Anyone here pick up a copy of ‘Jeff Wayne’s Musical Version Of War Of The Worlds’? It was released in 1978 and based on the original radio broadcast by H.G Wells. The thundering sound of the machines and the brilliant soundtrack used to give us goosebumps. Not to mention features by celebrities such as Phil Lynott of Thin Lizzy and Actor Richard Burton. This one was an absolute classic!

Grandmas are seriously the best.
They’re sweet, warm, giving, but also funny and wise! However, gone are the days when grannies conjured images of old-lady shoes, spending days baking cakes and knitting yarn.
As you all know, grandmas can be cool too! And this is proven true by Aussie nan Judy Fisher, better known as ‘Gangsta Granny’. She has recently become a TikTok sensation through clips of her and her grandson’s silly antics. The cheeky nan has won the hearts of over 1.7 million users on TikTok, sharing clips of her ‘gangster persona’. Check out her and her grandson’s mischievous escapades by clicking the button below.
