Walk On Girls Given Their Marching Orders

Last week it was announced that the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC) would be stopping the use of “walk-on girls” during matches. For those who aren’t familiar with what a walk-on girl is, it’s basically a beautiful woman, usually scantily clad who escorts the male players to the stage. It’s not unlike the ring girls of boxing

Comment: Hitting Another Person Is A Crime, There’s Really No Excuse For Smacking Children

When it comes to parenting I certainly don’t want to tell anyone how to do it, especially since having a five year old myself seemingly doesn’t count for many people – apparently he’s not old enough for me to have any real experience. But dealing with Logan and his quirks isn’t all the experience I

People Power Does Work: So Why Are The People Of Northern Ireland Silent?

In this time of uncertainty in Northern Ireland it’s hard to know, as a citizen, what we really have control over.
