Some movies never fade, no matter how many years pass. For Generation X, the films of the 80s and 90s weren’t just entertainment—they were cultural touchstones, first dates, sleepovers, and late-night VHS marathons. If you’re looking to relive those moments (or introduce a new generation to them), a throwback movie night is the perfect plan. 1. Pick Your Era or Theme Do you want 80s adventure, 90s teen classics, or a mix of both? Some fan favourites include Back to […]
Head of the Armed Forces Sir Richard Knighton has warned the UK is not as ready as needed for a full-scale conflict. He avoided questions on a reported shortfall in government defence spending.
