Anderson's hair nightmare and Town's new boy is a TV star...

The menace strikes again. The new football season is just a few weeks old, but already we have seen more bad hair than a Metallica concert - and there was yet another example on show during Manchester United's rather laboured win over Portsmouth on Monday....

The Olympics are over, we beat the Australians - and they certainly do give a XXXX....

So, after three weeks of sporting drama, success and failure, the Beijing Olympics 2008 are all over. And, for those of you who somehow managed to miss the news, we plucky old Brits on "Team GB" - still sounds a bit too much like an Americanised branding...

Impersonating Michael Phelps, and track legend goes crazy...

Life must be good right now for Michael Phelps. He's the most decorated Olympian of all time and has accomplished exactly what he set out to do in these games, namely win 8 gold medals. The guy swims like a hyperactive caffeine-crazed dolphin after...

Ah, the start of the football season. Is there a finer day on any calendar? The sun always seems to shine, beer tastes better and life regains meaning. There's the wonderful anticipation, the hopes of glory, the knowledge that your team is without doubt...
