Tom Dodds on transport matters »What with Northern Rock, the credit crunch, the floods and Newcastle United, it's been a pretty depressing few months. Just when you think things are going to get better, a dead whale washes up on the beach.
Every day at The Journal we go into conference - where we discuss the stories of the day - and share more bad news: people being laid off, energy prices going up, the value of your house is going down and so on and so on.
At this morning's conference there was more of the same and we discussed whether we could do a story with some reasons to be cheerful. We all agreed that we should...then couldn't think of any.
After bringing together some of the finest minds in the newsroom we've got a couple (Durham Cricket Club being in with a chance of winning the County Championship, the resemblance we've noticed between David Miliband and Bart Simpson's friend Milhouse) but we've now set ourselves an ambitious target of getting 50.
If you can think of good things happening in the world, please let us know and we'll print the best ones in Saturday's paper.
