Gorge yourself on British Cheese Week,
Did you know it was British cheese week? Nope, neither did I until about an hour ago – which supports new research finding that Britons know surprisingly little about our native cheese industry.
So woefully inadequate is our cheese-based general knowledge, according the British Cheese Board (geddit?), that one in ten of us is unaware that [...]

The consumer is scum
As any fule kno the purpose of the banking sector is to serve its shareholders and, well, bankers. Why on earth would anyone be interested in the needs of the boring old consumer?

Premier League review: Terrific Tevez and canny Nani
Giles Lucas reviews the latest Premier League weekend…
The Good
“Feliz Cumple Mami” was the message inscribed on Carlos Tevez’s undershirt. The words, revealed by the Argentine after scoring his stunning goal for Manchester City against Chelsea on Saturday, roughly translate as ‘Happy Birthday mum’.
Chelsea still remain top with the same points as the number of [...]

Vote Panda
I have an article in The Independent on Sunday today that Kevin Maguire regards as “savage”, in which I point out that the Labour Party and Labour MPs resisted the temptation to vote for The Panda:
He is soft, cuddly and panders to every oppositional instinct in the party.
They saw Ed Miliband’s pandering for what it [...]

“Just a puppet on a lonely string. Oh, who would ever want to be king?”
Whoever chose Coldplay for Ed Miliband’s election announcement didn’t read or understand the lyrics …
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word

Marathon Man, what’s the point?
Earlier this week I received a press release that told me a man from Belgium was running 365 marathons in 1 year. As Sport Editor for independent.co.uk I tend to receive quite a lot of these emails. Most move quicker to the trash bin than Usain Bolt moves over 100 metres but this once caught [...]
