A cannabis venture, which counts David Beckham among its investors, has seen its share price rise more than four-fold during its London stock market debut. Cellular Goods, which wants to sell skincare and topical creams using biosynthetic cannabinoids, saw shares climb from their offer price of 5p to above 20p when the opening price was declared on Friday. The flotation, which was 13-times oversubscribed, was aimed at raising £13m for development work and expansion after City rules were changed last year to allow cannabis-linked listings for medicinal ventures. Sky News revealed earlier this month that Cellular would be the first company of its kind to take advantage of the relaxation of the criteria through the Initial Public Offering (IPO). The success of the launch means Beckham's holding has surged in value as a result.

A MUM has thrown her daughter the “cheapest wedding ever” after refusing to spend more than $1,000 (£700) on her big day. Shelley Watson has been penny pinching for years and was not about to change her ways for daughter Ashley’s wedding to groom Colby Cosgrove. The mum, who appears on TLC’s Extreme Cheapskates, is determined to cut costs wherever she can, beginning with the venue. Rather than splash out thousands on a grand country house Shelley takes her daughter to the local school gym. “The best part about it is it’s free because my friends work here, it’s the perfect place to get married” Shelley says. However, not everyone is convinced. Denise, Colby’s mother, says: “I thought it was a f***ing joke, nobody in their right mind is serious about having it in a gym. It’s ridiculous.” “This is going to be the cheapest wedding ever,” Ashley agrees. When it comes to flowers, Shelley has come up with a budget solution, heading to a holiday warehouse Shelley … [Read more...] about I refuse to spend a penny over £700 on my daughter’s wedding – she can get married in a school with a second-hand dress

Matchgoing fans were among those to have been hit fairly early on by the pandemic. Now, about a year into life with COVID-19, mass crowds are largely still banned from sports games. But many fans are now hanging their hopes on the newly-developed vaccines. With Israel and the UK among the countries with the world's highest vaccination rates, both provide a glimpse of how sports events could soon be carried out with mass crowds in attendance. 10,000 fans at an Israeli football game? As of February 25, Israel is the world leader in administered COVID19 vaccination doses per capita, with 90 doses administered per 100 people. A total of 4.6 million people have already received the first dose, more than half of Israel's 9m population, with more than 3.2 million of those having already received the second dose. Those who received their second dose are entitled to a so-called Green Pass, which initially lasts six months and allows its holders wide-ranging privileges such as booking … [Read more...] about Israel, UK mull return of sports fans after mass COVID-19 vaccinations

ENGLAND legend Paul Gascoigne has been showing off his dance moves ahead of being dropped into the jungle with a former Miss Italy stunner. Gazza, 53, is set to make an appearance on the Italian version of ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.’ And he worked up a sweat during an unorthodox dance show in pyjamas, slippers and shades as he got ready to board a plane to Central America to star with a former Miss Italy in Isola de Famosi - Island of the Famous. Gazza, 53, is set to be thrown out of a helicopter into the sea and made to swim to dry land before braving the risk of tropical storms and poisonous spiders on the small archipelago of Cayos Cochinos 18 miles off the northern coast of Honduras. But the adventure awaiting him didn’t seem to deter his spirits as he relaxed in his hotel in Italy ahead of his weekend flight. And Gazza, who gave footie fans a chuckle two years ago at Wembley by performing the famous Floss Dance, showed he was game for a laugh after coming … [Read more...] about England hero Paul Gascoigne shows dance moves before he’s dropped into jungle with ex-Miss Italy stunner for TV show

Back in the early Nineties, teenage fans across the globe swooned heavily over Home and Away heartthrob Dieter Brummer. The Australian star played floppy-haired bad-boy-turned-good, Shane Parrish, who married the free-spirited runaway Angel before dying from septicaemia after cutting himself on a wire on their first wedding anniversary. It later emerged that Dieter, now 44, actually begged bosses to kill him off in 1996 amid a bitter real life feud with actress Melissa George , who played his on-screen wife. He told Woman's Day: "We may have been love interests on the show but the chemistry was far from real! “Mel was incredibly ambitious right from the outset. I think she wanted to be the next Kylie Minogue. “She was a big fan and she aspired to be a big star just like Kylie. I don’t think she had much time for the cast of Home and Away." Melissa later told Home and Award special, Endless Summer that there had indeed been tensions in their working relationship. … [Read more...] about Home and Away hunk Dieter Brummer now – exit over Melissa George feud to window cleaner
