Hidden gems
This week's Gazette is starting to take shape as we head into another busy day.
At the moment we have no obvious splash for the main Uxbridge edition but there are several irons in the fire which hopefully will develop as the day moves on. There is one story in particular which could be a real cracker if we can pull it off (I will keep you updated).
As expected we have received plenty of feedback from last week's story on the massive pay increases for senior Hillingdon councillors and the letters continue to flood in on the decision to close the outdoor activity centre used by local school children.
I am not sure we can top last week's story on the club which places bets on which member is going to die next but, we do have a fascinating feature on the borough's hidden historical gems which have been discovered by archivists.
This week we annouce the judges' verdict in our Top Toddler Competition and you can also find out how you can vote for your own favourite child.
I went to a friend's 50th birthday bash yesterday which was hugely enjoyable.
As the wine started to flow over the roast beef the main topic of conversation was another miserable performance by the England football team the previous night.
Everybody had their own opinion on who should be playing and the best formation but, the simple facts are that despite the millions of pounds of talent on display once again the team is proving a huge letdown.
It appears I had a lucky escape by not watching the match - at least that way you don't end up being disappointed if you are an England fan!

Why did your friend pour wine over his roast beef? I find gravy usually does the trick.

It was meant tongue in cheek - but it may have been because he had drunk too much! Anyway red wine gravy is very tasty with roast beef...
