Department of You Couldn't Make It Up

The Daily Mail has managed to avoid having the names of its journalists published in the current phone hacking case ..... by invoking the Human Rights Act lol!PS: In another ridiculous story, the Mail has managed to find a psychologist and (I kid you not) who is, apparently, an expert in hoarding to produce the astonishing revelation that "If you have magazine piles in the garage, years' worth of paperwork filling more than one cupboard, and can't see your kitchen surfaces any more, be warned that you may be becoming a hoarder." Well, who on earth would have guessed it?

"On the best tactics to address hoarding behaviours, Dr Morein says people should not just spring-clean each year but should tidy or sort through belongings much more often - perhaps even every week."Tidy every week! You stop being a hoarder but do become an obsessive!

In case Richard decluttered and recycled the hard copy, I put the link below.It looks like a reasonable short interview with a plug for an event.I guess most forms of addition sound obvious when described. It appears to be trying to describe the tipping point.Some good tips on reuse too.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11906655/Are-secret-hoarder-Psychologist-reveals-three-tell-tale-signs-watch-for.html

Did it get this information by interviewing the hoarding expert, or by its more usual method of tapping the guy's phone? For that matter, does this expert even exist and did he actually say this, or is it just another of those made up or exaggerated stories in which the Mail specialises?

I don't: I just read about it occasionally.

I have to ask:    Why do you keep reading it?
