Summary
Do the collection of new weight loss drugs offer more than just weight loss? With claims suggesting that they can help lower risks of cancer and improve mood, Giles feels like he is missing out. Is it time for him to tuck in to Mounjaro? Esther is not convinced and if Giles and his peers live to be one hundred and forty, where are all the Gen Z’s going to live?
If you’re lucky enough to come by a luxury copy of Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’ you may find a handy readers guide; “this novel may not be easy or enjoyable.” What else needs a handy guide – GCSE geography, home cooking, sex?
After an oxbow lake via some noises that annoy a quick theatre recommendation for a farce of a play about spies… Readers guide: May contain innuendo and slapstick.
