    That's a Pulitzer Prize-winning effort compared to some of the other stories that journalist has contributed to the Indo.

    To be fair, it must be a PITA to work for a newspaper like the indo, and then get lumped with the bottom of the barrel stories, even by their standards. I doubt the journalist in question hand-picked this non incident as her showcase story.

    Yes, quite - it's the editor that's responsible for the celebs and animals brief.

    Nothing wrong with that journo's writing really, although I did bristle a bit at "Dad-of-two Declan".

    Yeah I know, and well done for being such a clever clogs.

    But I see a difference between my post which was highlighting the type of **** that makes it to the Indo headlines, and the story itself. See what I mean?
