A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.
Sorry for this delay in service. Your correspondent has been standing outside on the pavement after an evacuation of Monitor Towers. Yes, a fire drill.

There's always one who takes the chance to slip off. Bet no-one will see him again until tomorrow.
Anyway. Back to the papers.
John Terry. He was on the pitch last night. As you may have heard, he's in a spot of bother at the mo for playing off-side. Seeing as he's saying little about his personal circumstances, a picture can paint a thousand words.
So what's he saying in this photo? The papers get to work translating this gesture.
"Silent partner: Terry quietens a hostile crowd..." - the Times
"Shhh-UT IT... Blues skipper terry hits back at Hull's fans last night" - the Sun
"QUIET, PLEASE: John Terry silences the boo-boys as Chelsea draw level..." - Daily Star
"Captain stares down his tormentors" - Daily Telegraph
"Silent treatment: Terry makes a point after Drogba's goal" - Metro
But in the picture wires, which supply photos to news desks, the Press Association photographer who took this snap captions it thus: "Chelsea's John Terry celebrates after team mate Didier Drogba (not pictured) scores from a free kick."
