The Daily Mail rocked the internet today with a front page heralding the exciting discovery of two mysterious long, skin-covered appendages protruding from the torsos of both UK Prime Minister Theresa May and Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon. According to evolutionary scientists, said appendages are called "legs," and are a vestigial trait from the time when humans had to "walk" in order to get anywhere, rather than float from room to room as we do now. Some early humans were also known to attach wheels to the bottom portion of these legs (known as "feet") in order to get places faster.
When asked her opinion on the Mail’s cover, May stated, “You would not expect me to comment on what newspapers should or should not put on their front pages.” Don't much care for her, but credit where due, that was a classy response.
Yup. It's (I believe) old-timey slang for legs. Don't ask me why - the only thing I can think of that very old 60s era Barbie dolls had pins sticking out of the bottoms of their feet so that you could display them on a stand that came along with the doll.
I have always been so envious of women who could wear heels of any height. I fall right over. I love shoes, too. And the prettiest ones are always heels, dammit!
Like this? I just bought them coz I had to give my eyes a present after looking after her awful shoes. And I have no self control. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...
A wee bit different than, say, a vitriolic 3am twitter screed about how the papers sales aren't up to snuff so any information must be, dare I say it, FAKE NEWS.
The guardian is ok. I used to read it in the olden days when I had time to read a paper. The independent isnt too frothing.
I don't read a paper anymore. Once I started teaching I cut it down to just on Saturday, but after a couple of years at the chalkface I didnt want to spend my weekend reading a paper, so I stopped entirely. I don't think my recommendation is worth much tbh!
I'm just out to broaden my horizons on the state of the rest of the planet to get my mind out of the shit-fest here. Thank you for your suggestion and help!
Any newspaper supporting Brexit isn't worth reading. Daily Fail, indeed.
I can't make myself read The Fail. Did they use the word "pins" as a replacement for the word "legs?"
Reason # 2938479827947 I can't bear to look at it is the "SheMail" section.

It's absolutely true because I read it in The Daily Mail

They also used the word "gams" to describe women's legs back in the '20's and 30's.

What British Newspapers would you recommend? I heard the Guardian was good. What do you think of it? Could you recommend any others?
