Colleagues past and present have been suggesting some of their favourite headlines for my list of all-time crackers (to appear on the blog soon). Old pal Peter Rowe (now in Australia) has also given me an idea for another theme - the cheeky, naughty and downright daft.
Not that I want to encourage these kind of things but...
Peter, when sports editor at the paper we worked on in Bradford, wrote a New Year's list of sporting predictions when he backed 'Norfolk N Chance' for the Grand National.
The Yorkshire Post once famously listed in its farming section, potato prices for King Edwards...and Mrs Simpsons.
And a cracker from Derby. Not sure if this was deliberate or just mad typing but an advert appeared in the Evening Telegraph for "Two storey cheetahs". I'll let you work it out.
Anymore, to serious matters...we broke the story on the website last night of the arrest of a suspect in connection with the abduction of a 15-year-old from Wrexham - the full story is published in the Daily Post print edition today (TUESDAY).
And more breaking news as I write - an explosion at a school in Wrexham. We'll put more details on the site as they come in and fully update the situation in the paper tomorrow.
The other big news in today's paper is the revelation that Bryn Terfel will be performing at our Thousands of Christmas Voices concert in Llangollen on December 10. The tickets went on sale today and the phone is ringing off the hook, so if you want to be there call 01492 574489 as soon as possible.
We've just had our morning conference to discuss tomorrow's paper - look out for the latest from the budget discussions at the Welsh Assembly.
We're aiming to find out what exactly is keeping the presiding officer Lord Dafydd Elis-Thomas so busy that he can't find the time to chair this very important debate. That means his deputy John Marek will have to chair the meeting - so he can't vote and, in such a delicately balanced chamber, that could have a huge impact.
Dr Marek and the peer are not pals at the moment - we certainly hope their
squabble will not interfere with the smooth running of democracy in Wales.
