Why do I always, always, always muddle up the two Stus?

Stu Ferrol will not be amused...

Here's me all ready to congratulate our glorious moderator, too. Should be a good article no matter who wrote it!

Amusingly pedantic letters page this issue. Also, the headline about the Florida man arrested in a bank claiming to be the CIA director and half orangutan - surely that was worth an article in itself?

That's all I've read so far.

I've applied to be upgraded to that, in lieu of other residuals.

I'll let you know how I get on...

Anyway, got mine today too. Saving it for otherwise boring interlude tomorrow.

Got mine today.
Interesting.
It seems to be printed using only a film of ink which seems quite flimsy.
I bet the paper companies are shitting themselves now they're redundant - have you thought of patenting this remarkable process that avoids paper completely?

On the plus side, I'm REALLY looking forward to reading the Hexham Heads article. I remember watching Look North when it was reported and thinking it was the oddest story I'd ever heard.

Get well soon! Didn't get a chance to read any more, but I do like the bear photos, especially the flying one.
