Message from the Editor When I stared in newspapers it was often said that today’s paper is tomorrow’s fish and chip wrapper. It is a relief to know that some are not so casual about the press. John Menadue and Paul Keating ...

Great message from Catriona…

Oh don’t get me wrong what is happening under Trump is unforgivable but where is the other major party in all this? Apart from some pretty impressive Senate hearings that have had major consequences they mostly strike me as a bit rudderless …

Watching the UFC with the lads and this is very much the under under card - and one bloke just kicked the other one in a very unpleasant place - and then decided d it again…awks!

The yoghurt delivery women combatting loneliness in Japan As loneliness deepens in one of the world's fastest-ageing nations, a network of women delivering probiotic milk drinks has become a vital source of routine, connection and care.

Lovely little story..

You kind of know when they’re doing that if the top line has no letters..

Good god! I hated vox pops irrespective of the subject and bluntly refused to run them - randoms being randomly questioned on subjects they usually know nothing about.
