I’ve no idea how to say this other than just saying it: On Sunday, during a game of football, Craig collapsed and died. He was 23.

Happy New Year lads and lasses. Is it a sign of being something of a joyless old gimmer when you see in the New Year sober with some Cherry Garcia and a can of herbal iced tea? (Just typing it makes me realise how gay I sound!) But, we had been on something of a [...]

Is there anything worse than attending the lavatory to find a full load deposited all over the porcelain and floor? Perhaps yes and no, but that’s what greeted John this morning when he arrived at Butler Sheetmetal HQ. For reasons still under investigation, a part of the bog roof had collapsed. (library pictures of nasty [...]
