PERTH — With news arriving from around the world, a fictional Perth man named Alastair says he has “felt all of it”.

“I felt the Brazilian election in my knee,” he said. “I felt Bulgaria in my elbow. And on Sunday night I felt something in Fife. It might have been a bin landing.”

Scientists say there is no evidence Alastair can feel global events, but admit his knee did correctly predict Storm Chloe.

The real story: Fictional.
