Norfolk’s vast sandy beaches are its chief draw for visitors: even on the busiest summer day there is always space for games, kite-flying or a family picnic in the dunes. Boating, crabbing, digging for cockles and wading in creeks provides hours of entertainment for all. But there’s much more to Norfolk’s coast than its beaches.
Every day of the week, 24-hours a day, there’s always something going on in the city that never sleeps.

Having it all is most definitely a good thing but it can also be a somewhat overwhelming – where to start? London has so much to offer, for all tastes, budgets and cultural persuasions.

Copenhagen always ranks highly in surveys of the world’s best cities, and little wonder. Size certainly helps: it’s big enough to have world-class museums, restaurants and attractions; small enough to make them easily accessible.

But there are plenty of other experiences to keep you happily busy too, from picnicking on board a little boat as you float through the city’s

He’s got a James Bond suit on, a swanky pair of loafers, and a badass watch to back it. He’s the life of the party… that is, if you ignore the tattered belt with the gigantic buckle. I’ve seen it happen, and it’s a classic case of “so close but so far.” That’s where the
*Sniff, sniff.* Smell that? Yeah, that’s the guy who just walked past you at the bar who’s now chatting that cute girl up. He’s sucking up all the attention. Why? Because he smells like a man. Fragrances, when chosen correctly, can take you from a 7 to a 10 in seconds. Having a proprietary aroma,
Sweaty feet, gross. Just like body odor, going for a #2, and earwax, sweaty feet are a natural, albeit disgusting, bodily function. It’s just a part of life as a guy.

Blue Bloods latest hiatus is short. After a week-long preemption, the Reagans will be back with what appears to be one of their most intriguing plots. So far, CBS is short on details for Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 7. What little has been released suggests that Danny and Baez have a big case that
It didn’t look like it would ever happen, but Eric Brady is finally beginning to wake up. Sloan’s behavior went from annoying to unconscionable when she went along with a scheme to steal the newborn and pay off a sleazy doctor to tell Nicole he was dead, all because she wanted to engineer a split
