So long, farewell...
Posted on 2:42pm Thursday 15th May 2008
After 20 months reporting on all the goings-on in Haringey I am spreading my wings and leaving the newspaper.

Are we going to make it another Blue day?
Posted on 8:27am Friday 9th May 2008
With election fever faded to a dull drone, my attention has turned to another, dare I say 'more important', title race.

The king is dead
Posted on 12:30pm Saturday 3rd May 2008
As I covered the elections at Alexandra Palace, what I didn’t expect is how much I would actually care, or how passionate I would actually feel about who won this election or about politics in general.

The tragedy of a much-loved TV presenter
Posted on 3:07pm Wednesday 16th April 2008
The world of celebrity isn’t something I usually take part in. Whilst I do sometimes dabble in the odd fly-on-the-wall documentary following the c-lists as they go about their daily lives, I just don’t really care about the every day dramas of anyone who’s anyone.

Still singing Spurs praises

The Black Cat that went Lilywhite
Posted on 1:32pm Friday 29th February 2008
When I was no bigger than a kidney bean, the football team I was going to support was decided even before my sex was.

A blue day for the blues
Posted on 8:09am Monday 25th February 2008
Despite being a lifelong Chelsea fan there’s no denying who deserved to win yesterday’s Carling Cup match against Tottenham at Wembley.

Home sweet Haringey
Posted on 1:41pm Monday 18th February 2008
I have just returned from a three day stint at the not so sunnier climbs of our third-cousin-once-removed paper, the Northern Echo in Darlington.
