How to keep your gadgets safe on a city break

By Krissa Cavouras So far, the twenty-first century has been all about connectivity -- your mobile is now smarter than you are, your clunky computer got replaced with a sleek tablet, and you can’t leave home without either. So when you go on holiday, an ounce of prevention is worth a thousand quid of cure. (And if you’re traveling with your smart phone, a tablet and a decent camera, that’s probably how much your tech is worth!) Before you board...

Growing economic bubbles

By Guy Dorrell @GuyDorrellEsq Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, interviewed on Sky News’ Murnaghan programme spoke about the risks to UK economic recovery in particular "those risks that centre in the housing market”. He was referring to the potential for overheating of a market with plenty of demand – much of it fuelled by foreign investment – but with a supply side providing half the stock of new builds compared with his native Canada. Average asking...

Why Sleep is So Important

By Olly Smith - Smiths The Rink furniture store. Sleep plays a vital role in our health and general well-being. This is why disruption to our sleep pattern at night can often leave us feeling groggy and often grumpy during the day. And with the average Britain getting two hours less sleep at night than they used to, good quality sleep has become almost as important for our bodies as water and a healthy diet. With our internal body clocks...

Fracking is Here – Now We Must Control It!

By J T Coombes The Queens Speech on 4th June is the worst case scenario for the people of this country. Our Prime Minister has sided with big business, over the electorate, by allowing vast volumes of chemicals to be injected into the ground under our homes without our permission. With over 70% of people against this invasion, how could he simply change established trespass laws by driving a coach and horses through the democratic process? In his desperate attempt to...

Obituary, Rik Mayall 1958 – 2014

By John S.Locke What do you say when a hero of yours dies? Especially when he is only 4 years older than yourself. A man who has been in your life for over 30 years as a part of the consciousness of your generation. It is surprising how much it has upset me personally, and judging by the continuous stream of beautiful, touching messages, comments and statements of disbelief, grief and genuine sorrow on Social media, I am not alone...

Nigel Farage probably likes pasties

Popular opinion often shifts to the right during recessions with people blaming "others" for their current poor fortunes. They always look back to the past "before those guys showed up" and see things through rose tinted spectacles. But a great deal of UKIP's current success is due to image and perception...

David Luiz for £50 million, what were they thinking?

By John Simms I'm sure no one would argue with me when I say that David Luiz is not worth £50 million. Even in relative terms it's a crazy amount to spend on a player of his quality. He is undoubtedly a good defender but at the current going rate that fee could buy almost any other player in the world. He has sparkled in patches for Chelsea but is error prone and has a tendency to get carried away,...

New-look England set for Sri Lanka Test

David de Winter - Sports Writer On the same day the football World Cup kicks-off a few thousand miles away in Brazil, England’s cricket team will embark on their first test series, against Sri Lanka, since the 5-0 debacle in Australia.  There is a real sense of a new era with this squad.  Graeme Swann, Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott, big players for almost a decade, are no longer involved in the set-up for various reasons and Peter Moores has...
