THE FRIDAY DAILY
So what’s been happening this week?
Oh you know, not much.
BILL HUNTER died, that was sad. And Europe’s most wanted (alleged) war criminal former Serbian army chief RATKO MLADIC was arrested. OPRAH did her last week of shows. KIM KARDASHIAN got engaged. NSW lost at sport, but didn’t loose bad enough for it to be completely embarrassing. Australia’s Got Plagerism. OBAMA played a mean game of table tennis. Danish Ambassadors revealed that vegemite is an illegal product in Denmark. And SCARLETT JOHANSSON has revealed she’s going to loose her last bastion of fans by releasing another album. Why SCARLETT, why?
But the top story of the week, has been the race to find the new chief of the International Monetary Fund (the IMF).
