For those that don’t live in the UK, etc… it’s about a show called Red Dwarf and a character called Smeg Head or Smeeeeeg Heeeeeead… you had to be there.

Winter (Olympics) is coming…



When you’re a rowing two-time Olympic gold medalist, live by the river and have just married a TV nature presenter, life is sweet.

Great to see Sir Andy Murray get the plaudits he deserves while still top of his game.
