We had been doing so well. On 13 December the chief medical officer, Dr Tony Holohan, announced that Ireland had the lowest number of cases per capita in Europe. We felt pretty good about ourselves. The Irish love Christmas, and a major cause of this surge was socialising.

PlayStation 5 v Xbox Series X: how will the rival consoles compare?

Due out this winter, the machine will be competing with Microsoft’s Xbox Series X in the first major console war since 2013. But what will these new devices offer that Xbox One and PlayStation 4 do not – and will this finally get the kids off Fortnite? Technology Like the Xbox One and PS4, the two new machines have quite similar tech, much of it provided by leading semiconductor manufacturer AMD. This is where things get a bit technical. Both consoles also have dedicated graphics processing units (GPUs) to drive their high-detail 3D visuals, also based on AMD technology: its Radeon Navi RDNA graphics architecture.

Politicians eager to “Rock the Vote” looked to video games to reach young voters. Childish Gambino - This Is America. Beyoncé, Blue Ivy, SAINt JHN, WizKid - BROWN SKIN GIRL.

How good can Bruno Fernandes make Manchester United? Anfield may tell

This is not the start of the middle, or the beginning of the end. Let’s face it, nobody really knows what’s going on up there in this jetlagged oddity of a Premier League season, when points have been scattered with luxurious abandon, and none of these teams seem ready to find a sustained higher gear.

Our house didn’t have heat. Just a big fireplace. It was a really old, old house on a farm in Basel, and that’s just the way it was. I didn’t really even think about it. I kept myself warm by running around like lunatic. My family had left Kosovo before the war broke out, when I was four years old, and they tried to make a life in Switzerland with me and my two brothers. Switzerland is very expensive for anyone, but it was extra difficult for my parents because they were sending a lot of money back home to our family members who were still in Kosovo. But when the war started it became impossible to go back, and things were very difficult for my family members who were stuck there. Funny story, actually … Ronaldo was my idol.
