Armed with nothing but a home made surf board, a well known Perth business man is set to tackle the mighty Tay.
The intrepid fellow is going to take on a 22 mile stretch of the river between Dunkeld and Perth.
Who is this madcap chap? And how did a one mile dry run (it wasn’t a dry run, it was very wet) go on Wednesday? We have all the answers.
We also have all the latest on the dad who faked his son’s details so that he could go to school one year early, hence getting him out from under the feet of his long-suffering wife. A sheriff was not impressed…
What a day of politics it was. Really rather sensational. People are still getting jolly worked up about this bally independence referendum business. For starters we have all the details of JK Rowling’s massive donation to the Better Together campaign. It has proved somewhat controversial.
Having thus whetted your (political) appetite, it is my absolute pleasure to serve up a main course. And that main course comes in the form of this unholy rumpus surrounding comments made by Alex Salmond’s special adviser. You can make up your own mind (in a fully informed manner) after perusing Thursday’s fabulous Courier.
By way of dessert we have an exclusive interview with Danny Alexander (the jolly important chap from the Treasury). What did he say? Find out in your bumper edition.
You will be feeling most satisfied not to mention sated after tucking into those three courses, I am sure. But if you were still hungry for politics you could nibble on the wafer mint thin mint represented by Alex Salmond banging on about the “halo” effect of the independence referendum. What on earth is he on about? You know where to find out…
In other, utterly joyous, completely delightful and absolutely wonderful news the World Cup is at long, long last upon us.
We celebrate by chatting to a boffin who has mapped out the tournament in miniscule detail. It’s all to do with statistical analysis.
He concludes that deep breath Brazil will win, Scotland would have made the knock-out stages had they qualified, England will lose in the quarter finals to Spain, Argentina will come second, France will come second to Ecuador in their group but will be knocked out by Argentina….and so on and so forth.
Fascinating stuff. But possibly absolute nonsense. Please feel free to make up your own mind.
If you covet a great, great read then mon dieu, you will love Thursday’s Courier. If paper won’t cut your particular brand of mustard (as it were) please do try our digital edition.
