Sometimes, mums like to exaggerate things.

Whether that’s how long they spent cleaning your room, the need to tell you dinner’s ready when it clearly isn’t, or when they tell you you only have five minutes until school when you could’ve slept in for an extra half an hour.

Sometimes it’s for the greater good, sometimes it’s not. We’ve all been there.

Christmas is a celebration of beasts as well as divine beings.

It was, after all, a humble donkey who carried Mary to Bethlehem. It was sheep who kept watch over Jesus in the manger. It was the camels who brought the generous wise men to Christ.

As such, animals deserve to have a merry time during the festive season as much as we do. They work hard giving their owners comfort 365 days a year; there is no day off for a loyal dog or goldfish.

But Christmas can be an especially dangerous time for pets.

In fact, a third of pet owners experience an emergency over Christmas. Vets Now – an out of hours emergency service – report they’ve seen a 41%… Read the full story

Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, Londoners would get their gin fix from the jaws of a giant cat.

The historical reason we add tonic to gin

Victorians would insert a coin into a slot and pull down on the paw to dispense a shot of Old Tom gin straight into their mouth or tankard.

It was rancid quality, cheap alcohol, but tasted divine because of plenty of added sugar and spice.

But the recipe for Old Tom, described as the ‘missing link’, was… Read the full story

Many of the gifts you get at Christmas are crap. Whether it’s the thoughtless office Secret Santa (standard Accessorise fodder for women, a bottle of cheap booze for men), or the yearly next door neighbour gift exchange, the majority of presents are well intentioned but generic.

Sure, it’s the thought that counts. But wouldn’t it be nice to reduce the amount of crap gifts and just for once, to get something that doesn’t look like someone has re-packaged an unwanted present from last year?

Pugs are such wonderful, blessed creatures. Their curly little tails. Their squishy little noses. Their bug-eyes. Forgetting the whole inbred-breathing issues thing for one second, they truly are the cutest and cheekiest looking animals.

Which is why they make good cartoon fodder, as artist Gemma Gené has proven.

It might have been branded ‘mother’s ruin’ more than a century ago, but Old Tom is seeing a resurgence on the craft gin scene.

Old Tom Gin is making a comeback… but what is it and why was it lost?

The recipe for the sweet, spicy Victorian gin was rediscovered in 2007 by Hayman’s Distillery and since then has been a huge hit with gin connoisseurs.

Many of those experts say the strong taste of the gin makes it ideal in a cocktail as its well-rounded flavour pushes through other ingredients.
