'Progress', is Take's That's new album out in November! It is the first time all five members have worked together since Robbie quit 15 years ago.
Robbie said he was "embarrassingly excited" and reuniting with his former group felt like "coming home" while bandmate Mark Owen added that it "feels like a dream". Owen also said: "Getting the five of us to be in a room together, although always a dream, never actually seemed like becoming a reality.
"Now the reality of the five of us making a record together feels like a dream. It's been an absolute delight spending time with Rob again. But I'm still a better footballer!"
Jason Orange said it was "absolutely brilliant," adding, "I'm over the moon that Robbie's back with us, however long it lasts. I just want to enjoy our time with him. Life is beautifully strange sometimes."

Hi all, my local Argos store finally has a decent number of Monster High dolls (i.e. more than one!) so I have reserved them all in the hopes of getting the one I want. Has anyone else done this and can you advise me of how to cheekily select one rather than all four- do I simply go to a till and ask to view them first, then explain I only want one? Or is there a different desk I go to to view?

Sorry for the dense questions, I don't get out much!

I usually do that if there is more than one choice available and tend to just go straight to the Customer Service desk, give them my reservation number and ask to see the selection available, hope you get the one you want

This news will shock and sadden millions of people around the world. Paul the Octopus, the oracle cephalopod that correctly predicted the outcome of eight matches during the World Cup this year, has died. The Oberhausen Sea Life Aquarium has ruled out foul play.
Paul the Octopus, who gained worldwide fame this year by correctly predicting the outcome of eight World Cup soccer matches including the final this year, died peacefully in his sleep, the Sea Life Center in Oberhausen, announced on Tuesday.

"Management and staff of the Oberhausen Sea Life Aquarium were devastated when Paul was found dead this morning," the aquarium said in a statement.
The aquarium said it would erect a monument to the little brown octopus whose astounding predictive powers turned him into the true star of the tournament, eclipsing the likes of Lionel Messi, Wayne Rooney, Thomas Müller and Andres Iniesta. Spain won, and "Pulpo Paul" found a place in the hearts of the country's people.

Paul was originally believed to have been hatched from an egg in January 2008 at the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, England, then moved to a tank at one of the chain's centres in Oberhausen, Germany.[5] American cable television network ESPN later reported claims made in a Bild article (later republished by the Italian press)[6] that Paul the Octopus had been caught in April 2010, by Verena Bartsch, off the island of Elba.[7][8]
His name derives from the title of a poem by the German children's writer Boy Lornsen: Der Tintenfisch Paul Oktopus.[9][10]
According to DPA, local businessmen in O Carballiño a town in Galicia, Spain collectively raised around €30,000 as a "transfer fee" to have Paul as the main attraction of the local Festa do Polbo festival.[11] Manuel Pazo, a fisherman and head of the local business club made assurances that Paul would be presented alive in a tank and not on the menu. Sea Life Centres rejected the offer nonetheless.[12]
After accusations of betrayal by the German newspaper Westfälische Rundschau, the Spanish prime minister Jos! Luis Rodr!guez Zapatero promised to send a team of bodyguards to protect Paul, while the environment minister Elena Espinosa said she would give Paul protection under conservation laws so that Germans do not eat him.[13]
It was expected that Paul would die before the UEFA Euro 2012, as common octopuses live on average no more than three years. After the 2010 world cup, Paul's owners said there would be no more predictions, effectively sending him into retirement.[14] He died on 26 October 2010 of natural causes.[1]
