Opening my local paper today (I adore local press, with such amazing headlines as - Dog steals Sir David's cheese. About a dog, which stunningly, and indeed cunningly stole and consumed a wheel of cheese intended for a dinner with none other than Sir David Atombottom himself. First page news if ever I heard it) Anyway, I noticed there was an article on the influx of Polish people to the area and in the back of my mind I thought 'crap, this is going to be Mr Angry Anderson of Stoat-on-the-Wold getting his pants round his ankles about them all stealing the women and the bread or something like that.' But no! It actually featured a cut-out 'n' keep guide to basic pleasantries (with pronounciation guide) a map to the best Polish delis and what to find there, stories of young Polaks making a go of it and in general how lovely they all were and how they'd pepped up the construction industry, swelled Church populations and were driven and hardworking as well as cooking a mean sausage. You could have knocked me down with...well with something I'm sure. What a great article to find in this angry, blamey, mildly zenophobic society we live in. Other articles of note > Owzat for multicultural harmony? (racial equality cricket) Henry VIII - He was not such a bad guy (you couldn't make this paper up I swear) Twin feat for Mum's guide dog Barley No job cuts at Hospital. This tells me that it is a slow news week and that I live in the most cheerful borough in London! So grab your Local or free rag and tell me what's going on where you live |

Spruce-up For Grand Old Lady sez our local News Ltd rag. Evidently they're talking about a 148-year-old church in Williamstown, Vic. But that's not all. Elsewhere it's 'Lane Mural Complete', which concerns the completion of a mural... in a lane. Why am I putting you through this? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
