By Jack Peat  Mexican food has been somewhat absent, or at least under represented, in the UK for some time. Whereas people in the US enjoy burritos and tacos as a staple high street diet us Brits have been left to seek out our refried beans and pulled meats. But not for much longer. A new wave of fast food – or perhaps I should use ‘over the counter’ to avoid the negative connotations - Mexican restaurants have finally found...

By Charlotte Hope Celebrities Throwing Water on Themselves Remember ‘necknominate’? Remember how terrible that was, and how people kept getting put in hospital and disowned by their friends for being the worst? Yes. So do I. So it’s time to welcome the new craze - the ‘ice bucket challenge’! I think you’ll agree that it’s come at an ideal time given the swelteringly hot Summer we’re experiencing in the UK, with temperatures in the North soaring to 17 degrees celsius....

By Jack Peat  At 5pm on every Saturday for as long as I can remember I have tuned into the radio to hear the voice of James Alexander Gordon. The passing of a man whose dulcet tones have become synonymous with the classified football results will deeply sadden many fans of the sport who, like me, will recall with nostalgia sitting in a car as the hot air blew from the heaters after 90 minutes on the terrace as the...

David Landon Cole The bitcoin - a currency based on a hash function - is often touted as the future and a recent article on The London Economic buys into that. I have a few objections with the piece that I'd like to look at. The premise for the article is an unattributed post on Reddit. The post claims that the US Federal Reserve commissioned research internally into the bitcoin, suggesting that it would overtake the mighty greenback between 2021...

By Vladimir Remmer The world financial equilibrium was devastated in 2006 when the US housing market bubble finally burst. Real Estate prices plummeted, wiping out securities tied to housing and striking financial institutions globally. The human toll was staggering and manifested in mass evictions, bankruptcies and foreclosures, combined with catastrophic job market contraction and prolonged unemployment. The consumer wealth adjustment, estimated to be trillions of US dollars, inhibited economic activity throughout most of the world and led to the 2008...

By James Mackney @JimMackney Going into yesterday's opening clash I thoroughly expected to get hit for a cricket score despite Liverpool being a Suarez down. In actuality this was far from the truth and Saints gave a thoroughly good account of themselves with a high pressing and near-polished performance. The front line of Tadić, Pellé and Ward-Prowse are in an embryonic state but there were flashes of link up play that suggest that it will not take long for them...

Soho is awash with a new generation of what I'd call 'accessible gastronomic' bars, cafes and restaurants. If you're a traditionalist who prefers food to be served on a plate and Prosecco served from the bottle it's probably not a place for you - although your conservatism has probably kept you away from the area for some time - but if a bit of non-conformity tickles your taste buds, you're in for a treat. Homeslice is typical of Soho's new...

By Felipe Mattei,  @FelipeMatteiOil Be honest, have you never secretly considered giving acting a try? Wondered how it would be like to star in a movie? But then only to let your dream deflate against the hard truth that it’s just too risky to try. But what if there was a way to start acting without leaving your job or studies? Would you finally give it a shot? I found the time to start my acting career in London without having...
