Regardless of gender, it’s usually always the case that during the winter months we overindulge and put a few pounds on. Then come Spring Time, we start looking forward to the warmer weather, sunbathing on the beach and drinking cool ones in the pubs Beer Garden. There is one problem though. We don’t want to […]

The High Street is dying. How do we breathe some life into it?
I’ve never been one for shopping. To me it’s one of the most boring pastimes going. For some however, you’d think it was an Olympic sport. Spending whole days flitting from Gucci to Selfridges, Lunch at Harvey Nichols, and then a mammoth marathon in Next, Vivienne Westwood, Prada, Thomas Pink, JPG and then drinks at […]
Social Services Need to Improve
Let’s get something straight. Social services need to stop meddling where they’re not needed. My blended family is getting pretty sick of Social Services interfering where they’re not required. I have an adult step daughter, who has an equally difficult boyfriend. The pair of them are as bad as each other. She winds him up, […]
Police Report Sex Offenders Go Missing
I can understand how one person slips under the radar, but EIGHTEEN sex offenders is absurd! No fewer than 18 sex offenders in the Greater Manchester are have vanished.

It’s a Dog’s Life!
‘No, I don’t want a dog’ he said. Suddenly she’s now his ‘baby waby’! Seriously, when I said I’d foster a dog, my fella was apprehensive to say the least. Even calling her ‘Ba****d the Puppy’. Now, I have regular requests for updates on her. My partners ex wife unfortunately passed away last week, so […]
Racism and Anti-Semitism On the Rise
An interfering aunt sparked a huge argument with her nephew over his choice to not marry within the Jewish faith, leading to a backlash from him that was both eloquent and exceptionally to the point, all while telling her to butt out and to not be so blinkered in her views. Which led me to […]
