What kind of newspaper is this Metro anyway?

This was the second article on the page. http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/808171-mans-penis-freed-from-metal-pipe-with-industrial-grinder

Glad to see High Elf players are getting some news coverage.

I need to get my news from here more often!

A free daily paper usually filled with nonsensical or lowest common denominator content, particularly the celebrity gossip stuff. Only any good for a flick through when killing time on the train. It's free, so you get what you pay for.

This story is months or even years old now.

It's like the Daily Mail, just minus the thinly veiled racism and homophobia.

Yes. By if you mean "months or years", you mean 2 weeks...

And you can get that from Fox News!

It's a terrible free paper you get on the Underground in this country.
However, it is lulz worthy.

It's way old, I recall it being on Have I got News for You or Russell Howard ages ago.

This is the same story reported in 2008.

Not just underground; overground and busses too. Not even suitable as toilet paper if you ask me.

Well it was on a repeat of Russell Howard from 2 weeks ago, which is from where I saw it. And by the looks of it, some people haven't seen it before either. That a problem or something?

Fair enough. I've only ever been on the underground in London, so unaware of it's placement. But yeah, it is terrible.

The real thing that makes you wonder is:

What happened to cause their cemetery to fill up?

...the plot thickens.

None at all. Surprised you didn't realise you were watching a 2 year old repeat though.

People dying? you know graves have to be 6 foot deep and spaced at least a foot apart from eachother right?

Russell Howard's Good News: Episode 7 of Season 3 - Aired: 2nd December.

If you're going to try and be condescending, might want to research it. Or just be less of a douchefag. Just a suggestion. <3

Not really any need for this level of aggression is there? Howard doesn't seem very condescending to me.

If you want to sarcastically dismiss people in future with "Yes. By if you mean "months or years", you mean 2 weeks..." then make sure you do *your* research and google the story to check that, you know, the story isn't years old as claimed.

Just a suggestion.

Can we get back to the point. I don't want to be arrested if I die.

Its no worse than that old UK bylaw that made suicide punishable by capital punishment.
