A couple of headlines have tickled the fancy of allmediascotland.com readers these last few days, the first in yesterday's edition of The Scotsman, accompanying a story about a programme cutback being faced by the organisers of the Edinburgh Hogmanay Festival. It reads: 'Auld Short Syne: Hogmanay Cut to Save Cash'.
Meanwhile, for another reader, it was the Daily Record's 'Long in the Woof' which raised a laugh, accompany a tale about a dog continuing to be taken out for hour-long walks despite being, in dog years, 160 years old.
