My Saturday morning ritual? Shebhan Aherne on talkSPORT, a cup of tea and a bacon sandwich. Have been listening to her forever now, and I still can’t get over how good she is at this job. But anyway, got me thinking and all; who is this woman really? You know that Scottish accent from those […]
Right, let’s be honest here. When the average footballer retires, they either disappear or you can find them on Sky Sports looking uncomfortable in a suit, spouting the same boring clichés. Not Ally McCoist. Oh no. This mad Scottish genius may actually be even more entertaining since he stopped scoring goals. I was listening to […]
Okay, so I found myself in London traffic last month, complaining as usual about how busy it is, when my mate Tom hit me with the old cliché that “London’s not even close to being the largest city in the world. Proper wound me up, that did. Before that moment, I had always believed that […]
Jay Slater’s disappearance and tragic death rattled people not just in the UK but all over. A holiday meant for fun somehow spiraled into a nightmare, raising tough questions about festival safety, risky hikes, and how quickly things can go wrong. So here’s the deal—we’ll walk through what happened, the key dates, the official findings, […]
So, yesterday, I was standing in Tesco at 5:47pm. Again. As the kids whine in the trolley, I have precisely twenty-three minutes before I need to pick up Tommy from football practice, and I’m looking at the pre-made meals, thinking, ‘There has to be a better way.’ To tell you the truth, this happens every […]
My dad rang me last Sunday night, buzzing about the SAS Rogue Heroes season 2 finale. He says, “They can’t leave it there, can they?” I had just finished watching it myself, and honestly, I was contemplating the same idea. The good news? Steven Knight’s already confirmed there’s more coming. The bad news? We’re going […]
My sister Charlotte purchased her first pair of Fairfax and Favor boots three years ago. Regina boots, the standard ones everyone bangs on about. (which cost her nearly £300, which felt mental to me at the time). “They’re an investment,” she persisted, displaying them at Sunday lunch. “Proper British boots. These’ll last forever.” I laughed. […]
Let me tell you when I first learned what a solution bank even was. There was I, sitting in my bedroom at 11.30 on a Sunday night, having a full-scale meltdown about question 7c in chapter four of my Edexcel Pure Year 1 textbook. The answer on the back of the book was “5x + […]
Now, how do I even begin with this? I’ve been watching football for 30-odd years and I can’t remember a transfer saga like the Alexander Isak Liverpool transfer news that dominated this summer! Absolute madness from start to finish. My mate called me at half past ten on Sunday night. “They’ve done it,” he said. […]
My neighbour Sharon was round for coffee last week, moaning about her teenager wanting to be an influencer. “Whatever happened to proper careers?” she said. Got me thinking about Lucy Bolam, actually. Most people have never heard of her. Which is mad, considering her dad is James Bolam, you know, Terry from The Likely Lads. […]
Kodi Capri Gaulden is only a toddler, yet her name has spread widely across social media and hip-hop fan clubs. Born under the spotlight on November 26, 2020, Kodi is the child of best-charting rapper NBA YoungBoy (Kentrell DeSean Gaulden) and social media personality Drea Symone. Kodi has already caught the public eye at a […]
While my neighbour Steve still hauls that humongous Henry up and down stairs every Saturday morning. Watching him wrestle with that thing does my head in. Finally, last week I asked him, “Why don’t you just get a cordless vacuum?” His answer? “They’re all rubbish, aren’t they?” Wrong, Steve. Dead wrong. I’ve been testing vacuum […]
