What a year it’s been.
And while it may be in its closing stages, 2014 is set to get even better.
In years to come people will say (and this is almost certainly a direct quote):
“2014 was great the Commonwealth Games, the unprecedented public engagement in politics brought about by the independence referendum and then on the 31st of December the world’s greatest ever paper hit the newsstands.”
Not my words, the (future) words of literally millions of ordinary Scots (probably).
And they won’t be wrong, for Wednesday’s Courier is indeed the type of journalistic behemoth guaranteed to leave our competitors looking on in slack-jawed envy.
For a start, what is the one thing you would happily cut off a finger to achieve?
It is an extraordinary proposition, but one in five people would happily lop off a digit if it meant they…???
I don’t mean to leave you in a state of feverish anticipation but I am afraid you will have to snap up your copy of The Courier if you want that particular blank to be filled in.
In other news we have the kind of boffin news you simply won’t want to live without.
That’s right just imagine how much worse your life will be if you don’t read the full story of the space scientists determined to grow lettuce. On Mars.
Phenomenal stuff.
And we don’t just offer intergalactic goodies.
What with it being the season of goodwill and many jolly japes, it is not unknown for people to enjoy a little tipple or two.
But how many have fallen foul of new drink drive laws?
Yip, sorry to be a damp squib but you really can’t quaff anything boozy before getting behind the wheel these days.
We crunch the latest sozzled driver stats.
As if that wasn’t enough (and I fully accept there will be those for whom it isn’t) we also have a four page review of the sporting year (we are looking back) and lashings of Dundee derby preview material (while also looking forward).
Wonderful stuff.
Don’t end the year on a crushingly miserable low, end it in the company of the officially the world’s best newspaper (unofficially). Please do ensure you pick up your copy. Failing that, why not end the year in an exciting fug of technological wizardry by trying our digital edition?
