X Factor supremo Simon Cowell is currently sunbathing next to me. Well, actually, let me rephrase that. Simon Cowell is currently sunbathing on a yacht that I can see. According to one of the locals here at the holiday resort, I’m staying at. I haven’t actually seen old Hairy Moobs himself, as I didn’t pack a telescope. So I don’t…

How horses hardly ever sleep

It’s remarkable how little some animals sleep. A horse, for example, only sleeps for 2.9 hours a day. That’s just 12% of the day. Compare that to how long a human sleeps – 8 hours a day. Or 33% of the day. Isn’t that amazing? Horses are almost always awake when we’re sleeping. Not saying we’re lazy, but perhaps we…

How Do Notable Jockeys With One Ride at a Track Perform?

Charades with the Queen

Spare a thought for Meghan Markle this Christmas. Not only does she have to spend Christmas with the Queen – as she’s now Prince Harry’s fiancée. (Probably a bit of a nerve-wracking experience anyway.) But she has to play charades with Her Majesty. It’s her favourite game, apparently, and the Royals spend their Christmas Eve playing it. Imagine trying to…
