Vocal fry, board-shorts, The Wellness Industry, those stupid ginger shots you can get from Pret that cost about £5: California has a lot to answer for.

As the starting XI got the match underway in ‘t-shirt weather conditions’ the big question among the substitutes was if anyone […]
Fines continue to reap havoc, particularly in the Majid family who were all at sea with the Sunday early meet time. Rami couldn’t park; The water bottles were locked in the Omar’s car; 2 rogue high value bottles arrived late with Ish and the adopted member of the family H had his mind firmly on […]
