Did you not hear????

Some terrorist was caught plotting to hijack a plane at Wick Airport & crash it into Ackergill Towers when some VIP was staying there....
Was caught pretending to be on a school project taking photos of planes, whilst carrying out a reconnaissance mission....

4 page spread in the Groat.

But that was the pull out supplement Alrock.....

In my opinion it would be the front page High Court report on the Prosecutions submission on the unsolved crime of 'who cut the branches off a tree in Robert Street'.....


Can't wait for Wednesdays Courier.....

I have just read mine from front to back while having my breakfast and I can assure you Fran, you have missed nothing.

If you are having withdrawal symptoms you can swing by today and have mine.

The sad news (for them) is that I snuck past the Groat's paparazzi without them even getting a whiff. :cool:
