Coming up in Thursday’s Courier it’s all kicking off

Coming up in Thursday’s Courier  it’s all kicking off

Yikes.

Run for cover.

Some of the hardest hitting politicians of our generation came to Tayside on Wednesday and left with a flea in their ear.

Gordon Brown and Alistair Darling were somewhat upstaged by an angry heckler in Dundee. “Rubbish! Down with this sort of thing!” Along those lines.

Meanwhile, things also got a bit fruity for Jim Murphy as he visited locations including Carnoustie and Dundee. He may be touring 100 towns in 100 days, but the number of insults he racked up well exceeded the mere ton on Tayside.

If the referendum simply doesn’t float your boat, then we won’t ignore you. Far from it. Wouldn’t dream of it, in fact.

You may very well, for example, wish to hear from the bowling grandmother given a 30-year-ban after she slapped a fellow club member almost 35 years her junior. If it sounds like a harsh punishment that is quite simply because it is (so she claims anyway). You’ll be bowled over by the story.

If you fancy spending much of your day going “tsk tsk” then you can literally do no better than pick up your copy of The Courier. That’s not because it’s full of rubbish. No way. On the contrary it’s because it features the kind of stories that get tongues wagging. I’m thinking, really quite specifically, of the woman handed a parking fine after she stopped in a disabled bay outside a hospital just moments before giving birth. Madness gone mad or sensible policies for a happier Britain? You can decide for yourself.

Are you a parent? If so you will spend an uncommonly high proportion of your life worrying about your offspring. But what concerns the average parent most of all? Find out in your concerned (but at the same time hugely entertaining) Courier.

You’ll feel a fool if you miss your Thursday paper (and it’s not nice to feel a fool, believe me) so please do pick up your copy (and avoid said unpleasant failing as a consequence). Alternatively, why not try our digital edition?
