The Times: a modest success

The saga (history here) continues.

This week, I was only able to try two shops in Cork City as I had a lunchtime engagement near the western suburb of Ballincollig.

Neither city shop had the Law supplement (or Public Agenda, within which it is enclosed) and one did not even have Times 2.(Sigh).

However, I did - first time in four weeks - find a full copy of the newspaper in Ballincollig. Take a bow (and not just for this) Quish's Supervalu !

When I got to read it some hours later,though, it was somewhat disappointing: barely three pages of content and - quel horreur !- no cartoon.

Someone else in cyberspace has noticed that Murdoch is slipping: Nick Holmes has a different angle, but it is all coming together.

Need I mention the O.J. Simpson story ?
