[title] => For Jools: one mother’s fight for the truth about her son’s death

[description] => Ellen Roome suspects her 14-year-old was taking part in a ‘blackout challenge’ when he died. But she can’t access his online accounts – so she has given up everything to take on the social media giantsThe last day of Jools Sweeney’s life, 13 April 2022, was sunny and fun-filled. It was the Easter holidays and Jools, who was 14, had spent the day with a bunch of friends in Cheltenham, where he lived. They played football. They walked through fields to a lake and tried to reach the middle in a small wooden boat. Back home, he and a friend had pizza for dinner, then got the fire pit going and toasted marshmallows. At 8.46pm, his friend left, leaving Jools, an only child, on his own. Their laughter as they said goodbye was recorded on the Ring doorbell.Jools’s mum, Ellen Roome, had been out all day but she had been in constant contact with her son. At 9.56pm she rang him to say she would be back soon – she rang three times but there was no answer. When she arrived home, less than 20 min...

[title] => Still sport of the King: Windsor interest keeps Royal Ascot alive and kicking

[description] => As attendances at other meetings decline, the monarch’s presence makes Ascot a soft power asset for BritainAscot will mark the 200th anniversary of the first Royal procession at its showpiece race meeting next week. The intermittent noise of jets on the final approach to Heathrow will be one of the few deviations from the sights and sounds when George IV first trundled his way up the course in 1825. The king and queen will ride in the first of the horse-drawn carriages, their liveried attendants will be upright in the saddle and, as they pass the Royal enclosure, the gentlemen’s top hats will be doffed in the familiar mark of respect.There is little else, in sport or the wider world beyond, that remains just as it was in the immediate aftermath of the Napoleonic wars. Demand for the Royal Ascot experience also remains strong. Following a post-Covid surge, attendances are in decline at both the Derby and Cheltenham’s festival meeting in March. At Royal Ascot 2024, though, the year-on...

[url] => https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/may/27/homework-by-geoff-dyer-review-coming-of-age-in-70s-england
[description] => Dyer conjures conker fights, saturday jobs and teenage rampages as he charts his journey from a two-up two-down in Gloucestershire to OxfordDroll, erudite, digressive, self-deprecating, laid-back rather than standup in his humour – the Geoff Dyer voice is unmistakable. In his new book he says he’s “most at home in the idiom of the ironic switchback, an educationally enhanced version of something that still [comes] under the broad conversational church-pub known as banter”. You can hear the banter in the title of his 2003 book Yoga for People Who Can’t Be Bothered to Do It.Banter’s trickier with a childhood memoir. If you were relatively happy growing up, as he was, in Cheltenham, the only child of parents who loved him, and you want to be honest about your upbringing, then you can’t muck about too much. Dyer’s humour has never precluded seriousness – about jazz, film, photographs, paintings, DH Lawrence and much besides. But as the title suggests, Homework i...
