Angus Thompson is a journalist at Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper. He likes using print and digital media to embarrass himself in various ways and once hijacked the front page of mX to get a date for Valentines Day. It didn’t work. Angus has also written for the Australian, the Weekly Times, the Geelong Advertiser, and news wires AAP and Reuters. Having grown up in Sydney, he’s still coming to grips with AFL…and why the bars down here are so small.
