an excess of good news

IT'S not all doom and gloom out there, you know.

Despite it all, there are several reasons to be cheerful.*

n ONE. The royal baby-in-waiting. In case you missed the news, Pippa Middleton's slightly less-well-known sister Kate is expecting. The announcement immediately made headlines across the world. Within hours, we had our first royal-babies-down-the-ages picture quiz in a national newspaper website. Expect much, more of the same – special souvenir supplements, commemorative tea-towels, round-the-clock coverage on Sky. First the wedding, then the jubilee, now this. It's very good of the royals to take our minds off our economic woes.
