Request for newspaper
« on: 08 January 2012, 00:13 »
Has anybody got a newspaper from 3rd January knocking around?  I forgot to buy one when Myla was born, and am kicking myself.  In fairness she was born at 9:50pm, bit late by then, but still.

If anyone has it, I'd be eternally grateful  :smiley:

what paper do you want? I might have the mirror where I was working but the people I was working for have gone back to china as their grandfather had a blood vessel in his brain burst and won't be back till the 17th, but I'll check when I can. I'll also have a look at my local paper bank.

Current cars 1995 Golf gti colour concept 2.0 8v 156,000 miles. bmw 316 1.9 129,000. yeah, life's good! :rolleyes:

If you have no joy anywhere else, the link below will happily take your kidneys for any paper of your choice...

The other option is to phone one of the news paper companies and either ask for back issues (some still do them), or just explain why you want it. They'll very likely still have some kicking around the office as they usually do and may send it out for free.
