It's Been A Minute

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. We absolutely want to hear your feedback, so send us a voice note or leave us a comment. Got a question or a funny story, then why not get in touch?

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.Got a question or a funny story, then why not get in touch?

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?So grab your favourite beverage and join us for another round of Sips & Giggles.Got a question or a funny story, then why not get in touch?

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.Got a question or a funny story, then why not get in touch?

In this fabulously nostalgic episode of G&T: Sips & Giggles, Glenn and Tina Leggs Tantrum hop into their tacky time machine – held together with sequins, hairspray and sheer determination – to celebrate one of the most iconic events in Irish queer history: Alternative Miss Ireland (AMI).From its anarchic beginnings in 1987 to its glittering finale in 2012, AMI was more than just a drag pageant. It was a cultural movement – equal parts outrageous performance, biting satire, and heartfelt activism. With categories like Daywear, Swimwear and Talent (often stretched to their very limits), AMI raised over €335,000 for HIV/AIDS charities and helped launch the careers of legends like Panti Bliss, Shirley Temple Bar, and Veda.Tina shares her own journey from backstage nerves to being crowned Alternative Miss Ireland – complete with behind-the-scenes gossip, outfit drama, and a performance that brought the house down. Glenn and Tina also dive into the community spirit of AMI, its political punch, and why it still casts a rhinestoned shadow over Ireland’s queer scene.Whether you were there in the Olympia cheering from the balcony or are just hearing about AMI for the first time – this one’s for the misfits, the icons, and everyone who believes in the power of drag to change the world.Strap in – and tune in – as we take you on a glitter-drenched journey through the legacy of AMI. Got a question or a funny story, then why not get in touch?

In this fabulously full-bodied episode of G&T Sips and Giggles: One For The Road, Glenn and Tina Leggs Tantrum serve up a cheeky cocktail of queer culture, royal drama, national obsessions, and reality TV chaos.First, the pair sip their way through Mid-Century Modern – the new Hulu/Disney+ series hailed as a “spiritual cousin” to The Golden Girls, starring Nathan Lane, Matt Bomer, and the late Linda Lavin in her final screen role. Expect warm takes on chosen family, ageing in the LGBTQ+ community, and a whole lot of Palm Springs fabulousness.Next, it’s time for a royal reckoning as they unpack Prince Harry’s turbulent month — from his dramatic exit from the charity Sentebale to his ongoing battle over UK security and the diverging paths he and Meghan Markle seem to be taking.Then it’s back to Blighty for some classic British banter about the weather. Why are we so obsessed? Is climate consciousness finally catching up with our endless moaning? And what even is in garden soil that boosts our mood? (Spoiler: it’s not just the Pinot.)Finally, Tina and Glenn preview the glittering line-up for Celebrity Big Brother 2025 — from Mickey Rourke to JoJo Siwa — and ask whether this revamped series can live up to the chaos of its heyday. With a smaller house and live audience feedback on the cards, it’s bound to be explosive.Tune in for nostalgia, nobility, and nasal spray – all in a tight forty-minute package.
