Once upon a time, everyone used to get socks for Christmas, and everyone used to give socks for Christmas.

It’s just a few days into the advent calendar, but Christmas fever has already taken over. The lights are up, the fake snow machine is pumping out white flakes and Cliff Richard has begun infiltrating the airwaves.

Johnny Mac, sounds like he could be a type of hamburger at a fast food outlet, actually American former World No.1 tennis champion. He had artistry with a racquet and a lovely volley, but … Read more
I understand that there’s a point in life when you really shouldn’t be reading children’s literature, but Dallas Clayton’s ‘An Awesome Book’ is so….erm….awesome, that I’d be happy to see sharp business men and brain surgeons alike carrying a copy proudly under their arm, and reading it whilst they commute to work/stop for a coffee/wait … Read more
