The Vocal Local: I’m joining women in calling out misogyny in skateboarding

The Vocal Local: I’m joining women in calling out misogyny in skateboarding

Tim Christian recently returned to his own teenage pastime with his young daughter and he's shocked at the misogynistic attitudes some female skaters endure. In his response to SLAG Collective's Vocal Local piece on the backlash they have received for speaking out against it, he argues that the personal is political and calls for male allyship for women and girls who skate. I’m something of an old man of the Blackpool skate scene these days, having first picked up a board as a young lad in the dim and distant days of around 1999/2000 and, after a significant hiatus to…

Supper Club: Stefani’s Pizzeria

Supper Club: Stefani’s Pizzeria

In this week's Supper Club restaurant review, Tim Christian tells you to believe the hype about this Neapolitan pizza joint in the heart of Blackpool – and gives us a science lesson while he's at it. I’m not a believer in divine providence, or the weave of fate, or any manner of predestination, but sometimes events align in such a manner that you must grasp the opportunity with both hands.

Supper Club: Elvin’s

The sun is out and Tim Christian is in shorts - getting on his bike and heading to the far flung reaches of Lytham to sample some Lebanese Street food that doesn't disappoint. It was one of those spring days where the weather reaches the heady heights of double digits. The sun comes out, the death of winter is announced and all the bizarre shedding of inhibitions of the British populace in warmish weather takes place: men without shirts, families piling onto the beach and (in my case) trips out the bike. In shorts. Looking for excuses as I always…

Supper Club: Upside Down

Supper Club: Upside Down

In his second time hosting the BSC Supper Club – a new series of food reviews – foody Tim Christian visits the cafe promising to bring coffee culture to Blackpool and finds much more besides When looking for recommendations for new and interesting places to eat in Blackpool, one of the most regular suggestions I’ve had was for the next place on my list - Upside Down on Edward Street, just off the square by St John’s Church (very quickly becoming something of a go-to area for fans of good, local food and drink). It’s also a destination I’ve seen…

Supper Club: The Cozy Jazz Cafe

Foody Tim Christian finds a genuine hidden gem on Lytham Road for a low-key launch of our Supper Club – a new series of food reviews Life is full of trite and meaningless phrases but every now and again you find a great example of a phrase fulfilling its actual function and it reinvigorates that phrase beyond its tired overuse. A common one you might find when reading food reviews is “hidden gem”, which can mean anything from a food kiosk down a back alley in the Outer Hebrides to “not McDonald’s” depending on the source. In this case The…
