The lyric in PBW mentions 'the Daily Mail'. Granted, it's not a huge leap of
logic to figure out that 'the Mail on Sunday' could be an example of that,
but it's also not at all a totally obvious connection to make before being
prompted.

OUTSTANDING MOVE!
Paul and his label probably figure they've made all the profit they're
going to make on the album through traditional sales, so they give away
free copies, and the worst case scenario is it gets more exposure, and
gains new fans.
Win - Win - Win. |

Where can I return my copy, or, failing that, exchange for something better
like Wild Life? |

No, some guy drives by at about 30mph and flings them alternately out
the windows. Sometimes they land in my yard, sometimes they don't. I
just grab the one that's closest to my front door.
Ah, the good old days. I used to deliver newspapers on my bike...and
get chased by dogs (and occasionally bitten). They didn't have leash
laws in my area back then. |

I was a paperboy too, for several years - not far from you I presume.
I didn't mind the route so much, getting up at 5 o'clock in the pitch
black of winter to go out into the freezing cold. It was usually nice
once you got out, and you were the only person around. What I didn't
enjoy was "collecting" on Friday nights - going around ringing doorbells
to get the weekly payment, hoping for a 10 or 25 cent tip to make it
worthwhile. Smelling cigarettes and hearing somebody whisper "tell him
I"m not home". Then we had to pay The Man who brought us our pile of
papers every morning, and he'd then give us our cut. Turned out he was
ripping off a bunch of 12-year olds - including me - and he went to
jail. I'm still looking for him! |

Fortunately the Lowell Sun was an afternoon paper. That had its
advantages.

Yeah, that part I hated. A couple of pervs along the route who would
answer the door in their bathrobes and invite me in to "talk". Ugh!
Also, there was one old guy who would count out the $0.42 (daily only)
in *pennies*. No tip.

I was fortunate in that respect, I guess. The district manager was a
distant relative, and I didn't get cheated (unless you count the
pittance I was paid as cheating). |
