    Ewan, I *hope* this came in through a feed or the like, and you weren’t randomly browsing the New Straights Times on the off chance you’d see a story on SMS ;)

    I have it on good authority that Ewan has it on subscription and delivered daily to the 99th floor of his penthouse suite in London. I quite like the newspaper too, my cats enjoy going to the loo on such high quality news stories ;)
