6 d. ago The Orange and Other Poems by Wendy Cope audiobook review – an understated greatest hits collection

Read and contextualised by the poet herself, these gentle gems have an extra tang of immediacyA greatest hits collection from one of Britain’s best-loved poets, Wendy Cope’s The Orange contains themes of love, friendship, family and mortality. The 1992 title poem – which recently enjoyed a second life on TikTok, with users showing off their fruit-based tattoos – finds the author buying a large orange, sharing it with two friends and concluding: “I love you. I’m glad I exist.” After the Lunch is about falling in love on Waterloo Bridge while “high on the charm and the drink”, while Being Boring hails the virtues of a drama-free life (“No news is good news, and long may it last”).Cope is the reader, her delivery gently understated and frequently deadpan. In Loss, she reflects on the end of a relationship in which the woman “went through hell. His absence wasn’t a problem, but the corkscrew had gone as well.” Sometimes she breaks from the narration to share the context of a p...

But his quest for success was built on dubious fights and a fatal disregard for his own healthAs 2023 drew to a close, Paul Bamba was a marginal club fighter with a record of five wins and three losses, compiled against mediocre opposition.

On 21 December 2024 he was credited with defeating Rogelio Medina Luna in a fight for the World Boxing Association ‘gold’ cruiserweight championship when Medina quit on his stool after the sixth round.Bamba was living his dream. But the dream appears to have been a fantasy built in significant measure on fixed fights. Continue reading...

6 d. ago The Life List review – overly neat Netflix weepie leaves dry eyes

Carry-On’s Sofia Carson is a young woman whose mother sends her messages beyond the grave in a mushy PS I Love You-esque dramaThere are big, all-consuming emotions contained within the cosy Netflix weepie The Life List, a film about grief, family, love, dreams, heartbreak and the courage to strive for the life you truly want rather than the one you’ve settled for. Based on the bestselling novel by Lori Nelson Spielman, it’s a proudly heart-over-head confection and given how the platform has become a reliable provider of movies and shows aimed at younger women who have been underserved elsewhere, it’ll probably find its audience.But writer-director Adam Brooks, who knows this world better than most, having been involved in sturdy star-led studio films such as Definitely, Maybe; Wimbledon; and the hugely underrated Meg Ryan romcom French Kiss, can’t quite squeeze the tears or cheers out of material that so desperately wants them. It’s a film about experiences many of us should be able...
