  Behold, the Word of the Year is unveiled

  Fri Nov 26 11:32AM

  By Richard Evans If you were going to choose a word to represent 2010 what would it be? Debt? Coalition? Wedding? Miners? Gamugate? Snow? There are lots to choose from. There are so many, in fact, that even the lexical behemoth that is the Oxford Dictionaries has struggled to narrow… More »

  Evolution applies to everything, even Andrew Marr

  Sat Oct 16 08:00AM

  By Richard EvansWhenever I think of the word ‘evolution' my mind, without fail, wanders back to the images in school textbooks of apes slowly turning into man - and if our photo editor is doing his job correctly it will be the image a few inches to the right of… More »

  Mon Sep 20 05:15PM

  By Richard EvansWell it's all over - the first papal visit to Britain since 1982 when John Paul II graced us with his presence has now come to an end. It didn't come cheap though; the four-day trip reportedly cost the taxpayer somewhere between £10 million and £12 million. So… More »

  Wed Aug 25 07:00AM

  By Richard EvansHow old are you? What are your hobbies and interests? Are you single? Would you mind telling me your political views? These are all questions that the majority of Facebook's 26 million UK users freely offer the answers to. Last week saw the inception of a new question:… More »

  Is it worth angering the Scots over a double summertime?

  Tue Aug 17 09:59AM

  By Richard EvansIt's back, the debate that has been quietly raging on the backburner since the 1960s. And while the debate is back, perhaps the clocks might not be. David Cameron last week signalled his willingness to look at a bill calling for a double summertime. Sounds great, doesn't it?… More »

  Billion pound oil company seeks tall, dark, funnelling system with GSOH

  Sat Jul 24 07:00AM

  Do not make a martyr out of Raoul Moat

  Sat Jul 17 07:00AM

  By Richard EvansThe fact that 38,000 people joined the Raoul Moat Facebook tribute page this week tells me one thing: There are at least 37,900 imbeciles using Facebook.I exclude 100 people on the basis that some of those who joined the page may have actually known Moat before he turned… More »

  Hey good lookin'

  Sun Jul 04 07:00AM

  By Richard Evans We all have our daily routines. For many of us it will include washing, drying, brushing, styling, spraying and hopefully, dressing.

  Why we should take a leaf out of France's book

  Sun Jun 27 07:00AM

  By Richard Evans Tuesday afternoon at 3.40pm, as Bafana Bafana scored their second goal against a sulking French team, I began frantically messaging the Yahoo! France news editor. He's usually a very chatty fellow but on this occasion he was surprisingly quiet. "OK a total shame I confess" was all he… More »
