The Newcastle United Cup Final Bus Parade – I Was There!
What a day it was, Saturday 29th March 2025 will go down in history. A stupid thing to say would be it was busier than I thought it would be, but it was.
Here’s all the photos, and how the experience was.
What’s the difference between eau de toilette and parfum?
If that’s something you’ve asked yourself (or the Internet) you’re not alone.
Remember back in the day when guys used to just buy a bottle of aftershave and that was all, it was pretty simple.
These days there’s cologne, eau de toilette, eau de parfum, cologne, elixir and even a couple of others.
Are these just buzzwords, or is there a difference?
It’s true they are not the same, and it’s not such a difficult thing to understand.
So what is the difference between eau de toilette, parfum, cologne and eau de parfum?
When it comes to buying a suit, the first question you’ll be asking yourself is:
What colour suit should I buy?
It’s a good question, and it can be hard to answer. If you’ve never bought a suit before you may feel intimidated by the sheer number of colours and shades which are available.
I’ve bought several suits over the years, as well as blazers and other formal wear.
If you’re looking to buy your first suit and wonder what colour it should be, here’s my tips for you.

This eau de parfum is such a fantastic fragrance, and is perfect for the colder months of Autumn and Winter. I’ve owned it for several years but it’s never been a solid favourite of mine.
That’s kind of changed in recent times as I’ve rediscovered this gem.
Here’s what this aftershave is all about.
Sports jacket, blazer and a suit jacket. What are the differences? Are they the same?
They do look similar, but there’s a few differences between the three smart tailored jackets that you might not know about, and that’s OK.
You probably have a suit, which comes with a smart jacket. If you want to dress smart without wearing the full thing, you might ask yourself:
Can you wear the suit jacket as a blazer?
So, let’s talk about these three jackets, all smart, but are all in fact different in a number of ways.
Here’s the differences between sports jackets, blazers and suits.
We won the Carabao Cup!
It’s the day after and it’s still hard to believe. 70 years since the last domestic cup and 56 years since a European trophy, Newcastle United are the Carabao Cup winners.
