Awesome word. I think this one will come in useful! I don't know why, but I'm thinking "Pappo-trash" stickers, in order to educate the uneducated?! “Pappo-trash”. Awesome word.

It has really has so many meanings, one could apply it to any situation. @Max -- hi-5! @xen ix -- don't worry, i was able to see loads of the countryside, many old things, and a few football matches. @Nate — mmm, balls.

You will find them all over Norway and Sweden, or any other European country I guess. Just ignore them. The UK has a lot more to offer you than this rubbish.

The French like this kind of press too. Why? It’s not so complicate to read because it’s stupid and mostly there is no bad news. For the fat balls any idea, but the British food is not the best in the world. For the «pappo-trash» it’s not specificly British, in all over the world it’s the same thing.

We just have to travel about 300 miles to our neareset Borders book store, then pay a ridiculously inflated import price for it by remortgaging the Macs that already cost the Earth. But it's worth it! I wouldn't be without my Wired... We get Wired too!

I am afraid that there is simply too much dross around in these rubbish mags today. I really could care less what Jordan had for her dinner or who drunk Paris Hilton was last night! That's about as important as the stories get in most of them. As for your great picture of Fat Balls, they are bird food. My mum used too (maybe she still does actually) get all the old far from the chip pan (deep fryer) and then roll it in to balls with left over bread and stuff and put it out for the birds in the winter. They love it. I have to agree with you on the pappo-trash (great word by the way :)). I am afraid that there is simply too much dross around in these rubbish mags today.
