One story you probably won't be reading much about in the Observer this Sunday: The ongoing row over Mayor Ken's 'Nazi jibe' and the whole should-he-shouldn't-he-apologise debate.
For one thing, the issue is becalmed while everyone involved in London's 2012 Olympic bid - including the mayor - pretends to play nicely for their IOC assessment this week. (Ken has said he'll make a statement next Tuesday).
But there is a growing fatigue in The Observer with the politics of apology: Blair and the Guildford 4, Boris and the Scouse millions. The Editor likes to point out that the whole enterprise of politicians saying sorry is flawed because the apologisee has no reason to believe in the good faith of the apologiser. If the trust were there, there probably wouldn't be any need to apologise in the first place.
But that hasn't stopped an outbreak of obsequious sorry-saying in the newsroom, stoked by Jay Rayner, Observer Food Critic and master of The Apologist website - a forum for the guilty to offload with anonymity.
The site also has the not so hidden agenda of plugging Jay's book. Sorry.
