#THISWEEK // Our Top Ten Stories – 30 June 2017

Can you believe it’s the end of the Financial Year? We can, because our accountant keeps calling the office up, threatening to kill us. Is it OUR fault that we claim every bottle of tequila as a tax deduction? In our defense: we were drunk! So drunk in fact, we started a magazine about rock music. Hey, it was a good idea at the time. Anyway, here’s our TOP TEN stories you may have missed this week!
