OKLAHOMA CITY — It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that the Oklahoma City Thunder played one of their worst games of the entire season in Game 1 of the 2025 NBA Finals. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored a game-high 38 points, and the Thunder’s elite defense forced 25 turnovers. However, the Indiana Pacers, who led for […]

SHOPPERS have been rushing to get their hands on three new chocolate flavours of a popular coffee drink.
Eagle eyed customers spotted the new flavours on shelves in Morrisons.
The three items were flagged to coffee enthusiasts on the popular Facebook page Newfoodsuk.
These Nescafe new coffee drink flavours are now available in stores.
Mint chocolate lovers will be delighted to see an Aero Peppermint Mocha flavour in the mix, which can be spotted with green packaging.
Another is a “green triangle” mocha flavour – branded alongside Quality Street.
Vanilla cookie dough latte is also among the new flavours available.
The 250g cans sell at Morrisons for £3.50 each.
They are suitable for vegetarians.
Facebook users were quick to note the new flavours, with some speculating which would be their favourites.
One user commented: “Not sure about this.
“Coffee should be coffee and the only exception is a mocha hut none of these mixed flavours.”
Another said: “I’d love the vanilla one.
“But I don’t like Mocha. Something different to have.”
It is not the only chocolatey treat on Morrisons’ shelves right now.
The retailer is selling a giant Toblerone bar that weighs 4.5kg in time for Father’s Day.
It will be available until Sunday June 15.
It comes as Cadbury is launching a new Dairy Milk flavour bar in the UK this month – Dairy Milk Iced Latte.
The new bar combines classic Dairy Milk chocolate with a creamy coffee filling and crunchy biscuit pieces.
Four limited edition bars have also been introduced, with packaging that changes based on the temperature.
The chocolate maker also recently teased the launch of a new Cadbury White Dipped Twirl bar.
Details on the new limited edition flavour are thin, although some smaller online retailers are selling it from 99p.
Lidl shoppers have been going wild for a new Dubai-style pistachio spread landing on shelves.
The Della Sante chocolate cream spread combines the flavours of the insanely popular chocolate but in spreadable form.
The pots cost £4.99 or £3.99 for Lidl Plus members.
We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar.
Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs…
Go own brand – if you’re not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you’ll save by going for the supermarket’s own brand bars.
Shop around – if you’ve spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it’s cheaper elsewhere.
Websites like Trolley.co.uk let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you’re getting the best deal.
Look out for yellow stickers – supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they’ve been reduced.
They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged.
Buy bigger bars – most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar.
So if you’ve got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

CONCERN about mass migration is a “terrorist ideology” that requires deradicalisation, official government training documents state.
A course hosted by the anti-extremism programme Prevent lists “cultural nationalism” as a belief that should trigger alarm.
It includes a view that “Western culture is under threat from mass mig-ration and lack of integration by certain ethnic or cultural groups”.
The news has sparked fury with free speech activists, including Toby Young, head of the Free Speech Union.
In a letter to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, he writes: “Now that ‘cultural nationalism’ has been classified as a subcategory of extreme right-wing terrorist ideology, even mainstream, right-of-centre beliefs risk being treated as ideologically suspect, despite falling well within the bounds of lawful expression.”
The Home Office said: “Prevent is not about restricting debate or free speech, but preventing those suscept-ible to radicalisation.”
It comes after 1,194 illegal migrants arrived on small boats last Saturday.
The leader of Labour’s Red Wall faction said Sir Keir Starmer should consider reforming ECHR laws blamed for letting an Albanian criminal stay here due to his son not liking chicken nuggets abroad.
Backbencher Jo White said: “We need to be looking at things like ECHR article eight.
“I don’t think anything should be off the table.
A WOMAN has admitted to fantasising about having sex with other men despite claiming her husband is perfect.
The mum-of-two said she was ‘craving’ sex with a new partner and regularly dreamt about it while having intercourse with her husband.
The couple has been together for ten years, and while she said the sex life was healthy and regular, she couldn’t help but think of other people.
Asking for advice on Mumsnet, the woman shared: “I have a decent marriage, no complaints in any area.
“I have a good husband and a nice life. We are early 30s with two young children.
“Just lately, I’ve been craving sex with a different man – no man in particular, just not my husband!”
She revealed the pair had gotten together quite young and didn’t experiment much before becoming exclusive.
“I don’t understand why, other than we’ve been together since we were 20 and we both have limited sexual experience before one another (though I have slept with two other guys in my teens),” she explained.
“Maybe I feel like I missed out, I’m not sure.”
She added: “DH has a high sex drive and we have sex most days. He is extremely attentive and knows exactly what I like. He is good in bed.
“But I have to pretend that he’s someone else in order to enjoy it! I’ve been drinking a lot in the evenings to deal with this.”
The woman also said she was unsure as to why she felt this way and if anybody else had similar experiences.
One wrote: “This is a massive, massive concern and I implore you to get help right away. You are on a very slippery slope, and you need professional help to figure out why you need alcohol to cope.”
They added: “You have a husband who loves you and two beautiful children who need their mum to be happy and healthy. You deserve all the happiness in the world, and alcohol can take that all away from you.
“Alcohol is not your friend. Please reach out to whomever you feel you can for support, and please seek professional guidance.”
Another suggested: “Could you bring that fantasy into the bedroom and maybe ask him to role play for you? Or if there’s an accent that really turns you on ask him to whisper to you in that voice? Maybe you could turn this into a nice kink that involves him!”

