Before algorithms, personalised playlists and instant downloads, discovering new music took effort. And that is exactly what made it special. For Gen X, new music often arrived through the radio first. You would hear a track once and spend the rest of the week hoping it would be played again so you could hit record on your cassette deck at just the right moment. If you were lucky, the presenter […]
Thames Valley Police have concluded searches at the former residence of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in Windsor. Officers began searching Royal Lodge in Berkshire last Thursday regarding an investigation into alleged misconduct in public office. The allegation relates to his time as a UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright confirmed that officers have now left the location. This follows the arrest of a man in his […]
The songs that defined our teenage years If you were a teenager in the late 80s or 90s, the school run had a soundtrack. It might have been your mum’s Fiesta with the volume already up, your mate’s battered Nova with one working speaker, or your own pride and joy once you finally passed your test. Either way, the music mattered. This was the era of recording songs off the […]
John Davidson MBE, a campaigner with severe Tourette's syndrome, has spoken out after calling out a racial slur at the BAFTAs, saying he is "deeply mortified". Davidson inspired the film I Swear, which dramatises his life with the condition, characterised by sudden, involuntary, repetitive sounds or movements known as tics. The incident occurred when two black actors, Michael B Jordan and Delroy Lindo, were on stage presenting the first award […]
Sunday had a mood. It started slowly. A quieter morning. Maybe a lie in. Maybe the papers spread out on the table. The kettle on more than once. But as the day went on, something shifted. By late afternoon, you could feel it. That unmistakable Sunday night feeling. The Sound of Sunday Evenings For many of us, Sunday evenings had their own soundtrack. The bath running upstairs. The smell of […]
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has sent a firm message of defiance over the ongoing conflict. Speaking at government headquarters in Kyiv, he said that far from losing, Ukraine would end the war victorious. He rejected paying the price for a ceasefire demanded by President Vladimir Putin, which would involve withdrawing from strategic ground Russia has failed to capture despite heavy losses. Zelensky added that Putin has already started World War […]
Saturday felt different. Even before you looked at the clock, you knew what day it was. There was a rhythm to it. For many Gen X households, Saturday revolved around football, results, and a very specific routine that rarely changed. The Sound of Saturday Afternoons If football was your thing, the soundtrack of Saturday afternoon was unmistakable. The radio on in the kitchen. The TV flicking between matches. That familiar […]
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, […]
