G&T: Sips & Giggles

This week on G&T: Sips & Giggles, Glenn and Tina are back for a proper catch-up. We start off chatting about the TV show Tip Toe, mainly how tense it is, how ridiculous some of it looks, and whether either of us would last more than five minutes before completely losing the plot.

Tina fills us in on her time at the Groovy Train show, including all the music, the atmosphere and the madness of it. Glenn also talks about his very unexpected appearance in Belfast Live, which came as news to him as much as anyone else.

It’s a bit of TV chat, a bit of showbiz, a bit of accidental local fame, and the usual G&T nonsense in between.

This week on G&T: Sips & Giggles, Glenn and Tina are back for a proper catch-up, and Northern Ireland has once again delivered the goods.

First up, we mourn the loss of a local gem as Spaghetti Arms Restaurant announces its closure. The hatch may still be open, but the big question remains: where are we supposed to sit in now and absolutely face plant a Sunday roast?

Then, the new Lidl pub in Dundonald has finally opened, and in true Northern Ireland style, it wasn’t long before opening night was reportedly marked by a bar brawl. Because apparently we cannot be trusted with discounted pints and novelty interiors.

Tina also lifts the lid on the glamorous, chaotic and occasionally mysterious world of wigs, make-up routines and drag preparation. From getting the face on to getting the hair right, we get into the rituals, the shortcuts, the disasters and the bits that nobody sees before the spotlight hits.

It’s food grief, pub drama, beauty secrets and Belfast nonsense, all served with a strong G&T.

This time, Glenn puts Tina firmly in the hot seat as she shares her coming out story in recognition of Pride Month, which takes place every June.

In a more personal episode of G&T: Sips & Giggles, Tina opens up about the moments, memories and emotions that shaped her journey, while Glenn guides the conversation with curiosity, warmth and, naturally, the odd cheeky question along the way.

Coming out is never just one conversation. It can be funny, frightening, awkward, emotional, freeing, messy and beautiful, sometimes all at once. This episode is a chance to reflect on what Pride means, why our stories still matter, and how looking back can remind us just how far we’ve come.

Expect honesty, a sprinkle of giggles, a few tender moments, and the usual G&T chaos as Tina shares her story in her own words.

So grab your favourite beverage and join us for another round of Sips & Giggles.

We’re back for another catch-up, and this week we’re proudly admitting what everyone already knows: we’re unashamedly nosey.

Glenn and Tina catch up after the Belfast Marathon, chatting about the runners, the atmosphere, and whether standing at the side watching other people exercise counts as emotional cardio. Then it’s into the everyday crimes that test our patience: queue jumpers, people with Main Character Syndrome, and the dangerous temptation of reading other people’s messages when they’re sitting just a little too close.

Expect laughs, strong opinions, mild judgement, and the usual G&T chaos as we ask: are we just observant, or are we absolutely, completely, and unapologetically nosey?

Welcome back to G&T: Sips & Giggles!

Yes, we know. It’s been a minute. Actually, it’s been about a year, but who’s counting? The important thing is that Glenn and Tina are back, the drinks are poured, the microphones are on, and somehow, against all odds, we’ve made it to Season 2, Episode 51.

In this comeback episode, we’re having a proper catch-up on what we’ve been up to over the past year, including Tina’s adventures in new-build life, Glenn asking the questions that probably should have been left in the group chat, and the pair of us easing ourselves gently back into the chaos.

We also get into some classic Sips & Giggles territory as we ask: is being blunt just an excuse for being rude? Tina shares her thoughts on being judgy, first impressions, and whether our snap opinions of people are ever really fair.

So grab your favourite beverage, settle yourself in, and join us as we kick off Season 2 with a catch-up, a cackle, and a few opinions we may or may not stand by tomorrow.

Welcome back to G&T: Sips and Giggles - The Lock-In, a bonus episode where we rant about life's modern annoyances.

In this episode, we dive into the topic of shrinkflation—when products get smaller but prices stay the same. From chocolate bars to toilet rolls, we explore real-life examples and discuss whether this practice is a smart business move or a deceitful consumer con. Join us as we debate the ethics behind shrinkflation and ponder the need for consumer protests.

Don't miss our insights on how companies maintain packaging and brand trust while subtly giving us less for more. Tune in, sip along, and let's giggle through the nonsense together!
