Andy Winter on why cricket is such a simple game

My ability as a cricketer is the polar opposite to my love of the game. One of my favourite Peanuts cartoon strips has Charlie Brown and Linus lying on a hilltop looking at the clouds. Charlie Brown asks Linus what pictures he can see in the clouds.

Will Harris rekindles the embers of an old flame

A few weeks after I bump into old flame S at a work event, I decide I will acquiesce and meet him for a drink. No one is more surprised at this turn of events than me. After all, when our previous entanglement unravelled, so that he could go trotting back to his ex boyfriend, I marked the occasion by sending him a furious opus of a text message, which rambled on for several adjective-filled paragraphs and caused the entire Orange network to collapse with nervous exhaustion for the rest of the day.

Tasha Dhanraj goes to her first hen do

I went to my first hen do this weekend. In a week’s time, my cousin is marrying the man she has been with since she was 15 and so all her friends and my family gathered to give her a proper send off.

A stripper did arrive at around midnight, but I had long since gone home. I couldn’t be expected to stay up past 11pm after my feisty evening of Pimm’s and hot chocolate.

Ruby Grimshaw looks back on her time in Borneo

It has taken me several days to come down from my visit to Borneo. I am completely orangutaned out. When I say that I was reading the same book on the plane back as the one I had started when flying out, and that the large bottle of gin L and I bought in Dubai was hardly touched at the end of the two weeks, it will give you some idea of how action packed this ‘holiday’ was.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
