I think Dick Everyman's suggestion about playing with the dogs' arses should be in there somewhere, and maybe breaking up the quotes a bit by converting some of them to narrative would make it read more like a news story. But that's being picky, stars from me. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=57707#post-167423 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:12:18 +0000 Bob 167423@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Squudge, tis done. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=57707#post-167421 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:02:15 +0000 Squudge 167421@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>you could just lose 'The somewhat rambling blog article continued, '<br /> from that penultimate para.
