Yesterday I got the news that The Forum Music Centre is to close at the end of August. From what I can gather, previously agreed council funding has been pulled which, in turn, has put the skids on a second grant from One North East.

Last night a car carrying Nelson Mandela’s 13-year-old great-granddaughter, Zenani, crashed while taking her home from a concert. Zenani was tragically killed and the driver arrested on drink-driving charges. As a result the already-frail Mandela decided not to attend the World Cup Open Ceremony.
So, what do the Daily Mail comment monkeys think of this?
