Saturday’s are all about f-u-n. Which spells fun.
We know that. And, lest you be in any doubt at this stage, so will you by the time you have finished perusing our wonderful weekend Courier.
For a start we have once again descended on the lush, lush greens of Gleneagles (small but important point we didn’t actually step on to the greens. That would be very much frowned upon and could even have results in us being forcefully ejected from the premises).
After a week of fooling around, taking cheap shots (both on and off the course) players at the Ryder Cup finally got the real action underway.
The galleries were huge. Among those swelling the numbers were our men Steve Scott (golf expert), Eric Nicolson (general sports expert) and Richard Burdge (just an expert). They all have their say on the first day’s action. Every man jack of them. Every angle is covered for your reading pleasure.
Are ye dancin’?
If yer askin’, ehm dancin.
Or indeed singing.
Friday night saw a titanic televisual tussle as perennial favourites Strictly Come Dancing and the X Factor went head to head. BBC v ITV at its very best. Oh and that Gogglebox thing was on Channel 4 as well. What a night.
In the headline (see above) that precedes this short collection of carefully-chosen words I mentioned boffins. Not just one boffin, but an assortment thereof (again, see above).
I will now make good on that promise by revealing details of the no fewer than FOUR boffin-related tales guaranteed to spice up your Saturday.
They are as follows:
(a) boffin at the very top of NASA is coming to St Andrews. To talk about Mars no less
(b) boffins welcome a bumper Perthshire crop of a new cancer-beating berry. Which also tastes nice. It really is a super super-food
(c) boffins warn people about a new computer virus. It’s called Shellshock, Which is scary in itself
(d) boffins outline plans to use 3D printers to fix some important local artefacts
That, by my reckoning, adds up the aforementioned four pieces of top boffin news I promised (see above). Great stuff.
Right now you are probably saying (either out loud or to yourself) something along the lines of: “that sounds like a really good read. I’m quite looking forward to it”. I understand that. And you are quite right to so do. Hold on to that thought and then please do be sure to pick up Saturday’s Courier. Failing that, why not give our supersonic digital edition a whirl?
