  Evening Standard - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
The Evening Standard is an English tabloid newspaper published and sold in London and surrounding areas.
The paper was launched as the Standard on May 21, 1827, and for a short period, during the 1990s, it reverted to its original name (some other local newspapers in the UK have also been named Evening Standard).
Although the Standard (as it is commonly referred to) shares the same Editor in Chief, Paul Dacre, as the Daily Mail it has a quite different style from the latter's "middle England" outlook, having to appeal to a cosmopolitan readership.

 London Evening Standard & Gold Bars
We received a telephone call today from a Brian Johnson of the London Evening Standard in relation to a gold bar we had supplied indirectly to a fellow employee at the Evening Standard.
According to Brian, he had shown the gold bar to the experts in the financial section of the Evening Standard who had declared that as the bar had no serial number, then it was no good and worthless.
If indeed he reported their comments accurately, then it is time the Evening Standard fired its financial experts and replaced them with real experts.

 BBC NEWS | UK | Murdoch versus Evening Standard
Rupert Murdoch's News International is challenging the afternoon monopoly of the paid-for Evening Standard.
He told the BBC: "The Evening Standard and Lord Rothermere are so worried about their monopoly - which the London Daily News is finally breaking - and so scared about the huge demand for our paper, that they've brought out a cheapo Evening News, which is really a joke."
In an echo of the relaunch of the Evening News 20 years ago, Associated has launched London Lite - but this time it insists the paper is more than just a spoiler and would have been published even if the Murdoch title had not been.

 The Yorkshire Ranter
Back on Monday, the London Evening Standard ran a long and sensational story by Andrew Gilligan regarding none other than my alter-ego, Viktor Bout, who it seems has been working for the MoD even after many of his companies were fllisted by the US.
Yet an Evening Standard investigation has found that, just two months ago, a Victor Bout company was hired by that very same British government to operate military flights from a key RAF base.
The Standard piece referred to in the text is still available on the paper's (badly designed and slow) site, but this one has been sanitised.

 [Media Watch] Outrageous Evening Standard attack on Chavez
Interestingly, there is no mention at all of the coup in your piece, even though it provides the crucial context to most of your allegations of him being an "authoritarian."
The new "disrespect" laws are in line with most other countries in Latin America and were introduced, primarily, to stop the media from publicly calling for insurrection and Chávez's assassination, which they had been doing for years.
To say he tried to "impose control" on the oil industry is even more ludicrous.

The focus of Stereolab's delicate, precise blend of electronic and organic has shifted from an even, unfolding flow to an unpredictable bag of rhythmic tricks that just cry out for the word 'quirky' to be applied to them (much as the hapless reviewer may resist).
Admittedly, it's kind of odd, but even the weirdest bits sound totally banal by the 40th time you hear them.
Lots of the Buttholes' early albums were certainly bad in the conventional sense -- so loose, perverted and generally twisted they were in a class of their own.
