‘Veganuary’ is here in full force, but if you’re willing to give the plant-based diet a shot for a little longer, you could earn yourself an impressive salary in the process.
Are you one of those people who chomps down on a cheeseburger while saying things like “you’d have to pay me thousands to give this up”?
Well, one company is willing to take you up on that offer.
Vibrant Vegan – a plant based meal subscription service – is on the lookout for the UK’s biggest meat eater to become its Vegan Curious Coordinator in the hopes they can be persuaded to give it all up in favour of some mouthwatering plant products for three months, and if you think you could endure those few weeks without bacon, burgers, steak and everything else on the meat aisle, you could be in with the chance of earning yourself the equivalent of a £50,000 salary, as well as a supply of vegan ready meals to help ensure you don’t starve over the course of the challenge.
The chosen participant for the role will simply be required to test vegan products and share their honest thoughts on social media.

A registered nutritionist will be on hand to help you plan plant-based meals, while a chef will also be available to help you adjust to the new lifestyle, and if you successfully make it to the end of the three months without caving into your cravings, Vibrant Vegan will then offer one final test – could you say goodbye to meat for the rest of 2021?
If you think the answer’s yes, the company will offer a lifetime supply of their meals – worth £100,000 – in exchange for evidence of continued veganism posted on social media and supplied through a food diary.

Speaking on the launch of the Vegan Curious Coordinator role, Iain Burke-Hamilton – Founder of Vibrant Vegan – said: “There was a time when being vegan was an all or nothing lifestyle choice, and vegan food options were considered lesser than their meat-based counterparts [but] as we head into the New Year, we at Vibrant Vegan want to demonstrate not only the health and environmental benefits of being vegan that we hear so much about, but also highlight that vegan food can, and should, be enjoyed by everyone – even the UK’s biggest meat lover
“We’re incredibly excited to hire our first Vegan Curious Coordinator and to watch them share their journey with people that love good food and are interested in a vegan lifestyle but perhaps feel it’s too much of a commitment or simply aren’t sure where to start.
“Everyone has their own reasons for choosing veganism – we want to show it doesn’t have to be all or nothing, and you don’t have to sacrifice good food for the cause.”

Applications for the Vegan Curious Coordinator close on 25th January 2021, before the challenge begins in February, so you’ve got a few weeks to make your final meaty meals count.

The player celebrations from Stockport County’s League Two trophy presentation are glorious
Danny Jones
If you’re a Stockport County fan, you’ve had a very good year as the Hatters have just been crowned League Two champions and will be back in the English third tier next season – safe to say they’ve been making most of the trophy celebrations.
Players and staff very much included.
Edgeley was filled with flares and even people climbing on rooftops when they officially secured promotion back to League One for the first time in 12 years – the second time they’ve managed to go up in three seasons – and there was a great attendance in Stockport town centre for the bus parade.
But it was last week’s trophy presentation back at the stadium that produced some of the most memorable scenes, with County topping off a season of impressive and often high-scoring performances on the pitch with plenty more pageantry. Cue the music.
We still haven’t stopped laughing at Kyle Knoyle.
From bringing Isaac Olaofe’s ‘Tanto’s on fire!’ chant to life to hammering home puns on names like Fraser Horsfall, no matter how obvious, these are the kind of deeply unserious celebrations we expect from a trophy presentation.
County fan or not, you’ve got to admit it looks like a good party.
It’s moments like these that players, fans and staff work hard all season for; to prat around like muppets in front of their adoring supporters. They even got assistant coach, Clint Hill, in the mix and, as it turns out, he proved to be one of the biggest ring-leaders.
We sincerely hope the Hatters keep trickling out more of these party scenes as we know there’s plenty more that fans would love to watch back.
We’re still yet to see captain Paddy Madden, who won Player of the Month for April, and the gaffer himself, Dave Challinor, who has comfortably secured his legacy as one of the club’s all-time greats.
Challinor and the club have made no secret of seriously eyeing up the Championship and who knows what else at County’s momentum continues to build, especially with a huge stadium redevelopment kicking off soon.
What do you reckon, Hatters – do you reckon a third promotion could be on the cards?
Liam Gallagher says he’ll ‘gig in Lidl’ if Co-op Live still isn’t ready – and they sound pretty game for it
Danny Jones
Following the ongoing palaver with Co-op Live, Liam Gallagher has joked that he’d happily play his scheduled gigs in a Lidl if the arena still isn’t ready – at least we think he’s joking…
With Liam Gallagher having been named as one of the first acts booked to play Co-op Live last year, many are now wondering whether the venue will even by June, with the former Oasis frontman set to play four Definitely Maybe 30th-anniversary sets. That being said, he’s come up with a solution if not.
Vintage LG, we’ll give him that.
Obviously a bit of a tongue-in-cheek quip at the venue being sponsored by a supermarket and convenience store chain, it could have been any other competitor that the ever-witty youngest Gallagher brother picked but it somehow made it extra funny that he chose a budget brand like Lidl.
However, with the 51-year-old already having fun with stunts like voicing the tannoys on the Metrolink last year, for instance, we wouldn’t put it past him to take this joke a little further.
Better still, not that we’re getting carried away or anything but Lidl themselves seem pretty keen on the idea too; they even spent the time to build an entire setlist for the fictional show. Fair play.
Can you imagine? Liam Gallagher swapping the occasional tambourine shake for beeps from a barcode scanner as he moves back and forth on the conveyor belt. We know it’s absolute nonsense and we definitely shouldn’t be even remotely considering it… BUT it’s the stuff of dreams and strange things have happened.
A lot of stranger things have happened this week alone. As for the latest with Co-op Live, the Chairman and CEO of key-backers Oak View Group, Tim Leiweke, issued a full statement sharing his “sincere apologies”and insisting that they understand “there is work to be done to rebuild your trust in us.”
With the likes of Olivia Rodrigo, Peter Kay, The Black Keys and more having their gigs pulled by the venue due to numerous issues, including an air conditioning unit falling from the ceiling, fans are understandably fearful that other upcoming events could face delays or general misfortune.
Much like the venue itself, we imagine we’ll be playing catch-up on this whole saga for the foreseeable, but here’s a recap of the story so far:
