Ollie Irish
Ollie has spent most of his decade in journalism messing about with sport and gadgets. He is the former deputy editor of The Observer’s Sport Monthly magazine and editor of Stuff magazine. His favourite car of all time is the Turbo Terrific, as driven by Peter Perfect in Wacky Races. Either that or a Lamborghini Miura.

Ryan Bailey
Ryan used to write for FHM, Zoo and the Non-League Paper. He enjoys long walks on the beach, sticking it to the man, doing De Niro faces in the mirror, the works of Journey and adding ‘meister’ to the end of surnames rather than thinking of proper nicknames. He once went to the Sealife Centre in Hastings.

Josh Burt
Born into a happy home, Josh has dedicated his life to becoming a man of words. The first logical step was to attain a weak degree from a former polytechnic, then work as a photocopier for about six months. Since then, he employed his amazing vocabulary by writing for more! magazine, gentlemen’s favourites like FHM and Zoo, urban bible Touch, and he once even graced the Sun offices with his beautiful sculpted face for nearly a year. His favourite fruit is oranges, and his number one punch is “rabbit”.

Michael Lintorn
Michael was too smart for university, so he decided to become a journalist instead. After travelling from Ebbsfleet to Grays to Tonbridge to cover the Non-League Paper’s glamour ties, he decided the excitement was too much, and signed up with Grand Parade.
Rob Parker
Rob started his career in local journalism before realising that going to university would at least half the number of mornings he had to leave bed each week. While there he stumbled into internet journalism, becoming deputy editor of football site Who Ate All The Pies. Confronted with the prospect of life in the real world after graduating, he realised that writing on the internet would at least half the number of mornings he had to leave bed each week. He enjoys long walks with his pet tortoise, Toby, and his favourite grid position is fifth.
