The Daily Mail are giving Lego away this week. The downside is that you have to buy the Daily Mail to claim your Lego.
This morning I went into Morrisons to get my "paper" & Lego. On receiving my Lego I tried to give the "paper" away to the next bloke in the queue, he didn't want it. So I gave it back to the nice lady at the kiosk and she put it on the pile of other discarded Daily Mails.
I was trying to think of a better use for the "paper" other than just asking the shop to throw it away. Can you still send crap to Farage for free?
The Lego is very nice BTW.
Tell me about the Lego......
Stop being a ponce, and just read it. You know you will be in about 20 years time, so might as well get acclimatised.
Pop it in the recycle bin?
Today's

There is a link to the offer on the Daily Mail's website, where you can also find some long range pap' shots of Madeline McCann's mum on a beach, some Turkish blokes looking a bit shifty and a piece about how Austrian drag acts will have sex with your geraniums at British tax payers' expense if this sort of thing is allowed to carry on.
It's worth the cost of a wood burner to use the paper as lighting material.
Super Secret Police Enforcer looks like one crazy dude...
He probably reads the Daily Mail.Super Secret Police Enforcer looks like one crazy dude...
Do you have to claim the Lego on the day you buy the p***r?
Yis (while stocks last) or you can post the coupons off to the Mail and they will send it to you. However, this will put you on The List.
Oh, is there a coupon inside the paper today?
None in yesterday's. Only checking because Smiths was out of Lego before midday, had a tearful wee lad. If there's def a coupon, might pop out to find a copy of the rag.
Else can swap for a Spider-Man from yesterday, if anyone's got a spare.
There is one in today's.
I think you can get a free copy of the DM with your My Waitrose card when you shop… just thinking of ways not to have to give them your money.
Although obviously there's The List. Invent an alter ego? Get it delivered to work?
'Mr H. Thespydar?'
'Yes, that's, well, it's my Daily Mail name. The H is for Hitler. It was the only way...'
...snatches package from reception and runs….
He probably reads the Daily Mail.
Let's face it, he didn't really have a choice today, did he.
Poor bastard...
Trousers.
I'm stuck in work 'till morning.
I'll phone the Mrs, she'll be overjoyed to miss Crimson Fields for yet more Lego.
It was in The Sun a while back. It was a shameful experience buying it. "Can I have a bag please".
You could stuff it down your shirt for those long cold descents or tear it into small squares to hang on a hook in the outhouse. Other than that it's useless.
Invent an alter ego?
Today's in store purchase was with my alter ego XenaWarriorQueen@TheJungle.com
read it? Although I think it might either cause and/or cure cancer depending on what week it is.
I like the Daily Mails crossword on the back page...

Buy a copy of Barely Legal and wrap it round the outside
If you want the Lego, buy the Lego.
If you don't want to buy the Mail, don't buy the Mail.
Is it really that hard?
But I normally wouldn't buy those Lego sets.
I can put up with funding the Mail for a few days for lovely cheap Lego.
The alternative is to visit the local family who insist on flying the Union Flag on a huuuge flagpole in their garden.
They're bound to have it delivered.
I think I might have to keep an eye out for the freebie copies at work this week and collect the vouchers from them 😀
Rusty Spanner - MemberThe alternative is to visit the local family who insist on flying the Union Flag on a huuuge flagpole in their garden.
They're bound to have it delivered.
Also, they won't want the lego because they're a bit nervous around little yellow people.
Is it really that hard?
After looking at the pictures. Yes.
😆 @ NW
If you want the Lego, buy the Lego.
If you don't want to buy the Mail, don't buy the Mail.Is it really that hard?
Oh too be so wealthy I could have principles
Given minifigures are £2.50, the Spiderman set my son got for the 90p price of the paper on Saturday was a top bargain...sod principles, I shall be visiting WHSmiths for my Daily Mail all next week
When i was a student I worked in whsmiths. Daily mail were at the time giving away audio books of miss marple or foreign language courses. I used to just ask the customer if they actually wanted the paper and if not give them the cd, no purchase necessary.
It's a loss leader.
Just buy the paper for the free toy, then never buy it again.
Every now and then The Sun does a holiday voucher offer.
Mrs MTG spends a few quid on newspapers for a week to get her cheap holiday, I read Hagar, then it goes in the bin.
You can wrap it up any way you want but given the lengths to which this website goes to, and many of its readers to avoid the Daily Mail so many of you are happy to give it your money for a toy.
Wiping your backside with the paper afterwards may be hilarious but you have contributed to the type of journalism many of you claim to detest.
Take perverse satisfaction from placing a virgin and unopened DM in the bottom of the litter tray and allow tiddles to do his thing.

Did this once for ferry tickets. A ferry full of Sun readers....I guess it could have been worse and a ferry full of DM readers.
The lego - meh. Lego should be uniform standard blocks, not all this bespoke single use bobbins. It's destroying creativity I tells ya!
just think of it as a double bargain. You get cheap lego AND you make them spend money on something you aren't going to read. As long as you don't open it this will work
you don't open it?
do you?
really?

is the virgin really necessary for this? will the DM not do by itself
Super Secret Police Enforcer needs to get a decent nights sleep,check out his red eyes!!
UPDATE
I've got the perfect solution. A friend on my mum's who takes the Daily Mail (to be fair, she probably pays for it) is saving the vouchers for me and we will apply for the Lego by post.
Double win. The DM don't sell another copy at my expense and I get 7 Lego models for the price of a stamp.

And you'll need something to remove the ink stains from your posterior.
Surfer. 🙂
I'm sorry I'm not idealogically pure enough for you.
Although to be fair, it's usually the right that places greater import on such matters, so I can see why you're getting upset.
I buy the Telegraph too, but don't tell anyone.
And as to Lego not being uniform anymore - it still is.
Most of the fancy bits in new kits still connect with the standard shaped bits.
So there.

Hmmm - there's nothing in that photo on page one that's couldn't be made with a bunch of 6ers, 4ers and a stash of 8X1ers........and a bloody good dollop of imagination! And I bet it comes with instructions!
🙂
As for the expression on the policeman's face, can't be too long before we get some Douglas Adams based sets:
'Listen Beeblebrox, I've had a tough day.......'
[i]And I bet it comes with instructions![/i]
That's because... It. Is. For. CHILDREN!!
It's a loss leader.

So the DM have to splash out for the privelege of us buying some cheap Lego?
Win, win - brilliant.

I'm glad we managed to square that circle 🙄
No Lego in Morrisons today - Toys R Us or WH Smiths only.
"Lego" is a contraction of the Danish "leg godt" which means "play well". Just thought you'd like to know.
