Did these politicians turn down TV debate in hope of appealing to the silent majority?
Two by-elections in the same country and such contrasting approaches.
Aussie plan for replica Titanic could sink our big tourist draw
I'd love to have seen the faces of the people who market the Titanic Centre in Belfast when they heard that an Ozzie billionaire is building a replica. Suddenly, "Titanic – you'll never see her likes again!" isn't quite the selling point it used to be.
Put a dress on it, Beyonce
I know I'm an old fart but really.... when did young women suddenly decide that the perfect look for a night out was under-age hooker?
Little wonder young men are feeling fuzzy at this new look
Recession chic – cup cakes, girls with tattoos and men with beards. Are these three trends a reaction to the insecurity of the times? Are we harking back to safer days of old, when men were wild hunter gatherers and women stayed in the cave to create a home?
It's time to copy Iceland and give our politicians the cold shoulder
If the government's Welfare to Work scheme were an employee, it would have been fired by now for not working.
I have a bone to pick with TV news
You're sitting eating your dinner, watching the news, when, without warning, they cut to a reporter standing in an abattoir and show loads of carcasses of cows hanging upside down and pictures of butchers carving up huge hunks of dead flesh. Yuck.
Will Big Macs satisfy unionist hunger for real change?
We've had the McMuffin, the McNugget and the McFlurry. If Basil McCrea and John McAllister do form a new party might they consider calling it the McUnionist Party? Think of the slogan, 'We're lovin' it!'
Even Gary can't get people here to stay in tune with each other
Ah, the irony of it all – a unionist "unity" candidate whose selection has ended up dividing unionists.
It's the same old tune ... like ex-politicians and bankers, HMV boss will find a new role
I'm betting Trevor Moore isn't known as King Midas among his mates. He left Jessops to take up the post of CEO of HMV.
Liza proves we're all in place apart
The real attitude of the English to the "others" was illustrated, albeit inadvertently, by Liza Tarbuck on her Radio 2 show on Saturday evening.
Flippin 'eck! From scoffing pancakes to sexy lingerie in space of two days
It'll be a busy time in card shops this week. No sooner will they have the Happy Pancake Day! cards out on the shelves for tomorrow, (NB: You aren't allowed to say Pancake Tuesday anymore, it has to be Pancake Day, the same way Easter Sundays become Easter Day, for some reason ... ) than they'll have to take them down and get the 'Thinking of you on Ash Wednesday' cards up.
Now that roads are clear I feel it's time for us to get blocked
To all those who went off drink for the whole of January, I say, "Well done!".
The chocolate chips are down when they start messing with my favourite treats
Certain horrible modernisms I can just about handle – people on buses, all on phones, not acknowledging other human beings around them; young people no longer shaking your hand when you're introduced; total disregard for the correct use of apostrophes as if grammar's as relevant as a horse-drawn carriage. But one recent aberration that's been creeping in insidiously is simply unacceptable and it has to stop now.
Will Paris be right match for Beckhams?
Paris St Germain Man: "Ah, Bonjour, Les Beckhams! Bienvenue a Paris!"

When was the last time you used a phone book to find a number? Chances are, probably a long time ago.
Forget the border and EU and let's unite on the real issues we face
So David Cameron's referendum on the EU seems to come down to this - do you want to stay in? Do you want to go out? In, out, in, out, y'shake it all about. You do the HokEUy CokEUy and y'turn around, and that's what it's all about!
Kieran casts a spell on wife Katie
