Harry waves his magic wand
Harry Potter and his wizard ways continue
to cast a spell over the land. June saw
scenes of near hysteria when Harry Potter
and the Order of the Phoenix (book five)
was finally released to its magic-mad fan
base. And with next year's release of the
film version of Harry Potter and the
Prisoner of Azkaban, the spell is unlikely to
break any time soon.

Text crazy
It's official, the UK has the fittest thumbs
in the entire world, and the country's
gone text message crazy. On average
Britons send 50 million text messages a
day and the figure just keeps on rising.
So, if you don't know what C U L8TR
stands for, then maybe you need to join
the text revolution and give your thumbs
some exercise.

Walk on the wild side
Whether it's to exotic far-flung destinations,
the sunnier climes of mainland
Europe or to the bed and breakfast in the
next town, the British love to travel. Going
out is the new staying in and the British
are heading out in ever increasing numbers.
So take a trip to UK shores and see if
you catch the travel bug.

Are we still good Neighbours?
Holly Valance's dreams of becoming the
next Kylie are fading. Having burst onto
the UK scene with a couple of hit records,
Valance's star has started to fade and the
hit factory has dried up. Can she burst
back or will a new young Aussie
contender to the pop crown take her
place? Only time will tell...

It's a grape life
The traditional UK pint has suffered a
setback. It's no longer the UK's favourite
tipple - that accolade has been snatched by
wine. It seems there's no stopping our love
of the humble grape. If you don't know your
Pinot Grigio from your Sauvignon Blanc it's
time to uncork a bottle, put down the pint
and get with the in-crowd.

David gives the UK the boot
Football fan or not, the departure of David
Beckham and wife Victoria has left a gap in
UK news pages. Picking up your favourite
gossip mag won't be the same without
David's latest hairstyle or Victoria's latest
designer outfit. It may be Viva España for the
Beckham's, but the UK won't be the same
without our favourite glitzy celebrity couple.

Novelty pop tunes
From the Cheeky Girls to the Fast Food
Rockers, the nation seems to be gripped

us must be buying them too, and that
means you out there! It's definitely not
cool but will they ever stop? Come back S
Club and Steps, all is forgiven!
