Tumbleweed Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 just heard on 702. cyclist knocked down on christiaan de wet.
Tumbleweed Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 nope. i got one of reporters to check, but our morning staff are pretty useless. will post when i know more.
Tumbleweed Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 then thank goodness it wasn't you, no-named one!
Canaris Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 HR, are you on the morning shift today?How is the copy, readable?
Tumbleweed Posted May 19, 2008 Author Posted May 19, 2008 i am indeed. the copy has required me to development a keen understanding of swahili, jabberwocky and klingon. no, it's shocking. requires tons of panelbeating, cutting, rewriting?oh, the woeful tale of a copytaster?
Canaris Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 the youth just cannot write today, and no sense of history or world events
Evan Andreou Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 According to 702 traffic it was a fatality. d@mn
