"During a company event at a Colplay concert I offered my head of HR a Murray Mint which she accepted. Whilst singing along to Yellow she accidentally swallowed the mint, and I was forced to perform the Heimlich maneuver just as the Jumbotron camera focused on us."
We've now gone full circle with takeaway deliveries, whereby it's easier, quicker and cheaper to order by keeping a stack of paper menus in a drawer and just ringing the restaurant directly.
Well - the entire crew of season two of #AdamRichmanEatsBritain has just been robbed. We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
All of the filming equipment is gone.
Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone.
Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone .
And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are. But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive.
It’s been almost an hour.
I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions.
Reward for anything found.
Politicians are lobbied by ticket companies, it's why you'll often see them at big gigs/sports events.
The biggest "legal" seller of tickets was able to act as a tout today, with total immunity from the law.
It's not free market capitalism, it's touting, protected.
Don't get the spite around Oasis. Youngsters will want to see them because their Mum and Dad told them they were their generation's Beatles and those my age will want to see them again because of that impact.
For some context, it wasn't just really good rock music, for many ( I'll play them now and again, saw them but wouldn't say I was a super fan by any means) they defined a time and a place.
The time was the 90's, the place was Britain. The Premier League, Oasis, Blur, Loaded magazine, irreverent music shows like the Word, Euro 96 and reclamation of the St George's Cross , a Labour government carried in with "things can only get better", designers like McCartney and McQueen made Britain's clobber cool for the first time since Carnaby Street 60's days. It all exploded and Oasis were in the middle of it.
That's why so many people have wanged on about reunions as if it's a second coming and why their kids now think it is. Because it was a very cool few years when Britain was centre stage, seemed genuinely open ( lots of Europeans started working around the country which for me was very cool and made the country look and feel welcoming), and Britain was at the centre of global sport, music and fashion at the SAME time.
Music is about taste so you like them, not or indifferent, but anyone would be a fool to not acknowledge ( especially those who lived through it) their cultural significance.
They were a part of what reinvented British cool after years of industry decline, unemployment, sporting decline and a nation ill at ease with itself.
It was really fucking cool to watch football, watch live music, dress in trendy British designers and feel a part of the centre of the universe.
That's what people are tapping into, a time when to be British was to be cool again.
Not sure why anyone, whether you like Oasis or not are pissing on that.
The heartbroken face of a woman who had her dreams shattered because the world thought it appropriate to make her fight a man in a ring.
Angela Carini is the winner in my eyes. What a strong lady for even daring to get in that ring.

If we could all just take a moment to appreciate the stunning cinematic beauty of this scene.
The bravado, the little shake of the hips, the half brick to the back of the head and, of course, the coup de grâce…..the agonizing strike to the knackers.
10/10😍
