    "Dad of two found with loaded bazooka"

    I am referring to a similar styled headling in today's edition.
    I have seen this a few times in the Indo; why is it dad, rather than man?
    We are talking about serious criminality here.

    There are very few actual journalists left in Indo Towers... the digital section is populated mainly by early-20s 'Here's the Top 10 Pizza toppings of 2016' types... keep your expectancy levels low when you log on.

    It's great for keeping up with celebrities, though. Only for it, I would never have known that Kelly McDonagh has had something called "a makeunder"
