A bit more stretching

-

I am going to revisit my session on the rack once more just to share some great pictures from the day.

A reminder - this was the feature I did for the Express to test out a workout that claims to make you taller.

Actually it did, I gained around a centimetre from doing the routine of stretching and yanking.

Anyway, thanks to photographer Dan Lynch for letting me use some of his pictures that didn’t make it into the paper.

They did make me chuckle.














In case you were concerned, it didn't hurt that much - I laid it on thick for the purpose of drama and entertainment!

Another sour and yawn-inducing offering from Tabloid Watch

I t was Oscar Wilde who wrote “the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about”. I have nothing more to add other than to share the following, posted on Tabloid Watch - the website which purports to blog about “bad journalism”. It is in response to Friday's report in the Express putting our money where our mouths are when it comes to reporting the weather. Predictably it follows their usual style of pointless drivel. Point the critical finger guys, be my guest, it does make me chuckle - but while you are doing so, be very careful someone doesn’t have cause to point it firmly back at you.

Jedward spotted in the city, but what were they up to?

I know that hair, I thought to myself as I passed London’s Monument on the way home from work. Those ridiculously elongated, spiky locks, wacky costumes and irritating voices were an immediate giveaway. And of course it only took me a second to recognise Jedward – the X-Factor twins whose ludicrous image and inability to hold a note have propelled them to (semi) fame. I have nothing against them, I am only being mean, and credit where it’s due, they are fiercely determined, and have built up a pretty unique act for themselves. So well done brothers Grimes. But it has to be said, the act is based around being cringe-worthingly bad at everything they try. They only made it through on the X-Factor because Simon Cowell was won over by their determination and self-belief – and let’s face it, that is really all it takes. At one point during the sing off with another band, they barged their way to the front and took over, throwing the other (better) act into the

Jimmy Savile - Stranger Danger

-
I have avoided commenting about Jimmy Savile for a number of reasons. We are all aware the entertainer is emerging as one of Britain’s most prolific and depraved pedophiles. He considered himself above his audience, his peers and most worryingly the law, preying on hundreds of children over 50 years - young girls, boys, and disabled youngsters. There are rumours he was involved in even more disturbing acts.  He has, most recently, been linked to the killing spree carried out by Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe, the pair were apparently mates after Savile visited him in Broadmoor high security hospital. Sutcliffe has since come out and said the claims against Savile are “rubbish” - a more glowing endorsement you couldn’t wish for. I have consciously given the subject one a wide berth until now. Firstly, in my opinion, it is all to late, he is dead. He can no longer be brought to justice for what he allegedly did, nor can he defend himself from the casca
