It has to have been one of the most spectacular sporting events I’ve ever seen live. I was fortunate enough to receive an invite to the Royal Tournament and there was only one event I looked forward to. The Royal Navy Field Gun Competition. For years I’d seen it on TV, but all of a…

It seems over recent months more people are coming forward to talk openly about UFOs and aliens. An intriguing subject It’s a subject I’ve been interested in for years.

The City Hall was saved
Back in 2013, can it really be ten years ago, Newcastle City Council had to respond to comments they were planning to closed the iconic music venue, Newcastle City Hall.

A tale from a Captain
It seems like everyone is talking about the Women’s World Cup Football Final today, but it isn’t the first world cup. Ask a football fan when the first world cup was held and they will probably tell you it was in Uruguay in 1930. But if you go back to 1909, you’ll find teams competing…
