It’s hammer time.
Actually, it isn’t.
It’s St Andrews time. We have more details on the astonishing revelation that the Fife town may actually be the birthplace of the modern clock NOT, repeat NOT, Greenwich.
Oof.
Quite a claim.
If it is to be believed we may all have an additional 12 minutes on our hands. Hurrah!
So what will you do with your extra 12 minutes (and more pertinently who will you do it with…)? We investigate.

The reason I quote the Big Yin is that he was performing in Perth on Wednesday night. We decided to see if he’s still got it. And you can find out in your side-splittingly funny Courier.

Ahh, WAGs. Lovely, lovely WAGs. We have details of a new calendar featuring the wives and girlfriends of Royal Marines, including some based in Arbroath. Saucy snaps, yes, but very tasteful all the same.
Meanwhile, look out your flux capacitor and get ready to hit 88mph, we are going Back to the Future (and not with the St Andrews story above either). We have news of the love of labour which has led to the creation of an immaculate De-Lorean. Great Scott.
Our political editor Kieran Andrews has had a jolly busy week down in Birmingham. He was at the Tory conference so it wasn’t all fun and games (if indeed a few days in Birmingham can be described thus). Read all his latest musings after David Cameron (the Prime Minister don’t you know) gave his flagship address.
The aforementioned stories represent a mere taste of what is to come in your Thursday Courier. Please do snap up your copy or, if you are feeling particularly adventurous, why not try our digital edition?
