    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The big news in English football is that Manchester City (a team based in the city of Manchester, funnily enough) is in deep trouble.

Reader Calum Spence says the once illustrious club must now squirm in agony under a suitably stringent punishment. “Let them play in the Scottish Premiership for one entire year,” cackles Calum malevolently. “That’ll teach ‘em.” Madonna, the legendary pop diva, appeared

    Read excerpt

    Just about to pay for his drink in a coffee shop, reader Bob Wilson accidentally dropped his credit card on the floor. He spent the next thirty seconds scrabbling about as he attempted to pick it up. “Do you want me to get that for you?” asked the lady who was next in the queue.
