There are not enough pubs with a jukebox any more. Nothing to do with social enterprise I know but they’ve recently done up a pub close to me and removed the jukebox and that was pretty much the only reason to go there. Yes, there are apps that you can use instead but it’s not the same. Anyway, this week’s edition has a painstakingly picked song to go with each news story. Timely as it’s a bank holiday weekend and a lot of you will be heading to the pub, the jukebox’s spiritual home.

Thank you for all your kind words on last week’s edition, which taught me that inventing fictional emails for comic purposes is a sure fire way to success. It also attracted a threat of being sued for defamation by my mother, and I’m pretty sure she was only half joking.

Hello! Lots of new subscribers to Have I Got Social Enterprise News For You, so welcome to you all. There’s a bit of a problem this week, however.

It’s been some week. Zayn left One Direction (I’d never heard of him before he did), a man was sacked for punching a colleague, a prospective prime minister went all Stone Cold Steve Austin and a 15th Century king was reburied in Leicester. Wowsers. You don’t get many weeks like that in a lifetime.  It doesn’t stop there though, as we’ve unearthed ten more sensational stories making headlines around the world. Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be quite a ride…

Alrighty! Today is International Happiness Day so I’m making an attempt to be extra chipper today. What is International Happiness Day?  Now in its third year, it’s a United Nations-backed campaign calling for happiness and well-being to be given greater priority when measuring global progress.  This year’s theme is around connecting with people, so I’d like to wish you a super Friday (which is always the happiest day anyway…)
