Blog Today, Print Tomorrow (Again)
Iain Dale has alerted Guido to the fact that the blog post on Huhne was recycled in the newspaper diaries this morning. Guido doesn't usually read 'em, but they clearly read him...
Peter McKay's Ephraim Hardcastle in the Mail even pinched the carbon based life forms crack. Is Guido bitter? He'd like a case of decent Margaux sent over from Associated Press this time. The Evening Standard's diary has been stealing stories from Guido and Iain for years without ever paying a penny. Guido is still smarting from receiving a mysterious letter from the Evening Standard headed "Dear Londoner's Diary Contributor"... is someone fiddling the expenses at Associated?

The world will soon be running out of Carbon Dioxide. So many new non-carbon technologies are about to break - from hydrogen fuel cell, to solar, wind, wave (not to mention nuclear) - with carbon capture enhanced into plankton in the sea, pumping underground and into genetically modified plants.
The balance will swing the other way.
The planet, suffering from the effects of global dimming, will freeze unless CO2 output is increased. But with carbon fuels the most expensive to obtain, no one will want to burn hydrocarbons any more.
Being a new parent is taking its toll, Guido - 'tommorrow'?
Chuck,
You are today's offical sub-editor. Here is your gold star *
Very nice! I've always wanted one.
Now, where do I wear it?
I work in academia and if I were to copy someone's work and use it as my own (with out referencing or attributing the original authors), I would be done for plagiarism. This does not seem to apply to some newspapers, but then neither does truth in many of the tabloids...
I do hope you receive your rightful royalties from these newspapers.
Know what you mean about Margaux.. trying Chateau Pichecan 2001, from a recent booze cruise. (recomend Le Chais , Rue de Phalsbourg Calais ) for your wine needs.
(not as good as visiting the vineyards but short term needs are satsifactorily met)
In the interests of ergonomics, the Daily Mail and its sister publication should be perforated and easily separable into sheets, say 5" wide and 7" long.
They're only suitable for arses.
The Guardian has had that format for fucking years, so one up for them.
See yougov in the 'bellylarf' has Labour on 41% Guido, time to start the ditch Cameron campaign.
They come over here, stealing our jokes... String 'em up! It's the only language these thieving bastards understand!

Why not spuriusly seed your stories with guido-markers(i.e. ...his gold and purple striped Prius...) and see where the dud data re-emerges?

Nonsense, an attributed quote is obviously more favourable.

Just Passing Through's comment should be beamed onto the side of The Gherkin, as a warning to anyone else contemplating mindrotting substance abuse.

We have seen the polls,they unlike you make sense.You really are a little bit of a simpleton.
these are stories anyone could have got at the same time as guido and the press, natch, had to run the next day, because that's the time frame papers have. now by all means tell us the era of the printed word is over, but do give the hacks the benefit of the doubt: they could well be getting things at the same time as you, and simply unable to run them?
hands up who thinks ephraim is a better writer than guido based on the two renderings of the same story.

But Guido ran the story last year and was simply re-using it on Tuesday in a different context. So why else would the press have suddenly latched on to it now?

That would be me.
