Chris Willman Music WriterThe maxim “everything’s bigger in Texas” most definitely applies when it comes to having an outsized per capita concentration of brilliant songwriters. So, it’s almost surprising to realize that it took until 2005 for a Texas Heritage Songwriters Association to be formed, for the purpose of finally founding a Hall of Fame.One key figure in its origins was a beloved Texan not everyone realizes had a reputation as “a lover of the song, and a friend to songwriters”: University of Texas football coach Darrell K.

Premier League star Craig Noone worked as a roofer on Steven Gerrard's extension in 2008 whilst playing non-league.Now shining in the A-League at Melbourne City, Noone enjoyed a six-month spell in the English top-flight with Cardiff City after rising through the ranks as an amateur footballer.On the books at boyhood club Liverpool until he was 15, Noone joined up with Wrexham upon release from the Reds but only lasted 12 months in north Wales before being let go once again. It was at this time that Noone was training as a roofer, almost giving up on his dream of turning professional while turning out for non-league sides Skelmersdale United, Burscough and Southport.Working part-time, Noone received an unlikely call to say his firm would be working on an extension for Liverpool captain Gerrard who was paying for a conversion."He was getting a gym and a games room built on the back of his house and we did the roof and the panels on the side," Noone told The Daily Express."My boss picked me up one morning at 7am and said, ‘We’re working on Steven Gerrard’s house today’.

West Ham.But in one fell swoop this week, the likeable Scot has undone all this great work following his shambolic handling of the now engulfing the Hammers.To recap. In a mindless act of cretinous proportions, video footage emerged on social media of Zouma kicking and slapping his pet cat, to bring more shame on the reputation of pampered and privileged millionaire footballers.This all took place in full view of his child, but despite the public outrage and some grovelling apologies from both Zouma and his club, Moyes' idea of teaching Zouma a lesson was to pick him in his starting XI for the midweek game with Watford.Moyes wants to get into the top four and the Champions League, which would be worth upwards of £30million.So a club which also has a vice-chairwoman with expertise in brand awareness in the shape of Karen Brady, has taken the decision to put money before morals.Read the room, David.

DIY tips after revamping her doors for just £10. Lorraine Kafanke, 37, from Cumbria, found out the beautiful crittal doors she wanted would cost her £1,200.Not wanting to spend a fortune, the mum-of-two decided to make it herself for a fraction of the price.By using paint and tape to create a dupe of the doors, the whole project ended up costing her less than a tenner.She came up with the idea after she saw the doors of her dreams but couldn't afford them.Now she's thrilled by how they look and says anyone can easily copy her design.Speaking to LatestDeals.co.uk, Lorraine said: "I thought 'why not try and create the look myself on a much cheaper scale?' "I just used electrical tape, which cost 79p, and measured out four equal sections to create a glass panel look."I wasn't sure the tape would work but it's easily removed if the look didn't suit."It was a little tricky getting the tape straight but a few attempts and I was happy."She added: "I used Johnstones matt black gloss paint for the wood at £8.99 a tin doing two thin coats."The process took about three days because of the drying time between coats."I also masked up the glass to get a nice neat finish with the paint and gave the glass a good clean before applying the black tape."Lorraine says she is "so pleased" with how they turned out and says she's happy to have completed the look on a budget.And the beauty of it all is that she saved £1,000 on doing everything herself.

great white shark fin' spotted off the coast of Sussex this week has been revealed to be something a lot less sinister.The 'shark' was spotted by James Venn, who snapped the strange object poking out of the water after believing it could have been a seal.He saw what he believed to be a sea creature in Goring-by-Sea, near Worthing in West Sussex, but after looking at his photos again, he started to believe that the shape matched the distinctive triangular fin of the great white shark.The 46-year-old's theory was backed up by shark fisherman Graeme Pullen, 70, who after looking at the pictures claimed it was 'an undisputed shark'.He said: "Analysing the photo it is obviously a shark - this can't be disputed."I've always thought there was a shark there as there have been so many sightings by fishermen, but James has managed to photograph the fin."However, despite the backing of the shark expert, it seemed talk of 'great white's cruising through British waters' gathered a lot of attention.After the photographs went viral, a harbour master has come forward to say what the object actually is, and it appears to be nothing more than a pipe.Responding to the furore, Littlehampton Harbour decided to put the 'sea-spriracy' to bed for good by revealing the unexciting truth of the spotting - that the object in the sea was little more than a pipe.A spokesman for Littlehampton Harbour said: “They say never let the truth ruin a good story, but before anyone else gets carried away about the ‘great white shark fin’ recently spotted off Ferring.“That’s actually the end of a Ferring Outfall pipe, which is a known hazard at low water marked by the Cardinal Buoy visible in the background of the photo."Please note it is not our intention to

The Sopranos, citing exhaustion from inhabiting a character’s emotions for so long.The Better Call Saul star, who reprises his role as Saul Goodman for the Breaking Bad spinoff’s sixth and final series this year, made the remarks in a new interview.He told The New York Times that he’s ready to part ways his character, admitting that it’s “challenging” to let go of a role he’s portrayed over a decade.“I always used to scoff and roll my eyes at actors who say, ‘It’s so hard.’ Really? It can’t be,” Odenkirk told the publication of taking on a dramatic role.“[But] the truth is that you use your emotions, and you use your memories, you use your hurt feelings and losses, and you manipulate them, dig into them, dwell on them. A normal adult doesn’t walk around doing that, going, ‘What was the worst feeling of abandonment I’ve had in my life? Let me just gaze at that for the next week and a half, because that’s going to fuel me.'”Odenkirk added: “It gave me great sympathy for someone like James Gandolfini, who talked about how he couldn’t wait to be done with that character, and I think Bryan [Cranston] said similar things: ‘I can’t wait to leave this guy behind.’ I finally related to that attitude.”Despite his wishes to move on, Odenkirk said that Better Call Saul has “been the biggest thing” in his life.“It’s emotional to say goodbye to it, and to all these people I’ve been working with for so many years,” he said.
