So there I was in Superdrug last Tuesday, queuing behind this woman buying about twenty packets of nose strips. Twenty! I am like, either she has the worst blackheads in the world, or she has discovered something I haven’t. Has me thinking about nasal strips for blackheads all over again. You know the things; they […]

Blimey, how do I even start with this one! I’ve been a huge fan of Strictly for as long as I can remember, so when I heard what did Wynne Evans say during the tour, I was properly taken aback. I mean, you know when someone you really quite liked suddenly turns out to be […]

So I’m watching the Champions League last Tuesday, you know? Laura Woods appears on screen looking sensational and a voice inside my head says, ‘Wait, didn’t she just have a baby?’ My wife turns to me and says, “She’s just had that child; how can she be back on TV already, presenting football? Mental.” That […]

The grand occasion took place on September 22, 2025, at Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris. The most elite individual award in football, the Ballon d’Or, was awarded to two greatest-ever legends: Ousmane Dembélé and Aitana Bonmatí. Both controlled the season of 2024–25. The ceremony was a testament to their magnificence and a change in the monopoly […]

All right, so there I am in my garden yesterday morning with this great coat because it’s September, yeah?  Literally ten minutes later I feel like a turkey at Christmas. My wife’s laughing at me from the kitchen window. “Take your coat off, you muppet,” she screams. This is Britain in September 2025. Nobody knows […]

Monday, 15th September 2025. The news broke as I was having my morning cuppa. Danny Kruger, the same Danny Kruger who had been the shadow work and pensions secretary until just hours earlier, was standing next to Nigel Farage as Farage declared himself finished with the Conservative Party. Completely done. I could not believe my […]

So I was talking to my mate Oscar the other day about who is acing things in Hollywood right now. In fact, we got downright heated about it. He reckons it’s all about the Marvel lot, but I reckon there’s more to it than that. The thing is, trying to figure out who the biggest […]

George has been my mate since school. Proper Scunthorpe lad, season ticket holder for twenty-odd years. When he rang me in May, I could barely make out what he was saying over the noise in the background. “We’ve done it!” he kept shouting. “We’re back up!” That was the moment Scunthorpe United beat Chester 2-1 […]

Last Thursday evening my mate Felix called, absolutely raging about his portfolio. “Have you seen what’s going on with Accenture?” he asked. “Ye gods, the share price has dropped again!” I hadn’t looked at the markets that day, but Felix’s freak-out made me wonder. Took a look at the charts and saw what he was […]

So there I was, watching comedy videos at 2 a.m. (don’t judge!), when I came across this woman doing stand-up. She was absolutely hilarious. Proper funny, not just celebrity-kid-trying-to-be-funny. Then the host said her last name. Tureaud. Wait, what? As in Mr. T? That’s when I found Erika Tureaud. And what kind of shock I […]