A third chimed in: “He’s probably doing the same, almost all guys dream of other women they want to have sex with while making love to their wives and pretend they are a different woman.
“It’s harmless if that’s all it is. Pretending you or someone else gives him a thrill and makes sex easier just as it does for you. It’s ok.”
“I think it’s natural to fantasise about sex with other people some of the time but not to the extent of not wanting sex with your DH,” a fourth added.
“You did get together and settle down pretty young so that probably is contributing to how you feel. But he sounds like a great guy.
“There are a lot of s**theads out there. So be careful not to wish him away. If your DCs are very young, your relationship with your DH may seem more about you as parents than anything else.
“You will likely find you start to relate to each other more just as adults once your children are a bit older and not absorbing quite as much of your time.”
NEARLY £4million has been spent under Sir Keir Starmer’s government on chartering five privately owned boats to rescue migrants in the Channel over the last eight months.
Border Force chiefs have used vessels from two private companies to patrol the English Channel and pick up migrants in dinghies making the treacherous journey from France to the UK.
Aeolian Offshore and CWind provide the boats, which are normally used to carry maintenance and repair crew between offshore wind farms.
Home Office figures show Aeolian has been paid £2,093,800 since July last year and Cwind £1,786,199 in the same period.
A Home Office spokesperson said: “The catamarans leased under these contracts are considered more suitable for the task of rescuing migrants from small boats, than the larger vessels in the Border Force maritime fleet.
“As a result, our fleet of cutters and coastal-patrol vessels are free to concentrate on tackling the wider threats around the UK coast.
“This includes preventing the smuggling of drugs and firearms into our country.”
This week Reform and the Conservatives accused the Government of “blaming the weather” for record numbers of crossings in the 12 months since April 2024.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: “It is the border- security equivalent of a lazy student claiming ‘the dog ate my homework’.”
The Sun revealed yesterday that immigration was seen as the worst-handled issue under Labour.
A staggering 74 per cent of Brits said the government was doing a bad job, with more than half – 52 per cent – said it’s being handled very badly.
One of the biggest surprises during the Summer Game Fest 2025 wasn’t the Resident Evil: Requiem or Atomic Heart 2.

LEWIS RICHARDSON secured a debut windaloo weekend.
The Colchester lad turned 28 on Wednesday but could not celebrate with his professional boxing bow slated for last night in Ipswich.
Instead the southpaw booked a local curry restaurant for 15 loved ones and just had to deliver the goods in the ring.
And the 2024 Olympic bronze winner did the job, beating tough Estonian Dmitri Protkunas 60-54 on points.
The Brit ace had a loud crowd make the 29-minute drive over from his doorstep.
And they cheered his slick southpaw work, rapid fists and the willingness to drop his hands to his waist, in an effort to get the cautious journeyman to engage.
The Essex ace used to sell Pukka Pies at the Portman Road stadium a decade ago, while doing his school exams.
And he returned to his old stomping ground for six one-sided rounds where he showed plenty of his amateur skill and future potential.
Richardson had to bin his birthday plans to make the middleweight limit for this weekend.
The spicy celebrations have been pushed back but the silky southpaw plans to put in a curry order worthy of a Gavin and Stacey special, to make up for the diet.

“The birthday is postponed for four days,” he revealed to us. “The party is pushed back to Sunday.
“I have a curry house booked in Colchester for 15 of us and my mouth is watering just talking to you about it now.
“I can’t even think about my order now.
“But I can say for sure that I will sound like Smithy with the number of bhunas and naans and rice types I am going to order.”
