In one of the youtube comments underneath a Fist of Fun clip I watched earlier it simply said: ‘There just aren’t enough twats on Sunday television anymore.’ This prompted me to lea...

The other day I popped into the Haggerston for something other than a bloody Mary and a Chorizo heavy pizza. I popped in for some cultural enrichment. I popped in for some fantasy artwork. I popped i...
I’ve received some flipping good packages in my day. One had as many things packed into it that began with the letter ‘p’ as was possible, one had a signed Timmy Mallett t-shirt and...
Local celebrity status is a funny thing here in Newcastle. I say this because it seems that no matter how astronomically famous a local hero becomes, they never seem to lose an aura of approachabilit...

In 98 Days, 17hours and 11 minutes (at time of writing) London’s Paralympic Games will begin. As a homage to those games I have concocted a mega-list of the finest “para-musicians” of all time, in or...
Years go by, your stack of books gets bigger and bigger, the shelves get more and more clogged… but those first few books that got you into whatever you’re into, somehow, always remain at...
