Patriots win gripping Super Bowl XLIX

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes and became a four time Super Bowl winner as the New England Patriots came through two weeks of controversy to beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24.  It was a fantastic game that was littered with drama throughout but for me, the 4th quarter demonstrated why the Super Bowl is such a great sporting occasion. At 24-14 going into the 4th it looked like a repeat of last...

The Millennial Attitude Towards Property

By Emily Maree, Creative Content Editor for Plentific.com Renting versus buying has always been a tough choice, never more so than the last 10 years. Many moons ago, our parents would have bought a property and are probably still at that address now - they’ve hung up their coats and they’re there for the long haul. However, Generation Y have a very different way of looking at property and the way they engage with it. Shorter attention spans and itchy...

A quick stop guide to Cambodia.

By Neil Kook Welcome to the Kingdom of Cambodia. You have arrived, but where should you go? Opportunity comes from every angle and one should be selective to make the most out of this adventure. For starters one should explore Phnom Penh. Situated at the confluence of three rivers, the Mekong, and the general Bessac Tonle Sap Lake, the capital becomes “The Pearl of Asia”, a hectic city, full of imaginative modern reconstruction which has managed to keep its architectural French heritage. If...

David Morin “Why do I busk?”

By David Morin I am often asked why I continue to busk when I have access to so many opportunities to play in venues and I understand why people are perplexed. Most people may think it's a low-brow form of entertainment, and in all honesty they are partially correct, but mostly I think, incorrect. I quit my job in 2010 to play music full-time. If it wasn’t for the cold hard streets, I wouldn’t have the fans, the amazing team,...

Record Review: Peace – Happy People

By Declan Roberts (@DeclanMR) Peace Happy People Columbia 09/02/2015 Where do you begin with Peace? A band out of Birmingham with no fear and no idea of their ‘future success’. It’s a mystery question. Firstly, the fact that the resurgence of indie-pop is a secure mantelpiece for them to play for. Secondly, Harry Koisser is a superb songwriter. He knows every little detail for a perfect pop tune that turns into a gig anthem when played live. It’s enhanced with...

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic Last night I attended a small theatre production in Chiswick based on the life of Marie Curie. I won't bore you with the details, but Curie’s first husband Pierre was a played by a typically refined character  who sported a mustard yellow jacket, waistcoat and chinos in true Ted Baker fashion. In fact, his bearded face and flat cap would look downright ordinary in certain London boroughs, I remember thinking, if not for...

Jupiter Ascending – Film Review

By Anna Power @TLE_Film Editor @KittPower “I have more in common with a dog than I do with you” Caine (Channing Tatum or should it be Canine?) The blunder bus has arrived. There were EU food mountains less criminally wasteful than the Wachowski’s latest film, a lavish effrontery to the sci-fi genre and filmmaking in general. Epic both in length and the endurance it takes to sit through it, it’s a crushing disappointment from The Matrix team. Visually magnificent, the...
