Happy Halloween!
We hope you’ve got some boo-tiful plans for Halloween. Perhaps you’re getting your ghoulfriends round for a spooktacular party? Creeping it real with some hauntingly good costumes.

The End of British Summer Time for Another Year
Once again, summer comes to an end. You can really feel it in the air now can’t you? It’s turning cold, dark and wintery. It’s not all bad though, because the clocks go back this Sunday so you’ll get an extra hour in bed and it should be a little lighter when you get up too. Have you ever wondered why we do this thing of putting the clocks backward and forward? The idea first came about in the early 1900s when it was proposed that the clocks would be put forward 20 minutes a week during e

Bill has got to

The first series of Stranger Things was a massive hit. When it first came out, you kind of felt special when you discovered it. There was no big advertising campaign for the series, it just didn’t need it. Word soon spread, and no doubt, someone told you about it, or mentioned it on social media so you gave it a try and got hooked too. When the trailer was released back in February, we were led to believe that the new series would be released on Halloween, but you’re in for a treat becaus

It's Snoop Dogg's Birthday!
Happy Birthday Snoop! Snoop wasn't born Snoop Dogg, he's not the beloved son of Mr and Mrs Dogg, no, he was born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. named after his father, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr. Certainly changing your name to Snoop Dogg would make filling out forms much easier! He was nicknamed Snoopy by his parents as they thought he looked like the cartoon dog... how cute! Snoop has been musical all his life. As a young boy he would sing and play the piano at his local Baptist Church. He got

What's great about the Q Awards is that you get to have a say by voting in the seven public categories
