Hello and welcome to Issue 31 of The Third Slip, Slippers. We did some sole-searching and decided that the name is Slippers is here to stay. Get a grip on yourself, time will heel all wounds. So, strap in. 31 is that magical age when you discover that like your male relatives, you will have hair sprouting on random parts of your body (why do you need hair on the side of your ears? Stupid mother nature!), so forgive us if this issue has some extra unpalatable trimmings here and there. We are yet to invest in a quality trimmer (Is it called editor?). Enough of this discussion about hair and feet, let’s get on with the news beat.
