They have become iconic sentences which people will remember forever, words which most people will always associate with the opening lines to one of the most important and unique events in world history, Live Aid. 

A strong contender for film of the year so far is The Ballad Of Wallace Island. Not only is it genuinely funny, but it’s also exceedingly poignant and very British. A word of mouth sleeper hit, made on a shoestring budget, I was dead chuffed to see a good-sized audience for it when I finally went to watch it this week.

You’ll have gathered if you’ve read this column for any length of time that I rather enjoy a quirky survey, and luckily the good folk at Muller Bliss have come up with the goods this week, listing some of life’s ‘little luxuries’ that all enjoy.
