08/06/2013 EDITOR RETURNS TO LIVE PERFORMANCES: Sinpusher needed a bass player and picked on the Editor to do it. Last night was the first gig. You wouldn't think a four peice band with a combined age of two hundred and two playing at a twenty first birthday party was a winning formula. It was. There was much loud music and dancing. The only downside was the free beer ....... I was driving! |

Andy (who wishes to remain nameless) has got himself a job in New Zealand and emigrates on Thursday. The Editor and Staff would like to wish Nameless Andy good luck in his new life down-under. The same goes for all the nameless family, who will follow soon. |

SPORT WELL DONE PORT VALE It seems a while ago now, but Vale stumbled to an automatic promotion spot. No sooner than they done this, one of the directors resigned. Nothing is simple in Burslem! SACKED IN THE MORNING Stoke fans were always divided over Tony Pulis. Then he was sacked. Now fans are divided over Mark Hughes! Will we wish TP was still here come Christmas? Time will tell. |
