Yo! Yo! Yo! News Network coming at ya........all the way from Valencia, Spain. As this is my first entry I feel some sort of introduction is necessary. Firstly, there's my team - a group of dedicated professionals who live for their work and work to live every day. A team unlike any other, we shall be covering local stories from our region in Spain, as well as national and international events and happenings that arouse our interest. Our unique perspective gives us views unlike any other and we shall be exploring a wide variety of issues, news and events as they happen.
Without further ado let me introduce myself. You can call me the Boss, and I'm the Boss for one very good reason - I'm bigger than the rest of the team, so they bow to the inevitable and accept their assignments with the bare minimum of whining and the maximum of haste.....and I have to say, it's all done in the best possible taste, but then with a team like mine behind me one would be hard pushed to see it any other way.
So, I'm the Boss and Editor-in-Chief, and, even if I say so myself, a better looking one you'd be hard pushed to find!
Music and Beauty Correspondent, and a lovely little mover to-boot .......Dijon Dudette.
Lifestyle guru and all round good egg........Survivor Selfie.
And last but not least, our Travel Correspondent and Local News Head honcho .........Mini the Moocher.
We shall meet all of them individually soon enough, so don't go anywhere because it's lift off for News Network.
The Team....signing off.

Posting a first blog entry on the day 12 people at 'Charlie Hebdo (#CharlieHebdo)' got murdered in Paris gives one time to pause....the world carries on, much as before, my blog will be published, along with millions of others today, but for those journo's there will be no next entry, no next report or story and I cannot let it pass without comment. As yet there seems to be no clear idea of who perpetrated these cowardly, despicable crimes. French Police say they are looking 3 gunman who managed to escape in a hijacked car, but since this appears to be a highly organised, well-funded attack, the extent and depth of the network behind the gunman may well mean that there are many more than the 3 people sought that can be held responsible.
Since no claims of responsibility have yet been made the authorities and media appear to be treating this as an Islamic extremist attack. My Dad is not a religious person. My Mum neither. But when they got married, Dad converted to Islam because Mum's family are Muslim and they take their religion very seriously. Hence it became important to understand and appreciate the basics of the Muslim religion in order to do and say the right things whilst undergoing conversion and getting married. The 3rd (the Zakat) of the 5 basic tenets, or Pillars, of Islam states that every Muslim should 'help the needy' and should give at least 2.5% of their income each year to good and charitable causes, and one cannot help wondering that, if these fuckers do indeed turn out to be Muslims, that their sad, misguided, tragic and ill-informed notions of the message the Koran contains will mean that these murderers will not be passing through the gates of Heaven. Islam is a peaceful religion that encourages selflessness, reflection and love and I find it hard to believe that anyone can be so gullible or just plain stupid enough, that they can kid themselves into thinking that murdering in cold blood would be acceptable behaviour to their God and that he would welcome them into paradise as conquering heroes. Their self-delusion is complete. Their insanity unopposed.
I hope they get what they deserve.
