Has anyone out there got a recipe for the Metro (UK) ?

I had a look on their site (www.metro.co.uk) and they do provide RSS feeds, but when I tried a basic recipe it got the articles but spent ages processing the style sheets and the resulting output had no photos, or headlining, and had extrainious links.

Here is the basic recipe...

Code:

class AdvancedUserRecipe1289146844(BasicNewsRecipe):
    title          = u'MetroUK'
    oldest_article = 7
    max_articles_per_feed = 40

    feeds          = [(u'News', u'http://metro.co.uk/rss/news'), (u'Travel', u'http://metro.co.uk/rss/travel'), (u'Film', u'http://metro.co.uk/rss/metrolife/film'), (u'TV', u'http://www.metro.co.uk/rss/tv/'), (u'Tech & Gadgets', u'http://www.metro.co.uk/rss/tech/'), (u'Weird', u'http://metro.co.uk/rss/weird'), (u'Sport', u'http://www.metro.co.uk/rss/sport')]

Any help with even a basic clean up would be greatly appreciated.
