By Charlotte Hope Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle I get really blubbery in the Winter. I hate it. It’s cold and I want to stay indoors and drink tea and eat chocolate/anything in the house. Everything in the house. In addition, the second the clock strikes midnight on December 1st it is a struggle not to eat my entire advent calendar and drink gallons of mulled wine. A friend of mine has a theory that in December ‘a cold wind blows’ and...

By Charlotte Hope Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle Kim Kardashian tries to ‘break the internet’  Kim Kardashian (West), who I’ve frankly given too much Column space to already, has tried to ‘break the internet’in conjunction with Paper magazine, with a cover featuring her famous bottom in all its naked glory. Naked and really greasy looking. It’s huge, everyone. It’s absolutely fucking massive. My friends have commented on what they think is an unattractive part of her body, but I can’t stop looking...

Christmas is almost here which means a guilt-free month of indulgence. We sent our very own David de Winter to sample the delights of Champagne and cheese in the run-up to the festive season, and now you have the chance to sample the fizz for yourself thanks to Cattier Champagne which is giving away three bottles in the run up to the festive period. Cattier Champagne, one of the oldest, family-owned Champagne makers, has been growing grapes since 1763. The...

By David de Winter – Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport  The announcement by FIFA’s self-appointed ‘independent’ ethics committee that it was closing its investigation into alleged corruption over the bidding process to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups was not surprising.  If I’d set up my own ‘independent ethics committee’ made-up of my cronies to overview corruption in my own company I’d probably come to the same conclusion.  “The Investigatory Chamber of the FIFA did not find any violations or...

The number of emails being read on mobile devices has soared, new research has found, with the number of emails read on iPhones doubling in a year. Data from SendGrid has revealed the number of emails read on iPhones doubled in London, with people in Manchester reading five times more emails on theirs.

By Charlotte Hope - Lifestyle Editor I always thought my parents did quite well for themselves (thank you very much) but it turns out they didn't, they are beneath me; strange as I still borrow cash off them. But it turns out I am in the minority, as according to new research modern Brits believe they are more successful than their parents ever were. A study of 2,000 current British workers looked at the relationship between their careers and the...

By Rosie Wilson By now, we’ve all seen the raunchy Kim Kardashian photoshoot for PAPER magazine, which landed this morning and caused massive controversy. Say what you will about Kimmy K, but you can’t deny she’s looking good. Here’s how to get her sleek, sexy look - from head to toe… Kim Kardashian is one of the most famous women in the world, and definitely the owner of the most famous bum. We’re used to seeing 34-year-old Kim in figure...

By Nick Figgis A seriously inconvenient truth, but it might be time we face it. Kuhn and Anderson's thrilling documentary is a rare gem in environmental film – it poses questions and actually answers them. I watched most of Cowspiracy muttering expletives under my breath. For a meat and dairy eater, whose girlfriend has been known to ask if I “want some toast with my butter,” it's an eye opener but not in the way you might expect. Fear not,...
