am I missing something?

I quote Roger Franklin, writing in that most esteemed journal, the Herald Sun:

MELBURNIANS live in an age of wonders, there can be no doubt about that now EastLink is up and running.
Source: Eastlink offers stress free alternative

Sorry? Did I miss something? I was one of the hordes of people shuffling up the new freeway yesterday, having a gander, but I most definitely missed the “wonders”; perhaps I was too busy dodging the traffic and laughing at the signs imploring me to “slow down”.

Ha bloody ha.

I’m also a bit confused about the story on the front page of the paper, about Graham Polak being hit by a tram. I’m not confused about the tram or anything, and I’m sure it’s pretty upsetting for him and his family. I’m just not sure why it takes up the entire cover.

I mean, who is he? Is he a nobel prize-winner? A great humanitarian? Is he even a particularly good footballer?

I’ve never heard of him before.

Running
A couple of laps of the tan this lunch-time.

    I thought the same thing too … it certainly wouldn’t have been front page news if he wasn’t a footy player.

    I didn’t even get to read a paper, let alone look at the front page!
