I'm helping The Hussy to compile a weekly newsletter. I'll forgive you for thinking such things are usually the stuff of parishes. Church socials and that sort of thing.

Hopefully our efforts will be slightly more compelling, each week we base the contents round a theme and then charge ahead and big up or slag off whatever happens to be going on, and fits in with that theme. Last week's was pyromania (that was tough one to compile) because of Bonfire Night, this week's is trash because the bin men are on strike. You see? Topical.

If you'd like to subscribe (and if you ain't local, then I completely understand why you wouldn't) then you can go here. There is also a modest amount of free stuff to be won every week, which you can always dangle in front of enthusiastic E-Bay bidders if you can't find use for it yourself.

I thank you.
