Laura’s Top Picks Of 2021
There’s no way around it; 2021 has been a crappy year. Personally, few things have managed to counteract the misery (bet you’re glad you clicked this link, eh?) except for the Eurovision Song Contest returning in full force to make me cry; Little Mix thanking the Spice Girls and Sugababes during their historical Brit Awards win and making me cry; Strictly Come Dancing being its magical-self and ma...[Read More]

Hindsight is a wonderful thing, and with the year almost closing out we need to use the eyes on the back of our heads to see what we were given during another difficult year for all.

It was probably that last one. But like anything popular it wasn’t long before the imitators started pouring in. Some were better than others, I was p...[Read More]
F**K Activision-Blizzard
It’s been a difficult couple of years recently, a worldwide pandemic, the attempted destruction of western democracy, the shocking increase in stupid fucking idiots who, not only don’t believe in vaccines, but who now have decided that modern idiocy isn’t enough! NO! Now they have hurtled back in time a few centuries and have now decided that the earth is fucking flat! And the cherry on this shit ...[Read More]
