A woman and her two young children go missing. That’s bad enough. It takes the police three weeks to find them. Buried in the back garden of their home. Why did it take three weeks? Why did it take so long to find the former Eastenders actress Sian Blake and…
Reggae. Reggae. Reggae. Here comes Jonny Reggae. Who doesn’t like a bit of reggae? Eh? Who doesn’t like Bob Marley’s No Woman No Cry or Tree Lickle Birds, I mean Three Little Birds? No self-respecting party or jump-up would be seen dead without these iconic numbers: as was evidenced down…

I could be wrong about this, but if I have a health condition, I do believe it is my responsibility to take care of myself and not leave that responsibility to others. What do I mean by all this? As we go along, you will get the picture. To begin….
