I'm not sure if this is a mid-life crisis or just a spur to get me fit after a year of excess, but either way after completing 4 London to Brighton cycle rides over a 5 year period, I've signed up for the equivalent of more than 4 of them in 4 consecutive days!

At this point in history, there's nothing novel about a morally preening politician engineering his own political demise in a morals scandal.

Courtyards were filled until there was nothing left but closes (narrow lanes, from the word 'enclosure', meaning...

Men of the World: Post the Color of your Kalsoon Unfortunately, it looks like a lot of people, especially women, are desperate for anything that can cure or decrease the risk of breast cancer, and this is completely understandable.
