If you are passing the Hope and Anchor Tavern, 65 Macquarie Street, Hobart TAS 7000, TONIGHT, Thursday, December 18, 6pm onwards, DROP IN … and join the Island and Tassietimes’ workers for an ale, or an OJ or even a sparkling mineral water. Tis the season to be jolly … and the time to announce the 2014 TT Tasmanian of the Year …
• Gwenda, in Comments: ’ll raise my glass to TT in absentia, in recognition of the compulsive and sometimes maddening reads offered up over the year. Thanks to all the thoughtful, incisive and stimulating writers (you know who you are) – and compliments of the season to the rest of you. My nomination for TT Tasmanian of 2014 is Richard Flanagan for his remarks on giving away his prize money (apparently one was enough?) and for getting Lindsay on ABC TV!
