I would just like to say happy to all the lovely ladies out there. This is a global day connecting all women around the world and inspiring them to achieve their full potential. For my part, it is I that will be doing the washing up tonight. You're welcome m'darling.

A injured in a fight is finding it difficult to eat - however the report goes on that her weight has increased since the incident. What better proof that both calorie intake and exercise contribute to weight control?

So, . Does this headline qualify for things we knew this time last week?

Ah, deja vu - Paper Monitor makes reference to having one’s colours done. This conclusively proves that Paper Monitor a) was of an age to care about his/her appearance in the 1980s, when working out whether you had spring, summer, autumn or winter colouring was popular or b) has a mother, for it is they who typically harangue their black-clad offspring about how peachy orange or lime green would be far more suitable.

Rather than saying you don't care what someone's baby did, you should count your blessings that you don't share an office with the owner of two horses, who insists on regaling you with all the latest equine musings.
