Boffins have spent years quite literally monkeying around.
And they have come to the conclusion that when a chimp nibbles a leaf he is, quite unambiguously, telling potential mates he is “up for it”.
It is among the startling facts contained in a new lexicon billed as the world’s first chimpanzee dictionary.
And the best news of all?
The boffins are ours, hailing, as they do, from St Andrews. Hurrah.
We have all the latest on this in Saturday’s super-soarway edition.
Meanwhile, if I list the following:
The Queen
The PM
Alex Salmond
Ed Miliband
Gordon Brown
Alistair Carmichael
Kieran Andrews
what would you think?
I suspect the answer would be:
(a) they are all jolly important, and
(b) why is the Courier political editor Kieran Andrews spending his time with such types?
All will be revealed in Saturday’s Courier (though you may well have already guessed it’s aircraft carrier related).
Ahh tea and a good show on the box.
Could you live without tea and TV? Most of us would apparently struggle. Find out which other staples we simply can’t cope without in our weekend extravaganza.
We also have all the latest as lots of people trotted around Perthshire while carrying a chunk of metal.
Said chunk was passed about, much to the delight of admiring onlookers. Lovely stuff.
All that, and the World Cup is back. Back, I tell you.
It has only been away for two days but it’s felt like a lifetime. Catch up with all the latest in your sporting Courier.
For all these stories and (almost but not strictly literally) countless others, please do pick up Saturday’s Courier. Failing that I once again find myself asking, why not try our digital edition? I know I have asked countless (almost but not strictly literally) times before but I am determined to keep doing so until somebody, somewhere provides me with a satisfactory answer…
