"It's everyone's worst fear... THE NIGHT MY HOUSE BURNT DOWN femail Magazine, 17 sparkling pages"
Gosh, what a way to promo a tragic tale AND a fluffy supplement about dresses and Christmas perfumes at the same time.
One of these things is not like the other, but that's never stopped the Daily Mail in the past. Paper Monitor could ponder the unbearable fascination of the mind that came up with that front page for the rest of the day...
And if the Mail itself does nothing else today, it can revel in victory over its traditional rival. It narrowly beat the Daily Express team in the Press Gallery Pub Quiz held at Parliament last night. The Sun muddled in mid-table, and the Daily Mirror came alarmingly near the bottom.
Right, back to the task at hand. The Daily Star has an interview with a young mum it dubs "Britain's laziest teen". How does it know? The story sheds no light on the criteria used to name her "top slacker".
Meanwhile, here's a headline from the Times that tells a story in its entirety, but which makes you want to read more, more, more:
So who is this man sticking two judicial fingers up at a mighty financial institution? It's one Judge Jeffrey Spinner, David to IndyMac Bank's Goliath.
Get in, your honour.
