Here is a picture of the front page news on the Newcastle Herald today, June 3rd. Interesting isn't it? (NOT!). What's happening in your part of the world? - Please show me a picture of the front page of your local papers - it has to be more interesting than this....
In my boredom I discovered a quick quiz entitled Australian Slang Quiz 1 from ESL Quiz Center (US spelling). How good are you at interpreting the language? Be warned off straying into "Kev's Down Under Dictionary" - some of the contents are a bit strong.
I got five out of 8. (Apparently "meow" is not an Australian greeting.)
I actually don't read newspapers and have no idea what is going on in Oregon.

Oh dear. If I looked at the local telegraph and Argus(!) I'm sure it would be more of the same trite trash. It's hard not to feel hopeless about the state of the media sometimes.
