By Darryl Griffiths @legallyBOD  'There are no two words more harmful in the English language than good job.' Regardless of our chosen fields, many of us have been exposed to the idea of a 'mentor' as we strive to reach the pinnacle of our professions. Guiding us. Driving us. Some, heavy on sentimentality as they nurture. Others, toeing the line between firm and fair. Finally, we have the morally questionable drill sergeants, brimming with squirm-inducing bile that rings and sporadically...

With January well and truly under way and New Year's resolutions already starting to crumble, now is the time we really struggle to keep our diets up. New research has revealed boredom, expense and will power are among the top reasons for giving up a diet, with chocolate, alcohol and fizzy drinks the hardest treats for women to give up or cut back on when watching their weight. The study, commissioned by SodaStream, found a whopping 83 per cent only last an...

Sport News 24/7 By David Thomson  Normally at this time of year with Christmas and New Year being over the pantomime season is starting to wrap up. The biggest pantomime this season is happening in Scotland – no it is not Cinderella that stars John Barrowman and the Krankies at the Scottish Exibihition Centre in Glasgow - it is happening at Ibrox Stadium, the home of Glasgow Rangers. This pantomime is going to be a classic. You have the current...

Set within 123 acres of rolling Surrey parkland, a stone's throw away from Ascot, the training ground of the England Rugby Team and the prestigious Wentworth golf club is Chef Michael Wingall’s two Michelin starred restaurant. Pennyhill Park is an exclusive hotel and spa that showcases an eclectic mix of grandeur and rustic naturalist architecture. Ivy climbs the walls turning a deep shade of crimson as it peaks below the pointed turrets of the building. The sprawling greenery planted in the...

A short drive from the capital and a retreat worthy of a visit for any busy Londoner. Let's face it, Sunday is a pain. Either you are too hangover to move, your partner makes you do a bout of dangerous DIY or you force yourself out on a two hour run. That aside it’s a school night, so Mrs TLE and I decided to sneak out to the country (as you do) to try and lift the Sunday gloom, even...

An interactive map of the world has been built by the people at Musement  showing the filming locations for well over 300 of the most famous films of all time. Did you know Jurassic Park, the Canyon of the Crescent Moon and the satellite dish in GoldenEye are all real world locations which can be visited?  Using the map below you can discover how to visit Hogwarts, re-live Bilbo Baggins’ adventures in New Zealand or remember the suspense pervading Michael...

Britain has often been criticised for looking to other countries for ideas and solutions instead of solving things for itself, and now it seems that Mayor Boris Johnson has taken some inspiration from Indonesia for a way to alleviate traffic problems in the city. Boris was taken on a bicycle tour of Jakarta by President Joko Widodo and was rather impressed with the car-free Sunday system that the city has implemented for the last 16 years. Although he admitted that...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport I predicted four out of four results from a very entertaining NFL Play-off weekend.  However there's only one place to start my review. The catch that wasn’t a catch and the drama and suspense that follows the Cowboys was there for all to see at Lambeau Field as Dallas lost out to a harsh ruling.  They believe they were robbed, but where they? The play in question was on 4th and 2, a...
