Today marks the end of Trump's disastrous and divisive presidency, and the start of a new era under President Joe Biden. While he is not entirely unproblematic, few would disagree that his inauguration marks a fresh start for America and a chance for the nation to heal and begin making amends. With Biden comes America's first ever female vice-president -…
The ITV have recently released their adaptation of the notorious Pembrokeshire murders, staring Luke Evans and Keith Allen. Evans plays Steve Wilkins, the detective, whose unfaltering determination finally led to the conviction of John Cooper (Keith Allen). The story is adapted from the book Wilkins wrote 'The Pembrokeshire Murders: Catching the Bullseye Killer' and told from his point of view.…
A full day of commission writing lay ahead of me, however my deadlines will just have to keep looming as I am sat here with steam whistling out of my ears at what I have viewed on Twitter this morning. Remember the good old days when the only viruses Love Island needed to worry about were those contracted in the…
According to ‘research’ conducted in 2004, Blue Monday falls on the third Monday in January and is said to be ‘the most depressing day of the year’. This year, it falls on Monday 18th January 2021. The term was coined by a psychologist called Dr Cliff Arnall when Sky Travel asked him to calculate scientifically when would be the most…
I truly believe they don’t make series like they used too and Sex and the city for me is up there as one of the best and nothing for me has ever come close. Although this series was popular in the late nighties I didn’t start watching until I was in my mid-twenties, and I was hooked almost straight away…
Just when you think American politics can’t get any crazier, Donald Trump steps up and does something even more stupid; and this time, he’s getting impeached for it. This is actually the second time Donald has been impeached, which is a word you won’t hear often in British politics (although it does exist). So what does it actually mean and…
Podcasts have had a real popularity surge during the last year - why is this? I myself have been a podcast fiend for a few years now but have definitely listened to more of them during 2020. Podcasts actually began in the 1980s and were called ‘audio blogging’, however due to the lack of means to distribute these recordings, they…
Love it or hate it, the Masked Singer is back on ITV for 2021. And quite frankly, I’m ecstatic about it! What is The Masked Singer? The Masked Singer is a TV programme that started in South Korea (called King of Mask Singer) and has taken off across the world. People at home/viewers join a panel of four judges in…
Ok, this post is probably going to sound a little ranty, I can’t decide if it’s meant to or if I’m just having a bad day. I feel like I’ve been having a bad day since last week to be honest but here we are. First of all, I’m not a teacher. My child learns from me, probably some bad…
Clap for Heroes has been announced today, from tomorrow, people will be encouraged to stand on their doorsteps, weekly, once more and clap. This time the word has been changed from carers to heroes, and while I realise this may be controversial, I’m mad about it. I’m not happy, but I’m pleased to see most of Twitter isn’t either! on…
