Gogglebox gardens: Pete and Sophie Sandiford & more’s outdoor havens you never see

Published by skeptic

Fans of Channel 4’s hit show Gogglebox are used to seeing inside the cast members’ homes, particularly their stylish living rooms, while they film themselves hilariously critiquing the week’s TV. But viewers hardly ever get to see the stars’ outdoor areas and gardens on the show. Fortunately, some of the cast often share glimpses of their home life on social media, so fans can get an insight into what their houses and gardens look like when not filming.  Take a look at some of your favourite Gogglebox stars’ outdoor havens you never get to see on screen, including the Malones and the Siddiquis… © Instagram Ellie Warner Ellie Warner and partner Nat live at home in Leeds with their young son, Ezra.

Pete McCloskey dies: Antiwar candidate took on Nixon, co-founded Earth Day

Pete McCloskey dies: Antiwar candidate took on Nixon, co-founded Earth Day

Published by skeptic

When Pete McCloskey challenged President Nixon for the Republican nomination in 1972, his defeat was nothing short of stunning. Only one of the 1,348 delegates at the Miami convention voted for McCloskey, and nobody gave a speech on his behalf. Running to protest the war in Vietnam, the California congressman never expected to win, but he had no idea his short-lived campaign would cost him so many friends. Outside a basement meeting room at the Fontainebleau Hotel, someone said he must be the loneliest man in town, and he agreed. “It’s always lonely at conventions like this,” McCloskey, haggard and hoarse, told reporters. “But then Patrick Henry was lonely when he talked about liberty.” McCloskey was no revolutionary, but, as a decorated Marine veteran who wanted U.S. troops out of Vietnam and as the first congressman to urge consideration of Nixon’s impeachment on the House floor, he led a life of vigorous dissent. A Stanford-educated attorney and an ardent outdoorsman, Paul Norton “Pete” McCloskey Jr. died Wednesday at his home in Winters, Calif., said longtime …

Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter It seems that plans for Pete Davidson and Colin Jost’s decommissioned Staten Island Ferry are finally underway. Back in January 2022, the Saturday Night Live comedians made headlines when they purchased the vessel for $280,000. The pair had teamed up with real estate agent and comedy club owner Paul Italia to purchase the boat, named the John F Kennedy, after it went up for auction. Since then, it appeared that plans to turn the 277-foot-long boat into a “live entertainment event space, with comedy, music, art, et cetera” had stalled. That is, until architect Ron Castellano confirmed that renovations on the Staten Island Ferry will begin soon. In an interview with Curbed published on 22 March, Castellano – who owns the New York City-based architecture firm Studio Castellano – revealed exactly what fans can expect from the JFK Ferry project, which has a …

Caitlin Clark now the overall leading NCAA basketball scorer, breaks ‘Pistol Pete’ Maravich’s record of 3,667 career points

Published by skeptic

Two weeks after she broke the record for women, Caitlin Clark has become NCAA Division I basketball’s overall top scorer, period. The Iowa Hawkeyes star went into Sunday’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes needing 17 points to break “Pistol Pete” Maravich’s record of 3,667 career points, which stood for more than 50 years. And with a second-quarter free throw, she became the top-scoring player — man or woman — in NCAA basketball history. Clark, 22, earned the women’s record Feb. 15 when she scored eight points in a game against Michigan and passed Kelsey Plum’s 3,527 career points in her career, which ended in 2017. She went on that night to score a career-high 49 points.   “I’m just really grateful, honestly, to be able to be here and make so many of my dreams come true,” Clark said after the history-making game, which Iowa won, 106-89. She put up 33 points against Minnesota on Wednesday to cement her place atop the all-time career points among women to play for major colleges. The record …

Iowa’s Caitlin Clark Breaks Pete Maravich’s NCAA Division I Scoring Record

Published by skeptic

Caitlin Clark stood alone at the free-throw line on Sunday and made the foul shots that put her atop the all-time NCAA Division I scoring chart. The flash and pizzazz of her game have made her the biggest name in all of college basketball. Yet it was two free throws after a technical foul that pushed Clark past the late Pete Maravich’s 54-year-old record in No. 6 Iowa’s 93-83 win over No. 2 Ohio State. Clark entered the game in Iowa City needing 18 points to pass Maravich’s total of 3,667, amassed in just 83 games over three seasons at LSU (1967-70). She finished with 35 to run her total to 3,685 in 130 games. “Just to be in the same realm of all these players who have been so successful, whether it’s Pete or Kelsey Plum or Lynette Woodard — all these people have just given so much to the game,” Clark said. “Hopefully somebody comes after me and breaks my records and I can be there supporting them.” Best known for her long …

Pete Doherty has revealed he has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as he battles with ongoing health issues. The Libertines singer and guitarist, 44, has been open about his struggle with alcohol and drugs over the years. In an interview with the Guardian’s Saturday magazine, Doherty said he gave up “the main poisons” and his health improved. “Then you get told alcohol and cheese and sugar are just as bad and you were healthier when you were on heroin.” He admitted he was “a bit of a glutton”, adding: “It’s not a joke. I’ve been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. “And at the moment I’m lacking the discipline to tackle cholesterol.” Doherty also reflected on his relationship with his father, saying: “I love him so much and I feel that a big part of me changing the way I’m living my life, particularly since I got married and stopped taking heroin, is to be accepted by him. “I think it’s too much for him to see past.” Read more from Sky News:BBC apologises for …
