Nobody could ever accuse Brian Cox of being backward at coming forward, and the plain-speaking actor – as opposed to the plain-speaking physicist – played to type when he spoke to Channel 4 News’ Scotland correspondent, Kathryn Samson, about his new play at Dundee Rep …plus one or two other things. Brian Cox, “I think […]

Just the worst scenes coming out of Texas where 27 children and counsellors have been confirmed dead at the time of writing in the flash floods that swept away a summer camp on the banks of the Guadalupe River. At least 82 people have been confirmed to have died amid the flash flooding, a figure […]

If you are or have ever been a parent of a teenager, then you know that it can sometimes feel like you’re trying to converse with an alien from another planet. When they actually speak to you, instead of just grunting at you, trying to decipher what they mean from what they’ve said can be […]

Spare a thought – only kidding – for Alan Sugar, who took to Twitter to complain about the noise from the Pride in London march on Saturday. The Apprentice tsar, you see, had apparently gone into the capital for a bit of ‘peace and quiet’ only to find this going on. I went into town […]

Early days we know but if we see a funnier Twitter exchange this month then, well, we look forward to reading it.

For instance, Jason introduced an unwelcome hint of logic into this anti-abortionist’s world. Talked to an anti-abortion protester about how […]

If you had to choose a single word to sum up Donald Trump’s return to the White House, well, chaos would be right up there, obviously. As would tariffs, which the retuning president hasn’t stopped wanging on about during pretty much the entirety of his second administration to date. But despite – or perhaps because […]

All of us, at some point, have received text messages intended for somebody else and they’re usually quite mundane affairs that are easily brushed off with a response along the lines of ‘think you’ve got the wrong number, sorry!’ But Twitter user Jame received a text which was alarmingly different and quite hilarious.
