I say go ahead, put it in Cornflakes: the last freebie I found in a box of those things was a coupon for some of these:

It was a lot better than Heather's "I'm bonkers" look.

Love truly is blind because I don't see what is so great about her.

Pretty soon they'll be sending these albums out like spam or better yet like ads in the old school mail.  Let's see, here's something about gutters, a few catalogues, and ah yes, the new McCartney album.  

Poor old media.  Not even a free CD will help their subscriptions.  

What they really need to do is have some kind of crappy reality TV show where the newspaper picks a lucky winner who gets to  remix Beatles masters with Paul and George Martin.

I'm all for it, so long as a Jacko doesn't turn up.

Maybe they should have held a series of Dutch Auctions on the net to see how little they could get for it! Or maybe they're leaving that for version 5.

I wish our papers would try something like that: all I got in mine this morning was a pizza advert from a place that can't make the stuff and a flyer for new lawn mowers.

You can get The Mail On Sunday here, but sadly you don't get any of the freebies. I should have asked my brother to get me one.

What was interesting about the Mail On Sunday in which Paul's album came free, was that there was a big story about Melanie Coe. Melanie who? You might ask. Well, the headline read 'She's Leaving Home (Again)' and the blurb read: "The woman who inspired a Beatles classic 40 years ago has had to quit the Spanish house she built illegally." Melanie ran away from home at the age of 17 in February 1967 and, reading the story in the newspapers (actually, the Daily Mail), Paul penned 'She's Leaving Home.' Melanie was pregnant at the time and was afraid her mother would beat her. Instead of running away with the father of her unborn child, she fled into the arms of a croupier. It turned out that she had originally met Paul McCartney when she was 13 when she mimed to a Brenda Lee record on the TV series 'Ready, Steady, Go!' and Paul presented her with a prize. Six years later she was living in Los Angeles and dating Robin (sorry, Burt Ward). The story concerns her home in Spain. When she bought some land in Spain, no one knew that it was actually on protected parkland and when she built a three-bedroomed wooden panelled house on it, the police arrived and told her she had put up an illegal building. Nothing happened for four years and then she was told that she was facing an 18-month prison sentence or 140,000 pound fine. She was only let off the fine when she agreed to demolish her house.
