By David de Winter  @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Lifestyle There’s something about fringe theatre that really appeals to me.  The close proximity of the audience to the action gives the drama an extra dimension that one does not get from the larger and more established West End theatres.  There is an immediacy of performance and an intimacy which is quite unique and it can be incredibly moving and effective.  So I was more than happy when TLE sent me down to the Tabard...

By Sian O'Flaherty for STYLIGHT With London Fashion Week finished and with Paris Fashion Week opening today STYLIGHT (inspired by Vahram Muratyan) have visually compared and contrasted the differences between the big smoke and the city of love.

The age of 41 has been pinpointed as the moment in life when we stop caring what other people think of us, new research has revealed.  Staying in on a Saturday night, going to the cinema on our own and watching our favourite TV shows regardless of what other people think of them have been shown to be the top signs that we no longer care what people think.

But imagine what life would be like if what you want to do and what you had to do overlapped? Unfortunately, most people don’t enjoy their work. A recent Gallup survey reports that 87% of employees are not engaged with their jobs. This is bad...

By Steve Taggart We all work too hard it seems, e-mails on the bus, work calls on weekend and listening to the drunk boss at least once a week. It appears that we are a nation of workaholics and it is getting worse, especially for those in London.
