A Christmas Gift From WBA
2015 will be forever remembered as the year Joe Luca discovered football. All previous hobbies and interests took a back seat as the little man put on his football boots and never looked back. His love for his team, West Bromwich Albion has no bounds, he literally lives, eats (Match of the Day repeats with his breakfast anyone?) and sleeps – in a West Brom duvet of course – football. And, as well as loving his team with a unbridled passion that borders on obsession, he also likes to play a little… Joe has spent the year working with coaches from The Albion Foundation, a brilliant organisation that works in…

5 Movie-Themed Theme Park Attractions Around the World
There has always been somewhat of a correlation between theme parks and what appears on the big screen. It’s a natural bridge to cross, given the appeal of both leans heavily in favor of children. Think about it. The most famous theme park in the world is Disneyland, which aims to capture the imaginations of young children. That’s why so many other amusement parks follow the same pattern. Rides and roller coasters based around Hollywood blockbusters. The cynical among you will say that it’s just a marketing ploy. But isn’t there something to be said for bringing the big screen to life? The movies are one of life’s greatest escapes.…

The World’s Biggest Panto may just be the greatest ever
It has been billed as the World’s biggest panto, the only one that could boast of a cast of 100, an award winning gospel choir and a Bollywood dance troop. Cinderella opened in Birmingham at the Barclaycard Arena on Sunday night and it is totally wowing audiences with his mixture of panto, circus, dance and song. It is more than a mere pantomime, it may well be the ultimate Christmas spectacle. I was spellbound. We all know the story of Cinderella so I don’t think I’m spoiling the surprise for anyone when I say all the elements of the original story are in place, albeit with a slight twist in…

Planning the perfect wedding
You must have seen the stunning photographs of Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley’s wedding yesterday. It looked like the perfect Christmas wedding, with the bride looking absolutely exquisite in a dress designed by Suzanne Neville, and Frank scrubbing up pretty well too. Who doesn’t love a fabulous wedding? But a whole lot of hard work goes into making that perfect day completely perfect. Planning your wedding can be a very stressful time in your relationship, from trying to organize table plans, the song for your first dance and even where you want to get married can all take their toll on couples. However, don’t fret! There are multiple solutions available…

Christmas Belle – Kate Bush
It’s now time for my annual Christmas song from a female singer who also happens to be a style icon. Last year I chose 2000 Miles from The Pretenders, one of my absolute faves and pretty well known. This year I’ve opted for another fave lady, but with a song that is a little less well known. This year’s Christmas bell(e) is Kate Bush, and the song is December Will Be Magic Again, which she performed live on a Christmas special in 1979, and was then released for Christmas 1980, but only released number 29 in the charts. This was in the same year that the Christmas Number one position…
