We wish Bill Murray was our real dad. The legendary comic actor has become something of an American international institution with his deadpan humour and willingness to get involves in all sorts of larks, usually to the utter joy of unsuspecting fans. He is to feature as Baloo in Disney’s upcoming live-action version of The Jungle Book this year, […]

A decent man in the dark, murky world. Netflix’ seminal Making A Murderer was a gripping watch. There is something about the tangled web of crime, corruption and courtroom intrigue that draws us in, and has each of us playing detective to solve the unsolvable. Part of the attraction (probably the wrong word for a murder case) is the […]

Game Of Thrones earns rave reviews and is regularly decorated with various accolades – but it is not without its fierce critics. The award-winning fantasy drama is often accused of being gratuitous in its depiction of female characters, with nudity and explicit scenes of sexual nature a regular motif of the show, along with its notoriously violent […]

James Corden has hit gold with the Carpool Karaoke format. There’s no denying that it is a brilliantly entertaining way of interviewing a guest whilst making them feel totally at ease and willing to let loose. There’s been some absolute classics, but the most recent episode may be the best one yet. We’re not going […]

It’s happening. It’s actually happening. Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. AKA Snoop Dogg has previously enthralled us with his hilarious narrations of the natural world. A sort of David Attenborough meets gangsta rap. Who can forget the rapper’s star turn during his ‘Plizzanet Earth’ segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live… Such was the popularly of Snoop’s venture into zoology that over 65,000 fans […]

We’re not sure this was the best idea. If you’ve ever been shopping for paint in a supermarket or DIY store, you’ll be fully aware of all the weird and wonderful names they have for the differing colours. There’s about twelve shades of white. But this is definitely the worst we’ve seen. In fact we’re […]

No time to mourn. There’s a sad predictability about the response to any act of terrorism. And of course it’s desperate that we’re even able to gauge it due to regularity. The information age may be brilliant and instant, but it is also an era of misinformation, rumour, and prank. It is perfectly natural that people should […]

It’s all fun and games until he turns up at your door with an axe and a cruel smile. To say Roy Keane was unimpressed with Arsenal’s elimination from this year’s Champions League competition at the hands of Barcelona is something of an understatement. It’s not so much their 3-1 defeat at the Camp Nou that […]

A pint of Guinness. There’s nothing quite like it. Or so I’m told. As a practicing Muslim, I’ve never tried it myself. But I’ve spent many an evening watching pals neck the stuff in various public houses as I nurse a glass of orange juice. Now I’ve never been tempted to sup on the dark […]

Yeah boy! We thought we’d seen it all when Snoop Dogg tried his hand at narrating wildlife, but nothing quite prepared us for Flavor Flav presenting the weather. The legendary (and infamous) Public Enemy hype man made a very special appearance on Fox 13 in Salt Lake City, Utah on Saturday to give the locals the lowdown […]

God love Liam Gallagher. In an age when media luvvies and celeb friends are constantly trying to outdo each other in the sycophancy stakes, the Burnage-native simply couldn’t give a f*ck. And so when a spurious claim resurfaced that Liam had once promised physical harm upon Grimsby star Sacha Baron Cohen, the ex-Oasis man wasn’t going to let it […]

It’s like Blue Dream meets Blue Peter. When we think of Seth Rogen, there’s two things that come to mind – bawdy Judd Apatow comedies and weed, glorious weed. Here the Rogemeister (we just made that up, it’s not a thing) focuses on the latter as he goes through rolling the perfect joint in admirable detail. If you […]

Seriously what is she on? If you ever wondered what would happen if the irresistible f*cknut met the immovable thunderb*stard, you were in luck this week, as celebrity idiot Sarah Palin jumped aboard the Donald Trump bandwagon to endorse the walking wig’s Republican candidacy. Any sane person of remotely sound mind would of course dismiss the pair as […]

This changes everything. We’re all used to mixing our sweet and salty popcorn, and salted caramel is everywhere, but have McDonald’s gone too far with their latest culinary invention? The official account has proudly announced a new addition to the sugar-savoury canon – the McChoco Potato… Everybody has a sweet and a salty side. Now, […]

Each generation has its own quote for the ages. Who can forget Franklin D. Roosevelt’s enigmatic, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” Or Nelson Mandela’s inspiring, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Now our generation has its own ‘One small step for man…’ moment, and […]

You can say what you like about Gary Neville, but he certainly doesn’t mince his words. Just a month into his first management role at Valencia, the former Sky Sports pundit has admitted to his former employees that he doesn’t see his long-term future in management. He has already ruled himself out of taking charge […]

Well said… As well as the terrible flood damage that has been caused all across Ireland in recent days, many parts of the UK have also felt the wrath of Storm Frank. Homes and valuables have been water-damaged, and some local businesses may never recover from the loss of income, stock and equipment. Absolute devastation […]

And we think we have it bad… On our island we’ve been dealing with Storm Frank but he’s been even more devastating in the UK and on top of that, they have to put up with Sky News’ agent provocateur, Kay Burley. Whenever there is tragedy or misfortune, you can always rely on her to be there […]

Now then, is something afoot at Man United? Sky Sports report that training at the club’s Carrington training complex ahead of Monday’s game with Chelsea was taken by assistant coach Ryan Giggs, and that Louis van Gaal was conspicuous by his absence. It is an extremely rare occurrence as Van Gaal insists on taking each […]

There is a scene from 2014’s darkly twisted Nightcrawler in which Louis Bloom, played by a gaunt Jake Gyllenhaal, is the first to an LA crime scene. He is an ‘ambulance chaser’ who uses his radio scanner and camcorder to beat the emergency services to bloody incidents and film the action. He finds a dead body […]
