What newspaper?
Not only that, Trent Reznor is giving away a new NIN release:

I can believe it. The music is much better than the songs, and Paul is
trying too hard. IF he would work on his songwriting..instead of
trying to impress the public with
lengthier songs..the album might work.
You beat me to it, I've just heard about the ad on the telly and I
thought I must let the NG know, and there we are somebody beat me to
it.

"The Mail on Sunday" See the title of the threadlet dear Rich.
Danny
We Yanks don't necessarily know that "The Mail On Sunday" is a
newspaper!
Is that the one that Joe Jackson is referring to in "Sunday Papers"?
Mother doesn't go out anymore
Just sits at home and rolls her spastic eyes
But every weekend through the door
Come words of wisdom from the world outside
If you wanna know about the bishop and the actress
If you wanna know how to be a star
If you wanna know about the stains on the mattress
You can read it in the Sunday papers
Other Brit Sunday papers are:
The Sunday Mirror
The Sunday Telegraph
The Observer (kind of like a Sunday Guardian really)
The Sunday Times
The Sunday Express
The People
The News of the World (Sunday version of the Sun)
The Independant on Sunday
They all have different editors and staff than the regular weekday
papers so are veiwed as separate when it comes to court cases and the
like (AFAIK).
Danny
Joe is referring to the Suday Mirror, the People and (more to the
point) The NOTW.
Dany
His son is working for the Daily Mail...
Yeah but the Daily Mail is the weekday version, the Sunday one is
actually called "The Mail on Sunday", so I can see that Rich may have
been confused...being all American and Homer Simpson-like as you all
are.
Danny
Danny being a Brit and Benny Hill-like probably doesn't realize that
when an American sees "mail" he thinks "post office". So when I first
saw the title in the thread, I think "Wow, lucky Brits, they're all
getting MAF in their mail boxes. And what's up with Brits getting
postal delivery on Sunday?"
Then I saw the OP and I see "the full album given away in tomorrows
newspaper."
You might well arsk!

I see your very. Didn't think about it like that that.
We call it (the mail - with a little m) the Post.......The Daily Post
is a Liverpool newspaper btw (as is the Echo).

I believe I am more "Lisa-like". fwiw.

Thinking about I'm probably more like Homer's drinking mate, the one
that got married to a YO type in the B-sharps.
Danny
Just to make things more interesting, the newspaper I have delivered
every day is the Washington Post!

The lyric in PBW mentions 'the Daily Mail'. Granted, it's not a huge leap of
logic to figure out that 'the Mail on Sunday' could be an example of that,
but it's also not at all a totally obvious connection to make before being
prompted.

House: Find my cane and motorcycle. Figure out where I went last night.
Kutner: [taking out a notepad] Where's your cane and motorcycle?
House: You're gonna trust me? I lie about everything.

OUTSTANDING MOVE!
Paul and his label probably figure they've made all the profit they're
going to make on the album through traditional sales, so they give away
free copies, and the worst case scenario is it gets more exposure, and
gains new fans.
Win - Win - Win.
Where can I return my copy, or, failing that, exchange for something better
like Wild Life?
NOTW?, what does that mean?.
Go up a couple of posts:
"She's the kind of a girl
That makes the *News of the World*,
Yes you could say she was attractively built."
It's a scumbag Sunday paper.

By bike?
Remember when you were a kid, and you wanted a new bikey?
No, some guy drives by at about 30mph and flings them alternately out
the windows. Sometimes they land in my yard, sometimes they don't. I
just grab the one that's closest to my front door.
Ah, the good old days. I used to deliver newspapers on my bike...and
get chased by dogs (and occasionally bitten). They didn't have leash
laws in my area back then.
I was a paperboy too, for several years - not far from you I presume.
I didn't mind the route so much, getting up at 5 o'clock in the pitch
black of winter to go out into the freezing cold. It was usually nice
once you got out, and you were the only person around. What I didn't
enjoy was "collecting" on Friday nights - going around ringing doorbells
to get the weekly payment, hoping for a 10 or 25 cent tip to make it
worthwhile. Smelling cigarettes and hearing somebody whisper "tell him
I"m not home". Then we had to pay The Man who brought us our pile of
papers every morning, and he'd then give us our cut. Turned out he was
ripping off a bunch of 12-year olds - including me - and he went to
jail. I'm still looking for him!

Fortunately the Lowell Sun was an afternoon paper. That had its
advantages.
oops....computer double clutched while I was in mid-stroke ;-)

Yeah, that part I hated. A couple of pervs along the route who would
answer the door in their bathrobes and invite me in to "talk". Ugh!
Also, there was one old guy who would count out the $0.42 (daily only)
in *pennies*. No tip.

I was fortunate in that respect, I guess. The district manager was a
distant relative, and I didn't get cheated (unless you count the
pittance I was paid as cheating).
Just caught this olde poste re being a paperboy and had to chime in since
there's at least two fellow members of the paperboy fraternity in here. I
was one too, briefly. In my second week on the job I found a murdered
prostitute in a park across the road from the houses on my route. Just
lying there in plain view. Of course it was the break of dawn and naturally
the paperboy (me) was the first person to pass by after dark had lifted.
In addition to not liking the early hours the experience of finding a
woman's partially nude, battered corpse sort of made me think it wasn't
worth the pittance to keep at that job. A few months later I had to testify
at the trial of the thugs who had robbed and killed her, so at least they
got caught for a change. My testimony was limited to confirming the
location and condition of the body for the jury. No fun.
