Surviving a Heatwave in the UK
There's something wonderfully British about a heatwave. For months, we complain that it's too cold, too wet and too grey. Then the temperature climbs into the high twenties and, within about 24 hours, we're complaining that it's too hot. The fans come out. The barbecue gets dusted off.

The contest was triggered by the Reform UK leader's resignation in July, after scrutiny of donations and financial support he had received. Farage wanted a people versus the establishment by-election, but Westminster parties boycotted it, calling it a stunt. There are 34 candidates, including Count Binface, Laurence Fox, three Official Monster Raving […]
Films That Were Huge at the Time But Rarely Mentioned Today
There are some films that seem to exist in a strange sort of time capsule. You remember them being absolutely everywhere. Everyone was talking about them. They were on posters, in magazine adverts, in the TV listings and eventually on the shelves of every video rental shop in Britain. Then, somehow, they disappeared. They're not necessarily bad films. Quite the opposite. Some were massive box-office successes, had famous actors and […]
