Iran’s supreme leader has been killed in US Israeli strikes, according to a senior Israeli official speaking to Reuters. The official said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who had ruled Iran since 1989, is dead and that his body has been found. His compound was said to have been extensively damaged in strikes today. Within minutes of the report, Iranian state media cited the supreme leader’s office as saying the enemy is […]
Friday in 1995 felt different. By the time you finished work, college or your YTS placement, the whole weekend stretched out in front of you. No group chats. No constant notifications. Just a plan, loosely agreed sometime that afternoon, and the promise of a good night. Maybe it started at home, getting ready with the radio on, hairspray in the air and someone arguing over what to wear. Then it […]
Paramount has agreed a 110 billion dollar deal to buy Warner Bros Discovery, after Netflix walked away from a bidding war. Netflix declined to match Paramount’s latest offer of 31 dollars per share, having previously proposed 27 dollars 75 cents per share for its studio and streaming assets. Paramount is led by David Ellison, son of billionaire Larry Ellison, and has deep political connections to Donald Trump’s administration. American singer […]
Thursday can feel like a bit of a slog. Close enough to Friday to see it, but still with meetings, deadlines, school runs and errands to tick off. And that is where the right song makes all the difference. For Gen X, work anthems were forged in the 80s and 90s. These were not background tracks. They were full volume, desk drumming, sing it like nobody is listening moments. Maybe […]
A police sergeant has been dismissed for using a picture frame to weigh down her laptop keys to create the impression she was working from home. Avon and Somerset Police said the officer, known as Sergeant X, used the method on most shifts in April and May last year. She admitted placing a corner of the frame on the keyboard so the laptop would not enter sleep mode during personal […]
If you were around in the mid 90s, you will remember this clearly. It was not just about the music. It was about identity. Attitude. Allegiance. You were either in one camp or the other. The summer of 1995 became the moment everything exploded. Oasis released Roll With It. Blur dropped Country House. The so called Battle of Britpop dominated headlines, breakfast telly and playground debates. Even people who did […]
Jeffrey Epstein blamed "Charles" on the day Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor stepped down as UK trade envoy. On 21 July 2011, Epstein wrote, "I assume he knows that this is Charles' doing," in response to an associate noting, "Lots of TV coverage on PA and always big feature on you. Insane." PA is understood to refer to Prince Andrew. The Metropolitan Police has apologised to Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle for "inadvertently […]
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 […]
