Glasgow student crowned winner at UK baking competition
Jamie Howie, from the City of Glasgow College, was crowned the overall winner of the Renshaw Cup, a national baking competition for college students, after impressing judges with his creativity and technical skill. Held from July 8 to 10 at British Bakels' Liverpool site, home of the Renshaw brand, the competition returned this year after a 21-year break. Mr Howie said: "It's such an honour to represent Glasgow at the Renshaw Cup and being the only Scottish student at the event made winning even more special." The three-day event included technical challenges, expert-led tutorials, and a factory tour to give finalists real-world experience in a commercial baking environment. James Cawthorne, managing director at British Bakels, said: "Renshaw has been part of British baking for over a century, and we were thrilled to bring back this iconic event to support young talent. "The event was a true celebration of young talent in the industry, and it was great to see the energy and dedication of all the students. "Jamie was a deserving winner of the champion title, his final bake displayed true craft and style." The Renshaw Cup was first launched in 1952 and has helped launch many professional careers in the baking industry. Past winners include Steve Fulford, now British Bakels' lead technical manager, and Suzanne Thorpe, founder of The Frostery. The competition reflects Renshaw's commitment to supporting the next generation of baking talent in the UK.

Meet Chit: the awkward office hero behind the viral 'Do it lady!' catchphrase
The internet-loved awkward co-worker, Chit who has become a viral sensation. Image: TikTok By now, you must know the hilarious catchphrase 'Do it lady!' or the 'black purse' skit that has taken the internet by storm. Known as 'The Chit Show', to the masses, the series of viral comedic office skits has captivated audiences since its launch in May. The short skits feature the beloved Chit, an office worker characterised by his slight awkwardness, hunched posture, a distinctive bowl cut and Jeffrey Dahmer-style glasses. Despite his awkwardness and being an unpredictable character, Chit has become a loved character on TikTok, and the skits have amassed over 20 million views and over 2 million likes.

Advertisement Next Stay Close ✕ The comedic skits were created by Jay Renshaw, who is the main character of the show and Kiel Kennedy, the off-screen character and the man behind the camera. Where it all started: 'Do it lady!' Renshaw's first skit is the now-viral skit that features the memorable line, "Do it lady!", where Chit's coworkers are confused when he writes "Do it lady!" in a birthday card intended for a colleague's surprise office party. Despite their confusion, Chit attempts to convince everyone that it is a genuine catchphrase. What they do not understand is that the phrase is actually Chit's way of saying 'You go, girl!' or 'Yes, girl!' 'Black purse' The second viral skit that left the internet in stitches is the 'Black purse' skit where Chit walks in the office and asks: 'Is there a black person in here?' which again left his co-workers confused because his black co-worker, Linda is in the room along with the other two white co-workers. Only to find out that he actually meant 'Is there a black purse in here?' as he sees it and reaches for it when Linda is about to confront him for what he is saying. The internet loves Chit Renshaw and Kennedy continue to make other comedic skits which are being loved by the internet just as much as the viral two skits and Renshaw shared on his TikTok bio that new episodes of 'The Chit Show' will be dropped weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The internet has been loving Chit, and many have shared videos saying that the catchphrase 'Do it lady!' has been their favourite phrase to randomly say out loud, or they have now added it to their vocabulary.

Renshaw in the runs but Australia A beaten in Darwin
Matt Renshaw has continued his return to runs by producing a swashbuckling century in Australia A's 51-run loss to Sri Lanka A. Renshaw hit 106 from 75 balls for the hosts in Darwin on Sunday as Australia A lost 8-65 to be all out for 243 in reply to the visitors' 7-294. The Queenslander's century included nine boundaries and two sixes, coming after he also hit 80 in an emphatic win over Sri Lanka A on Friday. Renshaw drove powerfully against the spinners, hitting Dushan Hemantha inside-out over cover for a six and plundering several boundaries through the region. He brought up his century off 70 balls when he worked Mohamed Shiraz to the the fine-leg boundary, before holing out in the deep off Hematha shortly after. After initially being considered one of the country's most conservative batters, Renshaw has risen to power in the white-ball game in recent years. South Australia's Liam Scott also contributed, making 53 before the Australia A tail fell apart and medium-pacer Pramod Madushan finished with 4-37. Earlier, Australia A's bowlers struggled to make inroads with Jack Nisbett finishing with 2-58 from his 10 overs and Sam Elliott 2-30 off three overs.. Renshaw's spinners also came in handy as he took 1-31 from eight overs. Sri Lanka's innings was built around Nuwanidu Fernando's stylish 82 from 90 balls, laced with two sixes and five fours. And opener Lasith Croospulle also struck a half-century, hitting two sixes in his 63 from 70 deliveries.
