I say Jagger; you say Mick. You say Jagger; I say Joseph. Why, you might ask? Because the failed businessman from Yorkshire, born in September 1830, deserves his status as a massive winner in Casino roulette folklore. Let me explain… Joseph Hobson Jagger broke the bank in Monte Carlo. He experienced one of those ‘sombre moments’ when the croupier had to place a black cloth over the wheel.

But one thing they undoubtedly have in common is they have bucketfuls of love and will go that extra mile for their loved ones. Depending where you hail from, Granny can be Grandma, Nanna, Nonna, Oma, Abuela, Grand-mère, Babushka or YaYa, to name but a few monikers. Seemingly, the Royal great grandkids of the…
What do Malta and Finland have in common apart from their apparent love of all things to do with the Eurovision Song Contest? Finland won with Lordi in 2006; Malta is still waiting for the ecstatic moment. Now don’t hold your breath on that one! ‘Not a lot’, to use Paul Daniels’ catchphrase. The hot rock versus the cold Peninsula are miles apart in different parts of Europe. One in the sunny Mediterranean, you know that little speck on the…

What’s one word that fits the bill for an activity, risking a sum of money substantial or not, on a result, in the express hope that you make a quid or two? Ok I hear you all loud and clear shout out the word “Gamble”. Most of us apart from the saintly few have a gamble on something that takes our fancy. The top three countries where…
