Big Brother 10: Rows, bullies, telepathy (0)

Is this the most Scottish woman ever?

Week something in the Big Brother house, and Karly is the mastermind behind a new game called Vowel Bingo. All you need to do is put a mix of the recognised vowels (a, e, i, o, u) randomly into a square grid, then whenever she uses one of them, [...]

Wimbledon Watch: It’s almost over (2)

Is this the coolest man in Wimbledon?

It’s a big day for Muzza, as he sets out to one-better Tiger Tim - who, incidentally, appears to spend the evenings casually with his tie off, listening to reggae in a field with Johnny Mac and that hippy Inverdale. How we long to be in their little gang, [...]

The Stone Roses, Fools Gold

For a strange period in the 1990s, everyone thought it was cool to talk in a Manchester accent and walk a bit like Charlie Chaplin. That was mainly thanks to the Madchester explosion that started with these guys and ended with the shaved gorillas in Oasis. Above is a Stone Roses [...]

Interestment’s Top Four: Big Brother Hunks (1)

3/7/09 •

Weirdly, no room for the Zig…

Regardless of what people seem to be saying, this year’s Big Brother is looking like one of the best yet. You’ve got the Sree and Marcus axis of bizarre rivalry, signaling the first time ever that an Indian boy has gone toe-to-toe with a mulleted man for a woman’s affections [...]

Happy Birthday Tom Cruise, here’s Hendrix! (0)

Jimi Hendrix and Curtis Knight

Our favourite passive-aggressive actor, Tom Cruise, turns 47 today. That makes him nearly 50. How ridiculous that Maverick from Top Gun is nearly 50. Goose must be spinning in his grave. Anyway, he’s had quite a life with all the films, the curiously hollow-eyed girlfriends/wives, and the whole Scientology thing, so [...]

Football Window Watch: West Ham (0)

No, mate, not that kind of window etc…

It’s with the usual tiny espresso and gentlemanly cigarette that we bid a fine good morning to Eliot, a fine writer, here to continue his excellent Transfer Window series. Today, the people of West Ham…
What they need

A question that massively hinges upon whom they sell. A right back [...]

Hands up who likes Michael Jackson songs… (1)

2/7/09 •

Yes, we thought YOU might…

For those of you sitting in an air conditioned office, hungry for more words to read, we have been doing bits and pieces for the fantastic grown up gossip site Hecklerspray. This week, we turned our attention onto Michael Jackson and his incredible discography. After listening to every single song about [...]

Wimbledon Watch: Farewell Australians (0)

2/7/09 •

No more Aussies…

It’s was a gutsy Hewitt showing, out there, slugging it out with Roddick, but in the end the man with the astronomical serve put paid to the little surfer-looking chap at the other end. Still, it’s not all bad, Wimbledon’s loss is every Walkabout pub in London’s gain, as their yellow t-shirt brigade [...]
