This morning, at precisely 07:45 a.m. on the 10th of September 2026, an extraordinary event unfolded in the skies above Northmoor and Coldhurst, heading straight towards the heart of Oldham Centre. Now, we’re used to our humble airspace being a parade route for budget airlines and holiday charters—planes so common that even the local pigeons don’t bother looking up. But today was different. Today, an Emirates A380, the flying cruise ship of the skies, graced us with its presence.

It was a majestic sight, the kind of thing you’d expect to see over Dubai or maybe Stockport (since they get all the fancy flyovers being so close to the airport), but certainly not Oldham. My trusty Samsung phone—bless its sleepy little circuits—wasn’t quite awake enough to capture the moment in high definition, but it tried its best. The result? A slightly blurry masterpiece that could either be a giant aircraft or a very determined cloud.

So, has anyone else ever spotted an Emirates A380 over Oldham, or did I just witness one of the rarest aerial cameos of all time? If so, I’d like to think it was the aircraft’s way of saying, “Oldham, you deserve a bit of glamour too.”

Breaking news: Willow Tree Therapies is branching out—literally—with the launch of their brand-new Fascia Release Treatments. Perfect for those who prefer a gentler, more precise manual therapy that focuses on improving tissue mobility and banishing discomfort, this is nothing like the deep, bone-rattling pressure of traditional massage. And here’s the juicy scoop—I had the pleasure (and oh, it was a pleasure) of trying it myself as part of one of Laura’s recent packages, and let me tell you, it was like melting into a cloud made of pure relaxation.

There are four fabulous options to choose from:
First up, the Flash Express—a 30-minute targeted session for those who can’t sit still but still want a taste of the magic. Then there’s the 60-minute session, perfect for letting your body exhale and sink into the bliss without feeling like you’re in a race against time. Next is the mighty 90-minute treatment with added deep tissue work, designed to hunt down and defeat those pesky knots hiding deep in your tissue network. And finally, the pièce de résistance: a 90-minute session paired with targeted yoga therapy. Imagine stretching, bending, and basically training to be Superwoman—yes, you heard right—yoga included in a treatment for the very first time here.

In short, it’s the kind of self-care that makes your muscles sigh with gratitude and might even convince you to book your next session before you’ve left the building.

Fascia release massage (often called myofascial release) is a hands-on technique that aims to reduce tension and improve movement by working with the body’s fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, nerves, and organs.

What you can expect from a hands on session-
✨Gentle to moderate sustained pressure rather than deep kneading.
✨ I may hold pressure on a specific area for 30–120 seconds.

**When to avoid it
Check with a healthcare professional before trying myofascial release if you have:
A recent fracture or major injury.
An active infection or open wound.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
Severe osteoporosis.
Certain bleeding disorders or if you’re taking blood-thinning medication**

I’ve been qualified in fascia release therapy for a long time but I’ve been growing my skills and confidence in it until I wanted to officially provide stand alone treatments.

Philips Park Parkrun Event 167 | Saturday 5th September 2026

Nestled conveniently between the National Cycling Centre, Co-op Live Arena, and the Etihad Campus, Philips Park Parkrun is as easy to get to as it is to accidentally sign up for when you thought you were just out for a stroll. With buses and trams aplenty, there’s no excuse—unless you’re a sloth, in which case staying home is perfectly acceptable.

This free, inclusive 5k happens every Saturday at 9am, offering something for everyone: walking, jogging, jeffing, running, or volunteering if your legs prefer a more stationary role. Today, the human half of the household braved the scenic three-lap course, while the sloth opted for a duvet-based training plan. The route includes a hill you’ll heroically conquer twice on laps 1 and 2, before mercifully skipping it on lap 3.

Starting as a Parkwalker alongside a trainee firefighter, the day took a plot twist after lap 1 when the Run Director called for backup to hand out finish tokens—a job that’s basically the glue holding the parkrun universe together. My walk became a stationary sprint as I juggled tokens, managed the finish funnel, and moonlighted as number checker. Oh I forgot I helped with post event close down too. Jack of All trades master off none.

By the end, 166 finishers crossed the line. Had I kept walking instead of token-wrangling, the tally would have been a satisfyingly neat 167 finishers for Event 167. Alas, the comedic symmetry was sacrificed for the greater good.

🐦🍺 Peiter the Pigeon has some serious questions.

Who drank the Budweiser?

Some of his mates are sleeping, some are resting, while others appear to be waiting for the next booze delivery from the good people of East Manchester.

Peiter isn't saying the pigeon gang had a night out… but the evidence is literally lying beside him. 😂🍺

At this point, Peiter is beginning to suspect that this wasn't their first bottle. 😂

An exhilarating new video has just landed, starring none other than Slowy, the world’s most laid-back astronaut-in-training. His mission? Journey to the great unknown of space. The catch? The official mission invitation has arrived in a baffling 104 pieces, like the galaxy’s most tedious jigsaw puzzle. Slowy must painstakingly piece it together, one sluggish move at a time, before wriggling into a custom, sloth-sized space suit that looks like it was stitched together by an interstellar tailor with a sense of humor.

This slow-burn spectacle is a match made in heaven for fans of unedited, ultra-relaxed content—a cosmic odyssey where the countdown to launch might just take longer than the actual trip.

The Sloth Scoop – Issue 1 Breaking News

In a shocking twist to centuries of tradition, Christmas Day has been officially rescheduled from its long-held spot on 25th December to the much earlier date of 25th October. Why? Because Morrisons Supermarket, clearly in cahoots with Father Christmas himself, began stocking chocolate advent calendars before summer’s tan had even faded. This festive faux pas was spotted by our roving reporter on 31st August 2026. Apparently, Santa and his reindeer have crash-landed not in the North Pole, but on a distant Lindt galaxy known as Biscoff Milk, dropping a cheeky Malteser-sized hint that the Christmas countdown now leaps ahead of Halloween’s ghostly shenanigans and beats Guy Fawkes Night’s fireworks to the punch. Ho-ho-ho comes early this year—whether you’re ready or not!

If we made you blink twice, good — Christmas hasn’t moved. Retailers are just time‑travelling again to grab our money before the pumpkins even get a chance.

Manchester Pride Parade 2026 brought a whirlwind of behind-the-scenes hilarity, with drag queens dazzling in sequins, pouches packed with who-knows-what, and a kaleidoscope of fabulous chaos. A massive thank you to every single organisation that strutted, danced, and sparkled their way through today’s festivities—especially my fabulous host, NEU, also known as the National Education Union, proving once again that they can educate and entertain in equal measure. We had a gloriously fun day, and this was just part one—stay tuned for part two, because if the backstage antics were this good, you can only imagine what’s coming next! National Education Union

Is Slowy’s grand Mission to Space really going to blast off in exactly 100 pieces, like some cosmic jigsaw puzzle scattered across the galaxy? Picture it: the countdown begins, the rocket rumbles, and instead of soaring smoothly, Slowy’s ship gently plops apart into perfectly numbered sections, drifting lazily past bewildered astronauts who try to reassemble it mid-orbit while sipping zero-gravity coffee. 🤔
