    The maddest specials in the world are featured in an eight-page supplement
    free with MCN, Wednesday January 7.

    Ignoring the fact that it will be shite, its *not* free, you have to buy the
    fucking paper. ggrrrrrr.

    So, which bit of "free _with_MCN_" don't you understand?

    If it upsets you that much, you could always purchase MCN and leave
    the free supplement in the newsagents, or better still, donate it to
    chariddy, mate. ;)

    Its *NOT* free. Its just another eight pages of the same shite. If it was
    stapled in with the rest of the pages, they wouldn't say it was free. If it
    was some freebie stuck to the front then fair enough but its *JUST* *MORE*
    *PAGES!!!!!!!!*

    It's not free. It's "free with".
    exactly, more pages for no extra money, therefore those extra pages
    cost zero, hence *FREE*.

    Don't tell me what you do for a living...it's in waste disposal
    management, isn't it?

    I would imagine that the number of pages would change from week to week
    anyway. If they had an extra page of adverts one week, could they say "now
    with free advert page".

    Its a newspaper about motorbikes, its supposed to have stuff about like this
    in it. All they've done is separated these *NOT FREE* pages from the rest of
    the paper. All you are getting free is two staples.

    How pissed off would you be if you went to buy your favourite magazine
    only to find you had to pay a quid *extra* for the suppliment?

    MCN ain't stapled. They can't do this 'cos they don't know how many
    pages are included in the free bikemart section. ;)

    Any luck with the extra quid question?

    back up there a bit, buddy...last time I saw an MCN I didn't think it
    had *any* staples i.e. just like any other tabloid newspaper - has
    this changed resently?

    No matter how hard I try, I can't bring myself to be pissed off about
    this. What's to be pissed off about?

    Gorman's hung like a hamster, and he's externalising his rage.
