Greetings, dear reader, and welcome to this new SAP feature, Weekend Report. Here, we gather together the very best news reports, commentary and events from the past week and present them in a digest format, for your own perusal.
This feature will be appearing on a weekly basis, and will unapologetically take the format of my Beloved Friend, ripped off wholesale, and duplicated here much like a fake Rolex.
So, grab your coffee, or other legal stimulant, and consider yourself welcomed. We’re glad you dropped by.
