Frankie Sandford and Dougie Poynter together after all

The singer from The Saturdays who split-up from McFly’s Dougie Poynter not too long ago is apparently going to be doing the next best thing: the two will be getting married. This is what a source related about Frankie Sandford’s turn-around: “They split up because their hectic schedules meant they were finding it hard to find time to see each other. But while they were apart they spent most of the time on the phone to each other

Johnny Dowd – “Wake Up The Snakes”

It’s interesting and a somewhat sad commentary on music blogs that someone like Johnny Dowd , whose new record was released in March of this year, is nowhere to be found.

How To Deliver A Funny Best Man Speech That Won’t Cause Offense

The following is a guest post from David Doran , an expert on best man speeches and is the co-founder of BestManApp.com the web app for best men. Enjoy! Everyone expects a best man to be funny, the humor in his speech may be the yardstick with which the success of his speech is measured.  However as best man you need to ensure that the humor does not come at a cost.  If you make jokes about the past love lives of the bride and groom for example, you will not only lose the support of the wedding guests but you will almost certainly lose the friendship of your best friend (or brother), the groom.
