I think like most names though, it's much better without a y. <BR/><BR/>Yes, our newspaper is very local focused, lots of stories of dance competitions and the under-13s soccer with some commentary on parking costs (some places have been upped to 20c an hour - bloody outrage!). Thus, every one has a very good chance of their hour and a half of fame. Jenny, it probably burns better for the same reason we need kindling to start a fire: the slight burns quicker than the weighty. <BR/><BR/> The thing I love about "one hurt" is the choice of "hurt", which suggests a stubbed toe, rather than the more traditional "injured", which is a far more serious outcome.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14346897774489967919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-63294332878690468682007-12-07T07:10:00.000+11:002007-12-07T07:10:00.000+11:00Local news... the thrill of it all!Local news... the thrill of it all!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-76858933117229750322007-12-06T21:38:00.000+11:002007-12-06T21:38:00.000+11:00My eldest was going to be Caitlin if he was a girl...My eldest was going to be Caitlin if he was a girl. At that stage the only Caitlin I'd ever heard of was Elvis Costello's wife. And I LOVED the name, sooo unusual and celtic and pretty etc etc.<BR/><BR/>A few years later I heard a very raucous accent in the chips and soft drink aisle at Coles shrieking 'Kaayitlynn come 'ere' and I quietly said a prayer of thanks that I'd had a boy.Susehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837796439737091649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-65267057978039024162007-12-06T18:08:00.000+11:002007-12-06T18:08:00.000+11:00When I was in hospital after the birth of my first...When I was in hospital after the birth of my first child I listened to my hospital room mate organise the newspaper birth notice. Her child had quite a simple name with ,I thought, only five letters. By the time she had finished spelling it there were only a few letters of the alphabet left.<BR/> We rarely get the paper, only about every second Saturday but it is much better for lighting the fire than the broadsheets for some reason.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06659929017085133209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3123235165783760852.post-65094387649572145092007-12-06T14:39:00.000+11:002007-12-06T14:39:00.000+11:00It's high end journalism isn't it?!!
