Just filed last story of an interesting Sunday shift, 3 hours in Blocko, borderline banter/threatening behaviour in a pub whilst filing copy. I will argue to the death the Black Country is the best news patch in the country, because of fellas like Keith dailymotion.com/video/x9rcang
Filing copy from a Bloxwich pub where the patrons are smashed and singing to back to back @PaoloNutini
Ohh Radio 4 Any Questions are in Stourbridge tonight..
expressandstar.com/news/2025/09/1… Another top tale brought to you by the cops @StaffsRCT - as a journalist when the CHIPS (get it) are down they will tweet gold...
Wow Zepbound sleep apnea pills has the longest list of possible side effects I've seen, it starts with the obvious "do not take if allergic to it" and ends with phone the doctor if your neck explodes
expressandstar.com/news/2025/09/0… My pick of courtroom dramas and comedies - needless to say "YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH" is not top of the tree when you've Omar Little and General Melchett on the list.
"A violent Walsall prostitute with over 100 previous convictions told emergency workers her phlegm was full of AIDS before flobbing in their faces." Where do we stand on the word "flobbing" folks?
expressandstar.com/news/2025/09/0… "You Can't Handle The Truth..." "Before we get down to sentencing the deceased, oh, sorry, the defendant" And Tony Blair backing Free The Weatherfield One campaign “It is clear to anyone with eyes in their head she is innocent and she should be freed.”
Megaloz..
The juror who thinks it "should be someone's job" to decide a defendants fate proved fears juries are getting stupider. She probably thinks Magna Carta is a protein drink.... expressandstar.com/news/2025/09/0…
New Stourbridge Turkish restaurant closed on a Saturday evening...... Only opened a couple of months ago. I asked the owners if I could do a story about them and they were incredibly rude. Hospitality is hard enough if your friendly...
Bloody hell. 247 journalists have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war. 247, I wouldn't even have thought there was 247 journalists in Gaza. The Syrian Assad govt were first to ignore UN convention and kill reporters when they could, and Israel seem to have followed.
@elaina95050 Thank you. It was a team effort and you played your role in making sure two guests took part and the rest is history. Thanks to @AdamLocal for covering this session and @DESJADDOO & I, have now moved to having our own cabinets, mobile pouch kit too, thanks to @FESFirefighter ❤️
expressandstar.com/news/crime/202… Wise-cracking Walsall burglar silenced by judge for singing Madness hit It Must Be Love after admitting axe crime Was the defendant wearing Baggy Trousers? @MadnessNews
expressandstar.com/news/crime/202… Funny you should say that.
expressandstar.com/news/crime/202… Funny you should say that.
plus.expressandstar.com/news/2025/08/1… Not just @WMPDogs who love their dogs, this fella is defending himself for justice for his beloved pooch, which was deemed an illegal XL Bully, he says she wasnt it, but try as she might the judge couldnt get through thats not point of the case..
plus.expressandstar.com/news/2025/08/1… Gotta love Police Dog Kane from @WMPDogs - I toyed with using a reference about Lassie - "what's that mate, there is a man down the mine" but how many of our readers, under 40 would even know who Lassie was?
