I know we give Moffatt stick for his indulgences, far too many plots that involve suicide being the big answer and magic-princess fixations but blimey, The Wedding of River Song is an still absolute cracker of a finale.

Nothing, because they wouldn't invite me because I'm not friends with the people they get to recruit their "random" groups. If they're like the ones I used to do pretending to be someone else every few weeks for £20, that is. I presume they all are like that.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

If you had the time and inclination you could work out when I was working and when I wasn't by checking the days when _someone_ refused to cover that bloody case in the Scottish edition. One of the few things I was proud of in that job.
reporting tribunal cases like this remains genuine journalistic malpractice
