    Aren’t there more newsworthy headlines like what’s going on in North Korea or Julie Kirkbride?

  2. KC

    Oh dear.

    Any pretense the express had that it was a serious newspaper must disappear after this atrocious headline.

    What is going on in Julie Kirkbride?

    It seems a little disingenuous to complain about the headlines not covering her when she’s in Dead Blonde’s Corner.

    the ford fiesta in the top banner must be an old model, the new one costs about £10,000. i expect a new car from “the world’s greatest newspaper”!
    i suppose it’s nice to see some optimism in the express for once, but the main headline seems to be exaggerating quite a bit. we’re still officially in a recession so the pound probably isn’t “booming” anywhere at the moment unless you’re going on holiday somewhere worse hit than us.

  5. NickPheas

    Booming in the sense that the pound’s now worth 80% of it’s peak dollar price rather than 70%. Which is something.

    Does anybody who uses this site actually use the word horray?

  7. Stevie H

    Is it just me, or is there a touch of the Mumsy Vixen about Julie Kirkbride?

    (Oh and yes, it’s a terrible headline. Whilst a strong pound may be beneficial for those of us going on foreign holidays, it is not exclusively A Good Thing overall.)

    The pound has today lost all of yesterday’s gains against the Dollar and Euro.Don’t you just love the capitalist system………
    I know a very effective way for people to save 20 pence a day though!

  9. Nick

    All of yesterday’s gains, perhaps, but they weren’t the important ones. It dipped a toe over $1.60 yesterday, but had pulled back to $1.595 by close of play, and it’s still pretty much sitting there.

    However in early March it was $1.37. Quite a step up.

    Still poxy against the Euro though.

    The pound is booming. Hooray. Now even more expensive exports for Britain’s hard pressed industries.

    lol currency trading is all about what you can get on holiday as far as the express is concrned. If that’s the case, why are people not flocking to Zimbabwe?

  12. Phil

    When I was working today I just had to pick this up and read what it was on about. It basically went on about how it was a sign of Britain’s economic recovery and how we’re moving faster than Europe and the US.

    A far cry from when the Express was screaming “THEY’VE RUINED BRITAIN” about the economic stimulus and the Budget and all else.

  13. Original Paul

    Fast moving news from the Express, how do they do it?

  14. Railroad Man

    I’m surprised no-one’s mentioned the fact that Julie Kirkbride used to be engaged to Stephen Milligan, the Tory MP who died in a bizarre wanking accident in 1993.

  15. Original Paul

    Having had a good long look I would biff her but only after a few beers.

  16. Stevie H

    Well, Railroad Man, I wasn’t going to go quite as far as to ransack my dignity over her picture.

    But thanks for the warning!
