Not unless it happened up Baxenden, or perhaps in front of Oakhill Park......now that would be a scoop!

I have seen one or two grizzlies in Ossy and the heat take their time to arrive at the scene. Sorry Eric but lets get The Observer on board instead of taking the p**s

Aw shucks ... thought that news from the colonies would be neat:hidewall:
 
A couple of years ago we had another journalist from the Observer, who was as a member of the forum, and if I recall he published some articles because of leads people had given him, so I wish you all the beat Lisa, and I look forward to reading your work, and maybe you'll get some scoops from Accy Web.:)

I think this might be the post that could have upset his lordship so, I have amended the quote which means exactly the same.
 
Just been reading the "Observer" on line .... it's not all that bad .... has much more local stuff in it than our city rag "The Kingston Whig-Standard" (know usually as the Sub-Standard." It seems like a good way of keeping up on what's happening in my old home town.
 
Being a good boy I asked her my question in a PM.


The ironic thing about online newspapers is they are blamed for the dwindling sale and ultimate end of paper newspapers. I personally suspect it is the paper copies that fund the online versions and if the paper copies disappear so will the online ones.

Seems to me the news stories on-line are often edited versions of the print edition , maybe its an age thing but I find myself printing out lengthy articles or book reviews of 3 or 4 pages or more . Seems to be a growth business in on-line book publishing , but can't for the life in me see how anyone can relax and read a book whilst sat in front of a PC moniter.

But some of us don't have the choice of home delivery of the "Observer". However, I do like the paper copy of the local rag ... it's a favorite ritual of mine: the first coffee of the day, the "Whig", and off to the flush.:theband:
