A police presence remains in place at the Iceland and B and M car park just off Farnham Road. Officers were called to the Montrose Avenue car park during the afternoon. A forensics tent was erected and a police cordon put in place. Photos and feedback from the scene show an almost completely empty car park with a significant police presence. NASA may delay its mission to send astronauts to […]
If you grew up in the ‘80s or ‘90s, Friday wasn’t just a day on the calendar—it was a physiological shift. It started the moment you woke up. There was a specific frequency in the air, a collective exhale that peaked at exactly 5:00 PM (or 4:30 PM if your boss was "cool"). For Gen X, the "Friday Feeling" was a cultural institution. But as we navigate a world of […]
Donald Trump says he has a back up plan to keep tariffs in place despite a Supreme Court ruling against him. He told reporters he does not need to ask Congress for tariffs. He said that, effective immediately, all national security tariffs will remain in place, fully in force and effect. He added that he will sign an order today to impose a 10 percent global tariff under section 122, […]
If you grew up with a rotary phone and the smell of a fresh Scholastic book fair, you remember exactly where you were when the world changed. It wasn’t a political election or a moon landing—it was a neon-pink logo and a grain of static that cleared to reveal The Buggles declaring that "Video Killed the Radio Star." For Gen X, MTV wasn't just a channel; it was a 24-hour […]
The UK has not agreed to allow the United States to launch air strikes against Iran from British bases on Diego Garcia or at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire. The Times reports permission has not been granted. The newspaper claims that as a result of the UK’s position, Donald Trump has withdrawn support for a deal struck by Sir Keir Starmer to hand the Chagos Islands, including Diego Garcia, to Mauritius. […]
There was a time when the clock dictated everything. You’d hear the school bell, pack up at work, or finish tea at lightning speed because you knew exactly what was coming on the telly and you were not missing it. No catch-up. No streaming. If you weren’t in front of the TV at the right time, that was it. You had to wait for the repeat… if there even was […]
The UK government has proposed new rules requiring technology firms to remove abusive images from their platforms within 48 hours or face being blocked. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said companies are "on notice" to take down non-consensual intimate images, leaving "no stone unturned" to protect women and girls. Firms failing to comply could be fined 10% of qualifying worldwide revenue, potentially amounting to billions of pounds, or have their […]
Before streaming, before skipping, and definitely before “ad-free”, TV adverts were part of the viewing experience, not an interruption. In fact, for many of us growing up through the 80s and 90s, the adverts were just as memorable as the programmes themselves. You didn’t mute them. You quoted them. You waited for them. The Jingles That Never Left Us There’s something about a catchy advertising jingle that burrows into your […]
Essex Police are assessing information about private flights to and from Stansted Airport after release of files linked to Jeffrey Epstein. Former prime minister Gordon Brown has urged UK officers to re-examine claims that women or girls were trafficked into the country on flights. Writing in the New Statesman, he said the documents show the financier's jet made ninety trips to or from UK airports, including fifteen after his two […]
For many of us Gen Xers, radio wasn’t just background noise—it was an experience. It was the soundtrack to homework, family meals, long car rides, and lazy weekends. And somewhere along the line, it made a lot of us wonder: could we be the ones behind the microphone? The Early Influence From Top of the Pops countdowns to the school-run radio jingles, certain songs and moments had a magnetic pull. […]
