Where I’ve been and of course the “Bucket List”

TV’s biggest night is here. The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards are back, albeit slightly delayed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes. But it was definitely worth the wait. With some of our favourite shows of last year nominated, like Ali Wong’s Beef, Prime Video fan fave […]

If you’re confused by council tax, you’re not alone — the maths isn’t maths–ing, and two women are tired of it. Campaigners want to lobby the government to change the council tax discount for solo dwellers. People who can afford to live alone and want to — if say, they […]
