And if so, can our two stock images that we have used over a very long journey as we’ve tried our best to educate sub-editors at The Sydney Morning Herald on how to count pages be stored away for ever?

We refer, of course, to this one …

.. and this one!

Why are we so hopeful? And have we been premature in cleaning out the various grog fridges at The Bug‘s HQ in joyous celebration overnight?

Take look at these two graphics and tell us what you see!

We know, BUGgers, we know! With today’s (Thursday’s) edition of the SMH having a Hardly Normal adverting wraparound, we assume two subs (we’re going to say two because it makes our victory even sweeter) had two stories continued over from the fake SMH cover as coming from PAGE THREE, because that’s where it fucking well came from! Not page 1! Not the front page! Not the cover page.

We at the MGH can’t remember the last time a Wednesday night subbing shift faced with a wraparound got that RIGHT! So you can understand the shock currently being experienced by the bitter, washed-up, old hacks to compile this column. Some are still unconscious on the floor; others are waiting at the door for a local early opener to turn up with a fresh carton of Bundy Rum!

Let’s be honest. Our education campaign took a big hit last weekend when the Friday night shift – who generally know what they’re doing – fucked up big-time too.

Time to get on the same page!

So, has the battle finally been won? To be on the safe side, we might give it another week.
