A 23-year-old wild card has reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals after a fightback. Arthur Fery entered the tournament ranked 114, with only two grand slam victories and no five-set match wins. He has won two matches from positions, beating former semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov 7-5 3-6 4-6 6-4 7-6. After trailing Zizou Bergs in the fourth and fifth sets, Fery recovered to earn a meeting with ninth-seed Flavio Cobolli. A mother has […]
The world changes fast now. Technology changes. Music changes. Television changes. Apparently phones now fold again for reasons nobody fully understands. But despite all that, some traditions still survive. And honestly, Gen X hopes they never disappear. Because traditions are the small familiar things that make life feel comforting. The routines, habits and moments that somehow stay important no matter how modern everything becomes. They connect generations too. Parents pass […]

Britain runs on unsung heroes. Not celebrities. Not influencers. Not people doing motivational podcasts while standing near rented sports cars. Real heroes. The everyday legends quietly keeping British life functioning while asking for absolutely nothing in return except maybe a decent cup of tea and a working pen. Gen X grew up surrounded by these people, and honestly, society would collapse within about three days without them. Here are just […]

It is not yet known whether they will join the duke on any visits outside the capital. Prince Harry had intended to travel with Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, to an event marking one year until the Invictus Games in Birmingham. He is also due to visit some […]
At some point during adulthood, many of us started pretending to enjoy things we definitely hated as kids. Olives. Blue cheese. Red wine. Sparkling water that tastes like somebody whispered “fruit” into it from another room. Gen X especially became experts at this. Somewhere between paying council tax and buying kitchen appliances voluntarily, we convinced ourselves certain foods were “sophisticated.” And for years many of us quietly forced them down […]
FIFA is in ongoing talks over an earlier kick-off time for England's World Cup match against Mexico on Sunday due to the risk of severe weather disruption. The Football Association is discussing the potential change with the world governing body, though there is no clear outcome yet. The round-of-sixteen clash at the Azteca Stadium was scheduled for six o'clock local time, meaning one in the morning in England. Special licensing […]
Not every trend deserves a comeback. For every brilliant bit of nostalgia Gen X remembers fondly, there’s another trend we’re perfectly happy to leave buried somewhere in the past next to broken fax machines and forgotten New Romantic haircuts. Because while the 70s, 80s and 90s gave us amazing music, iconic films and some unforgettable TV, they also gave us some truly questionable ideas. And somehow, at the time, many […]
Andy Burnham has stated he has not yet chosen his chancellor, amid speculation regarding his potential cabinet if he runs unopposed in the Labour leadership contest. Speaking to LBC, the prime minister-in-waiting expressed frustration over Westminster's focus on personalities rather than policy and direction. He insisted he is deliberately focusing on setting out a new direction for the country, which he outlined on Monday. England have reached Sunday's T20 World […]
School taught us a lot of things. Some useful. Some confusing. Some completely impossible to apply in real life unless somebody urgently needs a compass or a recorder performance. But the most useful skills most Gen Xers ever learned usually came from somewhere else entirely. Parents. Jobs. Friends. Trial and error. Or complete panic. Because growing up in the Gen X era meant learning practical life skills whether you wanted […]
