Next shoppers 'love' €25 summer top so much they're buying every colour
Next has launched a vibrant and striking summer top that shoppers are snapping up in 'every available colour', with some so taken by it they've bought every shade on offer. With its breezy linen fabric, customers have praised it the 'stylish' and 'comfortable' top as perfect for the heat and versatile enough to "dress up or down" for any summertime event. The Short Sleeve Boxy T-shirt with Linen is available in six distinct designs. All of the styles are priced between €24.50 and €32.50, depending on the look selected, and many shoppers have quickly labelled it a "favourite" for their seasonal wardrobe. Next bosses have described it as providing a "relaxed fit" for an effortlessly chic "easy summer look". The "comfortable" top, crafted from a linen mix, is touted as ideal for the summer climate due to its breathability and is offered in sizes from six to 26. For instance, the black or white versions of the Next top are a steal at €24.50 each. If you fancy something with a bit more pizzazz, patterned varieties like the Abstract Sunshine Print will set you back €32.50, reports the Mirror. Budget-friendly patterns are also part of the mix, including a zebra-effect top for €25. Another sought-after design, featuring a red and white palm tree motif, is also priced at €25 and boasts numerous five-star ratings. One shopper praised the item, saying: "So comfortable to wear. Can be dressed up or down." Another chimed in with admiration for the material: "Lovely material for warm weather, good fit [and it] doesn't crease like some linen tops." Another customer was pleased, noting: "Lovely top. It can be worn for all occasions, had lots of compliments on this top." A different buyer commented on the ease and style: "Nice easy to wear linen blend top. Love the bright colour and pattern and button up back." However, some customers were less satisfied, citing the material's thickness: "too thin" while another pointed out a sizing issue: "Nice item but [it's] far too long." In another review, a buyer appreciated the features: "Lovely linen blend top. It buttons down the back and has two side slits. Great red and white pattern which looks fab with some white linen pants." Lastly, another customer expressed sheer satisfaction: "I've got them all now! [The tops] are comfortable to wear and they look smart as well."

'I was a huge children's TV star in the 1990s but now people recognise me for something very different'
Many kids in the 80s and 90s grew up with T-Bag, but now a whole new generation is growing up with one of it's characters For a generation of kids growing up in the 1980s and '90s, John Hasler was a household name, instantly recognisable as the mischievous magical-tea-brewing-sidekick 'T-shirt' in the hugely popular CITV series T-Bag. Yet while the iconic colourful attire and whacky plot of the show is a distant memory for many, Hasler's voice is still heard by millions - although not as you might expect. His breakout show first aired in 1985 when he was just 11-years-old. It followed a witch-like character who obtained magical powers from drinking the special drink but is incapable of brewing it properly, in-steps their assistant T-shirt who does it for them in return for a share of their magical powers. The series would usually begin with T-Bag trying to increase her power and to stop her, the girl in the series would have to collect artefacts from across space and time before T-bag could find them. Despite his role working for the "baddie" T-Shirt acted as more of a hero, sneaking behind his boss often helping the girl to foil his boss's plans. He was the only actor to be in all nine seasons of the show, first being a young boy before growing up to be a teenager that towered over his witch-boss. Long after T-Bag brewed its last magical potion in 1992, Hasler has become somewhat famed for his work as a voice actor in TV and shows across the UK, lending his voice to a whole host of characters you may have heard but would have never related back to T-Shirt. Despite no longer being a routine of a Saturday morning, Hasler's career has taken him from the fictional Pride Lands of Africa to voicing a beloved train. For many younger fans today, unaware of the magical time-travelling adventures captured on T-Bag, Hasler is the voice bringing Thomas the Tank Engine alive for English audiences around the world in the widely popular Thomas and Friends. Speaking to Red Carpet News on playing Thomas, Hasler said: "Thomas is an enduring character so it makes it even more pressurised to play the lead role, you think 'oh my gosh lots of people have loved this character for a long time' and to take on the mantel is an extreme privilege." But his performances aren't kept to the tracks, Hasler has also made his mark on the stage, voicing the beloved meerkat Timon in the hugely successful West End adaptation of The Lion King, touring around the UK voicing the iconic animal original played by Nathan Lane. The 51-year-old also appeared in the teen-drama the Renford Rejects as well as classic BBC soap Casualty. He continued his voice work after joining the cast of Fireman Sam in 2012, voicing Sam's nephew James Jones.

Supreme Court rejects appeal of Massachusetts student who wanted to wear ‘only two genders' T-shirt
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected the appeal of a Massachusetts student who was barred from wearing a T-shirt to school proclaiming there are only two genders. The justices left in place a federal appeals court ruling that said it would not second-guess the decision of educators in Middleborough, Massachusetts, to not allow the T-shirt to be worn in a school environment because of a negative impact on transgender and gender-nonconforming students.

Díaz and Tatis lead the Padres to a 5-3 win over the Giants for a 2-game sweep
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Elias Díaz homered and scored twice, and Fernando Tatis Jr. had three hits for the San Diego Padres, who beat the San Francisco Giants 5-3 Wednesday for a two-game sweep. The Padres leapfrogged the Giants into second place behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the ultra-competitive NL West. Díaz homered on a line shot to left off Landen Roupp (2-2) leading off the third for a 2-0 lead. A fan in the front row wearing a Giants T-shirt reached his glove over the fence but the ball caromed off his wrist. After a lengthy crew chief review, it was determined it wasn't fan interference. It was the catcher's second homer. Tatis had three singles and scored on Manny Machado's single to right in the two-run fifth. Jose Iglesias beat out a dribbler for a two-out infield hit that scored Luis Arraez. Arraez, a three-time batting champion who returned from the seven-day concussion injured list on Tuesday night, had his first triple of the season to bring in Díaz with two outs in the sixth. Michael King (4-1) held the Giants to one run and three hits in 5 2/3 innings. He struck out six and walked one. Robert Suarez pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 12th save. The Giants got late homers from Heliot Ramos and Mike Yastrzemski. With runners on first and second and one out in the sixth, Machado, the third baseman, dived to his left to field Willy Adames' one-hopper and, while on his back, threw to second to force Mike Yastrzemski. Key stat San Francisco's Matt Chapman struck out three times, marking the fifth time in his career he's had consecutive three-plus strikeouts in the same series. Up next Giants RHP Justin Verlander (0-2, 4.99 ERA) is scheduled to start Thursday night at home against Colorado. RHP Dylan Cease (1-2, 5.76) is expected to start for the Padres on Friday night in the opener of a series at Pittsburgh. ___
