Oh dear, a steamroller got there first?
I saw a headline at BBC News today – on the Manchester page, so doubtless it reads differently to Mancunians. It read
Tributes to flat stabbing victim
Sorry, no offense to the departed, but you must admit…
Tip Jar
The sub-heading is:
“Tributes are paid to a man found stabbed to death in a flat in Bolton by his friend and brother.”
It turns out his friend and brother didn’t stab him to death as I initially thought.
Gee – whoever wrote that needs some refresher lessons in how not to write booby-trapped journalism-type stuff.
On a lighter note, Salman Rushdie finished a novel today. Writing one, that is.
Terry Eagleton has also been writing, and it matches the standard of his previous output.

Yes, but Eagleton needs some refresher lessons in thinking too.
It probably does read differently to us.
To whom?
To us and our kid
“The agnosticism peddled by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens .. “
What agnosticism? I thought both these writers have taken pains to distance themselves from agnosticism.
