2 days ago · Long Bob (Lob) with Bangs. The “lob,” or long bob, with bangs is an ideal choice for women who love long hair. It’s still long enough to be styled up or down and easy to manage. How to maintain: A leave-in conditioner spray can help add shine and prevent split ends. This cut looks great whether styled straight, wavy, or air-dried.

These fabulous super models are bold, bright, confident and all over sixty years of age. In a youth obsessed world, a more sophisticated portrayal of beauty is a breath of fresh air. One that is concerned more so with experience and spirit, rather than a model’s number of Instagram followers.

I was heartened to read in the April edition of efforts by the Trustees of the BBC Pension Scheme to cut its carbon footprint and save money at the same time. The article stated that this year will be the last that paper payslips are posted. I stopped mine some time ago as, like most pensioners, I can access the information via myPensionOnline. ...
When I was working for BBC News, journalists were urged to write how you would speak, and when presenting or recording commentary to speak as you would do naturally to a member of your family. We were talking to our audience as individuals, and not just reading a script. So what has happened in recent weeks? Suddenly the indefinite article ‘a’ (nor...
They think it’s all Rover! Robin Hicks’s letter about trade names mentions the directive that ‘field car’ be used instead of the brand name Land-Rover. As I understand it, there’s actually more to that story. It arose when the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth and HRH Prince Philip made their tour of Australia and New Zealand. The Rover Company had bee...

did one or two more interviews for Barry and then, only a month after we’d first met, he promoted me to being Radio 2’s Man in Cannes. Being a Barry Littlechild promotion, this went along the lines of ‘You’re going to Cannes, right? Well, instead of living in cloud cuckooland with all those other tossers, earn yourself a few quid. Take the Nagra a...
After interviewing two or three celebs, around noon I’d check in with the PRs for any official interviews. One I got was with Mickey Rourke in his hotel room for a film called Bullet. I was given the standard ten minutes; however, by the time we’d finished, the hour mark was approaching and Mickey – brutally, profanely outspoken throughout – had ch...
It was a pleasure to read Nigel Phillips’ memories of early days in BBC Television in the April issue of Prospero. He was always popular with us moles working away in the basement lair of Video Tape. His comments triggered my own recollections of working abroad. I use ‘Video Tape’ as two words because ‘Videotape’ was an Ampex trademark. It was writ...
Most of the other broadcasters present in the broadcast centre seemed to book the venue they wanted to cover on a day-by-day basis. Our Sports Department aimed for (and got) much greater productivity. We would constantly be wanting to swap our venue recording source. We dashed in and out of the central apparatus area, asking to disconnect speed ska...
We were advised to only drink bottled water as our internal systems might rebel at some of the organisms to which the local population were immune. This malady was usually referred to as ‘Montezuma’s Revenge’. One day, the jovial station engineers came in carrying ice lollies saying, ‘Para Stan y Geoff’. Being unwilling to offend our friendly and h...
They sent many messages of thanks for keeping them informed and boosting their morale. A cable to the BBC Director General said: ‘Throughout the Falklands crisis, there was praise here for the BBC, the only reliable news media to inform us what was taking place in the Islands and the South Atlantic... Reception was good and we wish to thank produce...
