    The thing I like about these roundups of UK news is that your news varies so much from ours. It really interesting!

    Thanks Deb, Im pleased that you like it.

    Of course, not only showing how different they are, I guess it also shows how similar news around the world can also be. For example, the big world story today is 'Karadzic in first appearance at the Hague'. Ive seen that story featured on loads of news sites today, from ABC, in the US and Australia, to Al Jazeera and CBC, its everywhere !

    Even Drudge was featuring the story about the Sheikh who flew his Lamborghini to Britain for an oil change !

    Its all good fun ...
