Burns and Porter went on to publish its own line of pub quiz books and would continue to host weekly quizzes.

Lauren James is untouchable Lioness with a Chelsea star brother who could become one of world's richest players
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THERE is no other player in the world quite like Lauren James. In terms of raw talent, she is undoubtedly one of the very best. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 6 Lauren James is a shining star of Euro 2025 despite England's turbulent start 6 James scored twice for the Lionesses in a must-win match against the Netherlands 6 Lauren is the sister of Chelsea star Reece James 6 Chelsea star James is set for immense fame both on and off the pitch 6 James is set to become one of the richest women footballers in the world Her potential was evident from a young age, with her ability even succeeding the level of some top girls' academies. And now she is one of the shining stars of Euro 2025 despite England's turbulent start. James scored twice for the Lionesses in a must-win match against the Netherlands on Wednesday, demonstrating just why Sarina Wiegman took a risk by including her in the squad while she was recovering from a hamstring injury. The 23-year-old is a game-changer. She can make something happen from nothing, with some of her international team-mates even branding her a 'cheat code' and ex-manager Emma Hayes claiming she is 'the most naturally gifted footballer' in the country. Already one of the most popular members of the England squad, she is now on track to become one of the richest players in women's football. Walk into any British supermarket this month and chances are you'll see a photo of her among some of the top brands. James, the younger sister of Chelsea men's captain Reece James, is currently partnered with the likes of Pepsi, Cadbury, Optimum Nutrition, Barclays and Sure. She is also a Nike athlete and has featured in adverts for Google Pixel. In 2023, talent manager Jonathan Shalit predicted that she would become a multi-millionaire regardless of whether England won the Women's World Cup or not.

The arrival of new head coach Sonia Bompastor at Chelsea last year elevated her game, with the former Lyon boss implementing a more aggressive pressing style of play with increased focus on responsibilities off the ball. Cruel fourth official forces England star Lauren James to turn around and look at red card in Women's World Cup showdown However, the forward faced some setbacks, including a hamstring injury which jeopardised her place at this summer's European Championship in Switzerland. Despite the scare, Wiegman took the risk by including her in the 23-player England squad - and it has already paid off. With two goals to her name, James will keep her place in the starting line-up bar any injury scares. And she could be the spark to inspire England to another major title. The Lionesses face Wales in another must-win game on Sunday. Anything less than three points would put them at risk of a premature exit. Following her latest five-star performance, James said: 'The win is massive. As long as I am helping the team in every way I can, whether that is providing or scoring, I just try and do my best each game. "Hopefully, as the games keep going on, I keep getting more involved.' Meanwhile, Wiegman has tipped her to build on her performances, adding: 'I think she can do even better. Of course, she has been out for a while but she is really back on it and that looked really good. 'She's a special player and that's what you see, and the team supports her and she supports the team and it's really nice she plays to her strengths because she can change games.'

I was at Oasis Heaton Park - if you want the old Gallaghers this isn't for you
If you miss the histrionics of the final Oasis years, the chaos on confusion on stage, this new tour may not be for you. But having now seen it three times in a week, I think there are plenty of signs Noel Gallagher is moulding the band into a sharper sounding unit. And at the heart of it is a consistent vocal performance from brother Liam. On Saturday night at the end of the show the brothers hugged and then Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear show of admiration and to tell the crowd just how much he loved Liam's performance. It was a shocking sight, the total opposite of their old rows on stage. This symbolic show of respect - Liam raises Noel's arm aloft to start the shows too - means they are surely starting to get on better behind the scenes too. Noel is loving working with Liam's voice again. And perhaps he is now relaxing into the gigs a bit more as we saw some extra little guitar ad-libs, with longer intros and outros of songs are on display compared to the Cardiff comeback. To my ears the band's keyboard player Christian Madden has also been turned up on notch on some songs to good effect. And new drummer Joey Waronker has found his feet and the band is sounding tighter. 'What a f**king joy,' Liam said towards the end of the gig as they prepared to sing Wonderwall, and he wasn't wrong. If he keeps his end of the bargain and rests now and can keep his voice on track, Noel can tinker with the sound and the wall of guitars and the gigs will only get better. Would I like more stage interaction? Of course. And some of the lines on stage are now pre-planned which doesn't feel very Oasis. But the Gallaghers have grown up, and like their mature fans who can only manage to jump up and down for the odd song in three these days, this style of set is what they need to make things work. And if Liam protects his vocal chords, little by little Noel is going to make Oasis even better. Saturday night also saw Richard Ashcroft change up his set list in the support slot, bringing in Weeping Willow. Fans who are going to more than one Oasis show, myself included, would love to see Noel do this but I'm not sure it's very likely, he will concentrate on getting this set right, they will want to stick to the ones that worked best in rehearsals. So roll on the next two hour singalong at Heaton Park. And long may the Gallaghers love in continue.

Oasis's photographer opens new exhibition of the band's photos
Noel Gallagher once called Jill Furmanovsky "the best photographer ever".From Oasis's early concerts to the height of their powers, she was granted unprecedented access to chronicle one of rock and roll's most creative yet combustible now the woman dubbed 'Oasis's unofficial official photographer' has a new exhibition of her pictures at the Lucy Bell Gallery in St Leonards-on-Sea, East Sussex, which runs until the end of Oasis 1994-2009, it coincides with the ongoing and much-hyped reunion of the Manchester group Furmanovsky admits to "having loved since the start". She said: "The first time I saw them was at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in 1994."I found them very intriguing because there was tremendous excitement at the concert, almost hysteria."Yet when the singer wasn't singing he'd just sit on the drum riser."It was most peculiar and yet the atmosphere was electric, so I was intrigued."Furmanovsky's next assignment was photographing the band as they worked on the video for their single Live Forever."They were respectful to me because I had photographed a lot of their heroes," she said. "I think Noel had an instinct that he needed someone to document what was happening." And from her unique viewpoint Furmanovsky captured the band's highs and lows, including a tension-filled photo shoot in Paris."On the day when we were supposed to meet up and do the shoot Liam couldn't be found in the hotel," she said."It transpired he hadn't gone to bed that night and had been in the bar drinking. "I had to send in an assistant to go and fetch him and he still had a glass of wine in his hand when we went off in the bus. "Noel was not in a good mood at that point."And, while Oasis would play giant concerts at Glastonbury and Knebworth, they eventually split in acrimony in 2009. Last August though, Noel and Liam announced Oasis were getting back together, revealing details of a major UK tour this said: "I'm thrilled, the same as any fan."They've kept their souls and their integrity as artists, and I think that's what people respond to."She added she will be at the band's upcoming Wembley Stadium is more, she will be taking her camera with her.
