Diesel Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Daily Star: Simply The Best 7 Days A WeekI don't think any of that reality/gameshow/WAG/supermodel PISH is newsworthy at all.It must have been a slow day in the newsroom for Dusty's story though!

Hog Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 In The Forres Gazette, I read a front page article about 2 women who didn't receive their Mothers Day card until 3 days after Mothers Day. The Post office made a mistake. There was even a photograph of the 2 distraught women with their cardso_O:rolleyes:Anyway, in Baghdad yesterday, 78 people were killed and 200 hundred wounded from a Truck bomb. I wonder how Forres would react if this happended to their people? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was indeed Nairn. Your 10 miles out. Although...it doesn't matter, all the towns look the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 To be fair it is 'The Forres, Elgin and Nairn Gazette'.The Gazette has the weirdest crossword in the world. FROSTYFACTApparently there was once a headline of "Naked Forres man beats dog to death", but that may have been the Evening Express...

Neil Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 That reminds me of the local headline I saw once, can't remember which local rag it was in, that said "Local man kicks seagull". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 I liked that EE one from a couple of years ago...'Council hawk ate my Yorkie',...but I think they altered it in later editions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Apparently there was once a headline of "Naked Forres man beats dog to death", but that may have been the Evening Express...Maybe it was just badly phrased, and meant that because the guy was naked he died before his dog did (the dog having nice warm fur to keep it alive).It should've read " Dog mourns tragically early death of its unclad master" or some such...

Alan Cynic Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 They get a lot of help from chemists who give them a wee dose of starling to help wean them off.It's a horrible business though...I know someone who nearly died when he took what he thought was seagull, but it turned out to be albatros:down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
