It's News day...er Saturday today. Not a regular feature, at least for the day -- but the need to continue to comment on current affairs is going to be more common.
Bird flu testing keeps labs open
All eight of Scotland's laboratories that can test for bird flu are to open over the weekend to help meet the rise in referrals of dead birds.
The good news so far is that apparently further tests on other dead birds have come back negative. Call me a pessimist, but I don't expect it to last. I don't know what will become of bird flu, whether it will ever mutate to spread between people, but at the very least I think it will be a disastrous for our wildlife. At this point, only time will tell what's going to happen.
Silence on Harry lap dance claims
Clarence House has refused to comment on newspaper reports claiming Prince Harry went to a lap dancing club.
I have to say, I am morally outraged at the shocking news that the 21 year old went to a lap dancing club with some friends, and turned down a lap dance. His behaviour is disgraceful -- I mean turning down a dance, she could be a future princess. Except of course she wouldn't be, because she would have to be in some way related to him to begin with.
UKIP parks tank at Tory meeting
The UK Independence Party parked an armoured personnel carrier outside the Conservative Party's spring conference in Manchester.
Seemingly oblivious to the meaning of irony, the party take offence at being called "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists" by the Conservative leader, and attempt to prove him wrong by turning up in a tank, and then demanding an apology. That sounds perfectly reasonable...
You can take the boy out of journalism...
