Manchester City hero Yaya Toure turns 39 today, and the greater footballing world will be hoping that the big day is marked with a cake.The midfielder enjoyed a terrific spell at the Etihad Stadium and wrote himself into the club’s history books during his eight-year spell at the club. The Ivorian won the Premier League three times with City, as well as the FA Cup and the Football League Cup twice.But Toure’s time at City ended on somewhat of a sour note, all stemming from him not receiving a birthday cake on his special day in 2014. Just a few days after City had lifted the league trophy, Toure’s agent Dimitri Seluk criticised the club for not properly celebrating his client’s 31st birthday, stating that the pair had to consider a move in the summer transfer window as a result.Having initially denied having a role to play in Seluk’s outburst, Toure then changed his tune by tweeting: “Everything Dimitri said is true.

Tesco boss has claimed customers have been asking the supermarkets check out staff to stop scanning their food shop once their bill reaches a certain cost.He says many are doing so as households continue to feel the cost of living squeeze, according to Manchester Evening News.Talking on BBC Radio 4 Today's show, John Allan, chairman of Tesco, said there is an “overwhelming need” for a windfall tax on energy companies after seeing the supermarket’s customers “extremely stretched”.On a recent visit to a Tesco store, John said he witnessed customers asking staff to stop scanning items "for the first time in years."He said: "I was hearing for the first time for many years of customers saying to check out staff, 'stop when you get to £40,' or something, 'I don't want to spend a penny over that.' "You know, as opposed to having everything checked out and settling the bill at the end."So I think a lot of people are feeling something of a pinch and lots of people are actually feeling extremely stretched.

JANE SAYS: Your boyfriend is a liability. You can kid yourself and make all sorts of excuses for him, but the fact is that he’s inappropriate and something of a bully. I don’t care how proud he is of his penis, nothing gives him the right to expose himself and embarrass those around him. I’m mildly surprised that someone hasn’t already taken him to task. He obviously has a lot of confidence and brass neck, but he’s living on borrowed time. You’re absolutely right; this is not the climate in which to behave like a complete oaf. One can only imagine what people are saying about you – and him – behind your backs. What about your reputation? You deserve better. Can the man be told/encouraged to start behaving himself or is he too arrogant or cocky to take advice? Is it worth trying to reason with him, adult to adult? Sadly, if he believes he should be able to do anything he likes in the name of humour then I fear you may never change him and he’ll end up being the architect of his own downfall. On a more sinister note, do you get the impression that he enjoys intimidating people and making them squirm? Does he get a kick out of being grossly improper? I can’t see this relationship lasting much longer if you can’t summon up the energy to confront him.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticIn the ’70s and early ’80s, the era that defined him, Stephen King came up with a whole lot of horror-story metaphors for anger. There was Carrie, the angry telekinetic nerd-turned-pranked-prom-demon, and Christine the angry car, and Cujo the angry dog, and the novel that was the greatest of King’s rage mythologies — “The Shining,” published in 1977, which was all about the hidden anger of middle-class men, with the frustrated aspiring writer Jack Torrance (not a domestic abuser but the sort of man who would have a few drinks and then yank his son’s arm too forcefully) standing in for what was at the time a new awareness of the ideology of masculine fury.
