Happy New Year from all at The Swally! (When do you stop saying that?) What better way to kick off 2021 than by looking at the 2008 inspired comedy 'Gary's War' where Sgt Gary McLintoch talks us through life on the front line after returning from his tour of duty in Iraq.
We also ask who was the Golden Wonder mascot, how many solo sex acts can one man perform on himself and what weapons can you buy online?
