All Because The Lady Loves Beanies Coffee

Something i heard a lot during my career is 'I don't watch the news anymore because it's so depressing' and i agree, a lot of the stuff in the news is wars, corruption, murders and lot's of other stuff that makes you just want to put your head in your hands and sigh for the stupid human race but it's not all awful, it's just that the worse things land and with the loudest thud.
I did consider an online 'Good News Newspaper' a while ago but it never got past the consideration stage for the same reason that art lessons, learning another language or a computer course never got past the 'that would be good' stage either, i couldn't be bothered.      
Since the Famous Dead People series ended, my co-writing friend has been loudly wondering what our next project should be and i just sort of hmmm'd and kept digging out the purple ones from the Quality Street tin and last night he text me with an idea which did have some merit, a Good News Online Newspaper.
As both of us have the computer skills of a house brick we went from creating an online newspaper to a blog and from him paying me a Billion Gazillion Pounds and everything mentioned in the Santa Baby Christmas Song to him keeping me in Beanies Flavoured Coffee if he found the stories and did all the posting bit and i wrote them up with all proceeds (if Newstex or any of those come onboard) to go to Charity.
Negotiations are still ongoing, the convertible, yacht and decorations from Tiffany's are proving a bit of a sticking point as is whether i really want to add another writing obligation to my day but i must admit i am interested as i also sometimes forget that admist all the bad, selfish people, there are others who do selfless, altruistic things who should recognised and besides, free Beanies Coffee...
