In this entry, I share a video we made with the kids where they dropped Mentos in Diet Coke.

I recently finished reading Natives: Race and Class in the Ruins of Empire, by Akala. Having taken a few days to collect my thoughts, I have written this review of the book I declare is 'an incendiary dissection of the problems affecting modern society.'
Newcastle's defeat to Chelsea set off a tidal wave of panic among the supporters.

Chapter Three: Newcastle United, Steve Bruce, Joelinton, Website Updates and Call the Midwife13/1/2021 Steve Bruce's Newcastle are epitomised by his handling of Joelinton, with defeat at Sheffield United the final straw.
