You’ve all heard of Watergate, well I’m afraid our big Friday splash is rather more unsavoury.
We have all the latest after a Tayside school was affected by a burst sewer. Poogate if you will.
Suffice to say, it was not pleasant.
Moving somewhat swiftly on, you may be intrigued to read more about the landlubber who leapt aboard a motorboat and zoomed out to the North Sea. Not that bad. Except he had spent the night drinking first. And was woefully under-prepared. He was in big trouble at court on Thursday. Boatgate if you will.
Meanwhile, the cat world is in mourning. Again. For the second time in a week. Oof. First it was the lovable Glenturret Distillery cat Peat who perished. Now the famous Fife feline Hamish Mchamish has also met his maker. Moggygate if you will.
As if all that wasn’t enough we have all the very latest from the referendum campaign trail. It really is heating up a bit now and the accusations are quite literally flying (not literally). Salmond, Darling et al have been going at it hammer and tongs. Heated words over the future of the nation’s banking industry very much took centre stage. Cashgate if you will.
We also have the sensational story of the mountain walker who took a wrong turn while out and about and ended up hanging from a ledge by one hand. For SEVEN hours. As he awaited rescue. Amazing stuff. Mountaingate if you will (though I rather suspect that by this point, you won’t).
It really does represent the most amazing array of tales (the aforementioned being put a tiny taster of the full feast on offer). For more please do be sure to pick up your copy of Friday’s Courier. Failing that, do not despair, merely seek out an alternative. An alternative that comes in the cunning form of our digital edition.
