It's properly referred to as The Times, or if you must, The Times of London. Never the "London Times."

Drew of Frankfforte's other work - Fosomies - was always my favorite.

Thought advertising was bad NOW... no wonder it was hard to

sell and get going with so much advertising and so little news.

I seem to remember enjoying the 'Bosoms' threads back then.
Kept well clear of the 'Pizzles' ones though.

Comsamvimes: The Truth Shall Make Ye Fret

If they had a couple more issues of the A-M Times, I think they would have gotten to "The truth shall make ye fart."

Hopefully The Times will survive Murdoch.

aearra: Hopefully The Times will survive Murdoch.

Time-Warner seems to have survived Turner, who is Murdoch-center-left... so it's likely enough. If any newspaper were to survive the ongoing papyrocaust as advertising revenues dry up, I'd imagine it'd be one with the "cred" of that kind of history.

The library at Rutgers University has the full archives of the Times on microfilm back to 1785. It was interesting reading things like George Washington's obituary. I was researching some events from the 1820s and was amused to see that the front page of every edition of the Times consisted of nothing but classified ads, and that the news didn't begin until page two.
