Paper Monitor

14:40 UK time, Monday, 7 June 2010

A service highlighting the riches of the daily press.

Sometimes reading the papers feels like having a dream after a late-night snack of cheese - really quite bizarre.

The first pinch-me-cos-I-think-I'm-dreaming story is in today's Sun's story about US rapper recording a video message to wish Coronation Street happy 50th anniversary.

What up dog. It's your boy big Snoop Dogg saying happy 50th anniversary to Coronation Street and all my peoples in Manchester UK gettin' in there doin' it big.

The Daily Mail has another such gem - a bride-to-be who has changed her name by deed poll to include "I". All because the travel giant charged for changing the surname on her Gambia honeymoon booking to her married name, while her passport still carried her maiden name. According to the paper, in protest she changed her full name to "Mrs Lorraine Darla I Hate Thomas Cook And Its Associates Big Shot Company Treading On The Little Guy Leeks" The travel firm said its rules are that the name on a booking must match the passport.

Paper Monitor's dreams are never as good as this.
