Here are ten important things that you should make sure to discuss with your future spouse before tying the knot.
It was always going to be the case that the role of police and crime commissioner would develop quickly – it had to.

Television is a powerful thing. TV quiz fans will undoubtedly need no introduction to Paul Sinha, one of the four “Chasers” (i.e. regular general knowledge experts) on ITV daytime quiz The Chase. Indeed, even without the distinctive white suit he wears on the programme, a show of hands early on at this Thursday evening comedy performance at the Exeter Phoenix made clear that he was far better known for The Chase than anything else. In fact, Paul is an extremely experienced stand up and has been performing throughout the world for nineteen years. Drawing heavily on his own experiences on...
