series of system-administration books from O'Reilly. You'll be very pleased with this book if you've chosen to work with Exim but require better information than the online documentation can provide. Philip Hazel has done a good job of combining a comprehensive set of details--including lots of command listings--with advice and practical examples that will make an administrator's life easier.Typical of this approach is the treatment of methods for blocking traffic from bad hosts that attempt to mail to your Exim station. The book runs through alternative techniques--using a public blocking list, blocking hostsexplicitly and so on--in series. Each technique is described in terms of what happens and why, and includes listings of the relevant configuration commands. Other sections, such as those concerned with SMTP configuration, are more reference-like. They contain long lists of commands and options, in which the purpose of each is explained.--David WallTopics covered:How to set up, configure and administer the Exim mail-handling agent. Directors, routers, transports, filters and the integration of Exim with Perl, shell scripts and database look-ups are covered.
Postage & Packaging:£2.75 Availability:Usually dispatched within 1-2 business days...
Advantages: Very reassuring for closet Tories, xenophobes and racists. Disadvantages: If you're not a white middle-class Tory male, you're not coming in.
