Readers of a nervous disposition should look away now.
In Wednesday’s Courier we have the quite remarkable tale of the dog who shows every sign of making a full recovery (I’m getting the happy ending in first) following (almost) unspeakable trauma.
We hear how said dog a charming spaniel called Jess got a four inch stick (readers of a nervous disposition, this really is your last chance) lodged in its eye socket.
All the details, including astonishing pictures and a great interview with both vets and the dog’s owner, are included in our Wednesday edition.
Meanwhile, if you are scared of being burgled, don’t be. We have news on precisely how to ensure your valuables are never nicked.
I don’t want to give too much away but suffice to say it involves hiding them in a somewhat unusual place…
That’s right stick all your top-priced items in your bathroom.
Nonsense, you may think.
Far from it it’s all based on some top boffinry.
And while we are on the subject of boffinry, we also have details on the best way to lose weight.
It will take your breath away. Quite literally.
Yip, you’ve guessed it, breathing is the key to weight loss.
Interesting.
Although to be fair, you’d probably put even less weight on if you stopped altogether. Hard habit to kick though.
Are you getting a Nintendo Wii for Christmas?
If so, for goodness sake beware.
Nintendonitis is rife.
We reveal dozens of injuries related to game play from blistered thumbs to cases of Nintendo-related incontinence (I’m not joking) it is a truly incredible catalogue of illness and injury. It’s not called the Wii for nothing…
But fear not, regular breaks can cure all symptoms (specially the incontinence one).
Cartoons. Lots of kids love them, but are they really more violent than films for adults.
We hear from the experts (yet more boffinry) who claim they are “rife with death and destruction”, not to mention crammed with “endemic gore and carnage”.
We find out more.
And so can you if you snap up what really is shaping up to be the best ever newspaper in the history of the world (I don’t say that lightly). If you don’t hanker for print in this age of the information super-highway, why not try our digital edition. All tastes are catered for.
