Just in time for the ritual freakshow of this year’s Appentice to start, complete with pointing and laughing, we thought it was time to drop in and check on the progress of our absolute all-time favourite underdogs, STUG Enterprises Inc, or “Me and my associate,” as Doug likes to call them.  And in the process, [...]

There are things in life that just go together.  You know they’re gonna work, they’re tried and tested, you can bet on them.  Like rhubarb and custard.  Salt and vinegar.  Bangers and mash.  Ant and Dec.  Then there are things that you think probably really shouldn’t.  But when you put them together, something just happens.  [...]

So, you know the club in the village, right?  The one that used to be The Loft?  Well there’s a funny story, right, about who owns that club.  No, really, it’s a really funny story, dead interesting, so bear with me here.  Because it was originally built by Finn and Lewis, right, not gravel-voiced man-boy [...]

On to more festive matters.  Over in the student halls, away from the teen angst that was more overheated than Annalise’s cremated turkey, Ash was sticking her camera into her mates’ faces and grilling them about their darkest secrets.  In the process, we found out that Rob was complacent, Annalise was obsessive-compulsive but absolutely adorable [...]

No, we’re not about to burst into a cheesy musical song, though it’s the right season for it, and we will if you want, we’re pretty cheap really.  Mr Myra’s Kitchen usually pays us not to burst into song, you might want to be aware of that before you make your choice. No, this week [...]

There are things that you wait for for ages, and when they finally get here, they’re a bit disappointing.   I dunno, like that last bit of Harry Potter.  Or the World Cup final.  Or the Christmas special of Dr Who.  And then there are things you wait for, your appetite sharpened with every passing second, [...]

No, we’re not standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo crying in the rain, we sometimes wish we were, it would be fabulous.  No, is it just us, or is the Oaks going through one of its revolving door/one-in-one-out phases at the moment?  It’s like being on one of Dennis’s beloved roundabouts, and every [...]

We’ve been trying to think when there was ever a more useless copper on the screen than DC Ethan Scott.  Is he incompetent?  Or just plain BAD?  It took us a while, but then we hit on it.  Based on his form, hapless plod Ethan is the new Inspector Clouseau.  Picture the scene: DI Busty-Blonde [...]

I’ve been avoiding this.  But I just can’t duck out of it any longer.  Here we go.  *cracks knuckles* So.  Bart and Sinead.  It’s been going on a long time, right?  Can anyone remember how it started?  Is anyone still bovvered?  Because we’re struggling.  Let’s recap. About 453 years ago, Sinead had the hots for [...]

It’s been a funny old ride, the Upstairs-Downstairs symbiosis between the McQueens and the Costellos.  This merger of the Premiership with the  Johnstone’s Paint Trophy started near enough a year ago, when Mercedes popped into The Dog for a snifter to help her get over recently-deceased Mal, and ended up accidentally engaged to 19 year [...]
