By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_lifestyle I moan all the time. I moan that I have nothing to moan about. I have never bother to count how many times I complain a day, but it probably runs into 100's, which I have now discovered is a lot less then the rest of us. The average Brit moans 71 times a week – mainly about poor customer service, other drivers and cold callers, it has just emerged. Researchers who polled 2,000...
By Harry Bedford, Music editor @TLE_Entertain Famed musical collective and electronic sound pioneers Radiophonic Workshop, best known for defining the use of sound effects and pioneering sound design across popular TV, film and music over the past 50 years, release new material through Society of Sound, an online music platform from British audio innovator and manufacturer Bowers & Wilkins. Having come to recognition as the founding members of the BBC’s world famous electronic music department (BBC Radiophonic Workshop), the group...
London has come out as the most expensive place to party on New Year's Eve in a new study that compares popular cities around the world. The poll revealed that almost a quarter of Brits prefer to celebrate the night abroad in order to party harder for their budget, with a night out in the capital potentially seeing Brits spend around £340 per person for just one night out. With a bottle of Champagne in a smart bar costing around £285 and a...
By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle The cast and crew of Unbroken couldn’t be much more stellar; with Angela Jolie directing, the Coen brothers adapting Lauren Hilldenbrand’s memoir of Louis Zamperini’s life into the screenplay, and the exceptional Jack O’Connell in lead. O’Connell lives up to the hype that’s been surrounding him of late, and though he’s received some critical acknowledgement since 2007’s Skins, this is surely his breakthrough role. The film doesn’t disappoint in terms of delivering a gripping, emotive and...
By Sam Inglis @24fpsuk I'm not sure that many documentaries are naturally suited to the cinema. Their stories are often big, but all too frequently the visual treatment of them seems small. The Green Prince proves no exception in this respect. Mosab Hassan Yousef has lived a fascinating life. He's the eldest son of Hassan Yousef, one of the founders of Hamas, and as such he was brought up in a radical family and in a movement that has sanctioned...
Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter @TLE_Sport The recent announcement by McLaren that Fernando Alonso would be returning to the team he left in such acrimonious circumstances seven years ago came as no surprise. Once Alonso confirmed he was leaving Ferrari, McLaren was the obvious choice after it was clear that Mercedes (his first choice) had no space on their team. They have the resources to afford the Spaniard’s hefty salary but, more importantly, with...
Cous cous, prawns and kale are among the foods which millions of Brits consider as ‘posh’, a survey revealed. The detailed study also found risotto, pesto and fajitas made the list as did hummus, sushi and sea bass. Italian cheese mozzarella, rocket and even beetroot are also now considered up-market. The study showed that eight in ten Brits feel that certain foods are seen as ‘trendy’ now and that like everything thing else, foods come in and out of fashion. It also...
Sport News 24/7 By Rob Latham @robilaz @TLE_Sport Ipswich Town do not conjure up great memories for Eidur Gudjohnsen. Despite going on to become a Premier League winner with Chelsea and a Champion of Europe with Barcelona, the Icelandic striker is seemingly still haunted by previous disappointment at the hands of the Suffolk club. The forward’s last game for Bolton Wanderers was against Ipswich, when he scored but then got injured in the first leg of their First Division (now...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor of The London Economic Before the News at Ten began, David Dimbleby flashed onto the screen to push the biggest question time since Nick Griffin was thrown to the wolves. He mentioned Farage and Brand but didn’t bother to mention the Labour or Tory representative this evening (or the Times journo for that matter). It appeared mainstream politics is even irrelevant on Question Time. I think the Sunday Times hack must have seen the advert preceding...
