Believe it or not, there was a time not that long ago when the TV advert breaks were sometimes better than the shows themselves. Long before we all started skipping ads on streaming platforms, we were treated to catchy jingles, weird mascots, and unforgettable one-liners that somehow still live rent-free in our heads. The early 2000s were truly a golden age of UK advertising chaos.

After discovering a lump on her breast last summer, 59-year-old Donna McMenamin underwent a biopsy and mammogram in July. The Andersonstown woman felt a sense of relief after the results of the mammogram came back clear.

There was nothing quite like the excitement of a school trip. You’d rock up to the gates in your own clothes (which always felt weird), clutching a packed lunch your mum made at the crack of dawn, and already buzzing to find out who you’d be sitting beside on the bus. The teachers would try their best to keep things calm, but everyone knew that chaos was coming once that bus pulled out. For most of us, it was the first real adventure outside the classroom.

Over the past week, a debate has been rumbling on about whether or not the Prime Minister is a unionist. It followed an exchange in the Commons, where South Antrim MP Robin Swann asked Sir Keir Starmer to say plainly whether he was committed to the Union. The Prime Minister didn’t give a straight answer; instead, he spoke about the Good Friday Agreement and his role in helping to implement it during his time working in Northern Ireland.
