Hi °C | Lo °C Why Glynis is still arresting sight
You may remember a TV show called Dempsey and Makepeace. I don't recall it myself as, generally speaking, I'm far too busy for that sort of thing.
Why relationships can sometimes go Brits up
Spat ahoy! The latest celeb fight is between Britney – I forget her second name – and Jeremy Timberlake, her former squeeze.
How rogue gene was one giant step for man
How intriguing to read about a gene found in rural Ulster folk that turns them into giants.
I believe we need church for atheistsTen virtues: Alain de Botton
I envy and sort of admire the church at the end of our street. Of course, I've never been in. But it looks nice in winter, all lit up. And, come to think of it, I've been into the adjoining hall – to vote.
I'm sick of women's insults about man flu
Man flu: did you ever hear the like? That we, the tough, heroic gender should whinge about feeling poorly is an intolerable slur, regardless of whether or not it's true.
Violence on TV can make us fat: now that's really depressing news
Good news is no news. Isn't that the case? One looks down the list of headlines online and it's murder, murder, war, rape, disaster, fatal accident and, finally, a talking penguin.
Posh is a battered fish out of water
Victoria Beckham and I have much in common. For a start, we're both on an alkaline diet. And we've both recently been in a chippie.
What a stout fellow the heir to the throne really is
Many people believe the Royal Family belongs behind bars, so it was sporting of Prince Charles to blunder into one.
There's no need to tear your hair out over rising impotence survey
Bald. Fat. Impotent. Shock new figures paint a damning picture of modern man. His head: hairless. His gut: overflowing. His marital apparatus: malfunctioning.
Don't tell Madge she's weaker sex
Women are getting weaker, according to new research. Hell's bells. As someone who finds Madonna's biceps intimidating, and who wouldn't much fancy arm-wrestling Kylie, I find that hard to believe.
Here's some advice that's not to be sneezed at

London local paper The Guardian reports that guitar music is coming back. But it adds: "Sadly, it's likely to be rubbish."
Our high streets will be virtually empty if we keep shopping online
Let's face it, for many products, the last place you'd do your shopping is a shop.
Why Liam won't put his kids on stage
Odd business acting. Not so many centuries ago, it was a scandalous profession, sharing roughly the same status as prostitution. Today, actors are our gods, a pantheon of thespians to whom we look for guidance.
There is no way I want to be told off by my cutlery when I've had a tad too much to eat!
God, I've had it up to here with gadgets. I waited ages for the iPad Mini but, as usual with Apple, it was still too dear.
It's time to turn off these dark tales of violence against women
Somebody has to speak up for women. And, since they're too rubbish to do it themselves, I suppose I'll have to get on with it. I rise with thumbs in waistcoat pockets to make my case following the airing on television of Ripper Street, another television series with violence against women as its theme.
Tree-mendous! Congrats to Belfast residents who proved their bite was worse than their bark

Why it's better to stay calm than go off your trolley
Rage is all the rage. It's all around us, getting out of the car and into the supermarket, ever-ready to give and take offence. Enough! Time to keep calm and stop carrying on.
Hair Hathaway of annoying you
As you might imagine, I provide lots of fashion advice to eagerly grateful women my age. One sage opinion I try to hammer home almost daily is this: don't cut your hair.
I just can't picture me lifelogging
