No, metro is real news, but if it's the same as in Denmark it's a free newspaper for the morning commuters. Very british to call him a gentleman "I went out in my white pick up truck and the gentleman was with a cow, he had his left hand interfering with the cow and his right hand on a part of his lower body, his shirt was covering it." http://metro.co.uk/2018/01/31/pensioner-80-pushed-entire-arm-cows-rectum-masturbated-7276619/

As far as free newspapers go, Metro is okay.

It's probably better than all of the right-wing shitrags people pay money for.

It's like the Facebook page of an aunt that isn't a political loony. Most of it is true, but it has a definitely click-baity bias. http://metro.co.uk/

The one thing I miss about The Metro in the US, or at least in my area, is that they used to have at least one unintentionally hilarious or completely bizarre headline one the side bar of the front page. It was really the best possible way to start my day. The one that always sticks out in my mind is "One killed in outdoor tennis court explosion"

Mix them together in honor of The Room and its scotchka, a third example of a bizarre goon.

Tiggum posted:There used to be a free newspaper in Melbourne called MX, and the only stuff I ever read in it were the letters, which were like a weird offline internet comment thread - you'd get people responding to each other, back and forth, for days - and the missed connections section, which always came across as incredibly creepy and desperate. One woman I worked with at the time recognised herself described in there one time and actually changed the way she travelled to and from work because of it. Why, what did it say?

I'd be flattered if I saw a missed connection talking about being irresistibly attracted to the scruffy guy with the nerd glasses on the train last Friday, but for some reason it hasn't happened yet

I'm just going to assume that Jeremy is named after Jeremy Corbyn because of his left aligning anatomy and make that story perfect.
