The Tapcracker taps into 15 years of Lady Hoofers
The Lady Hoofers Tap Ensemble marks its 15th anniversary season December 13 to 14 with The Tapcracker, a Nutcracker-inspired, tap-driven spin that swaps sugar plums for shuffle-ball-changes. File under culture that actually sounds fun, finally a Nutcracker where the mice have rhythm.
Ospreys vs Connacht, live updates and how to watch
Mark Jones’ Ospreys host Connacht at Brewery Field this afternoon in the Challenge Cup, with kick-off time, TV details, and minute-by-minute scoring on tap. Expect grit, rain, and the occasional flash of backline sanity, a very Welsh holiday card.
In blackout-weary Kyiv, a corridor of light for families
Amid rolling power cuts and air-raid alerts, a brightly lit path at Ukraine’s main exhibition center offers parents and children a rare pocket of calm. Small respite matters when the everyday is anything but.
Zelensky’s London talks aim for security-first peace, no rewards for aggression
Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Downing Street on Monday, part of a Washington-backed push for a plan that puts Ukraine’s security and self-determination first. London signals any deal must come with real guarantees, potentially a coalition peacekeeping presence if a ceasefire holds, while Moscow rejects allied troops and still demands territory. Progress, officials caution, depends on genuine Russian commitment to a durable peace, peace, yes, but with the locks changed.
Is this England’s worst Christmas market
One of the most popular festive destinations outside London is earning the lump-of-coal label, proof that footfall is not the same as festive. Note to planners, more fairy lights do not fix soggy pretzels and sad mulled wine.
London man jailed for grooming girls, 12 and 14
Tye Hunt, 23, has been sentenced to prison for using Snapchat to coerce two young girls into sexual activity. A serious case, and a reminder that safeguarding online is not optional.
Consumer Reports: older Teslas rank last for reliability, Cybertruck recalls keep stacking
Among 5 to 10-year-old cars, Tesla placed 26th out of 26 with a score of 31, trailing even Jeep, while Lexus scored 77 and Toyota 73. Across the last three model years Tesla jumps to 9th, thanks largely to the Model Y’s 81. The Cybertruck remains a rolling contradiction, hyped as apocalypse-proof yet scoring 34 with ten recalls in under two years, including panels detaching due to bad glue, power loss mid-drive, and a sticky accelerator, plus that demo unit that died in a parking lot. Disruption is cute until your door decides it wants a different owner.
Injury opens door for Wales hopeful, timely boost for Steve Tandy
A serious injury elsewhere creates game time for a 24-year-old short on minutes, a practical lift for Tandy’s defensive plans ahead of the Six Nations. No one roots for injuries, but opportunity must be taken when it arrives.
