Couple turn their garden hedge into 8ft-tall Pac-Man

A couple have told why they have turned their front garden hedge into an 8ft-tall PAC-MAN. Patrick and Sandra Moyle have spent the last two years shaping the bush to look like the pill-popping game character. They've even designed it so that its mouth includes the road sign for their cul-de-sac in Ivybridge, Devon. Patrick, 66, a retired police officer, said the idea first took root with their son-in-law Thomas Merkl. He was waiting for a knee replacement two years...

Theatre Review: JOAN, Ovalhouse

Brush up on your horse impression kids; Joan of Arc has come to town. Oh Joany Joan Joan. Joany McJoaningtons. I've been trying to work out how to review this show for almost a week, although I admittedly took four days off over Easter to stare into space, take a long hard look at my life, and subsequently binge-listen to Serial (I know, very 2014). Very unprofessional delay. Won't happen again. I try to write reviews that are informative, hopefully...

Acid attacks: Is Sadiq Khan sleeping on the job?

The rise of London’s acid attacks prove we need to change legislation NOW. It is the job of our elected officials to assess current situations and provide appropriate responses, that is not being done in London. With the rise of acid attacks it’s time for Sadiq Khan to prove he can handle running a dynamic and ever-changing city like the capital. On Easter Monday this week 20 people were injured when a corrosive liquid was sprayed over clubbers at Mangle...

Could Lib Dems save us from a One Party State?

Rebellion, uprising, or insurrection is a refusal of obedience or order. It refers to the open resistance against the orders of an established authority. But with Labour in disarray, the opposition looks divided, which is perfect for the Conservative party to conquer - which looks set to happen according to political commentators and bookmakers. So what will the alternative vote look like? Despite polls and bookies predicting a landslide victory for Paul Dacre’s Daily Mail minion Theresa May in this...

Could the Lib Dems win the snap election?

As far as political polling goes you could do far worse than keeping an eye on Business Insider. The industry rag samples double the amount of people than regular pollsters and correctly tipped an exit from the European Union in last year's election against all the odds. And following the announcement of a snap election on June 8th it has tipped an unlikely candidate as the winner - The Liberal Democrats. According to their poll some 40 per cent of...

Check Out High Impact Sports Bras Which Are Important During Workout

It can be argued that, other than obvious physiological, anatomical and biological differences between women and men, perhaps one of the major reasons holding back women’s optimal performance in sports are bouncing boobs. Don’t you think? Seriously, when you’ve done some form of high-intensity or high-impact sports activity before, like basketball, you must know that we have a point. High Impact Sports Require High Impact Support Yet, with the availability of high-impact bras, there really isn’t any excuse when it...

The Belko Experiment: Film Review

By Linda Marric The very first time I came across The Belko Experiment was a few weeks ago through a controversial review in which an American critic explains why he felt the need to walk out of the screening of the film out of sheer despair and anger at the violence being shown on screen. As I am not here to judge another reviewer’s actions, I will instead attempt to justify why I didn’t completely hate the film, and why...

How to stop the Tories: A definitive guide

Britain has just six weeks to prepare for what could go down as one of the biggest General Elections in history, and if you take the pollsters by their word (which few of us do any more) the Tories are on hand to steamroller the opposition. The Conservatives are set to win a 100-seat majority at the snap election, analysis by Britain’s most respected pollster for The Telegraph has suggested. If current polling was replicated the Tories would win an estimated 375 seats...

Clash: Film Review

By Stephen Mayne There’s a grand ambition to Clash that belies its closeted setting. The entire film takes place in the back of a riot van. The van might move but the camera never leaves the confined metal space. Yet by throwing in a broad spectrum of Egyptian society, writer/director Mohamed Diab manages a near perfect distillation of the problems facing a country wracked by uncertainty and division. The action takes place in 2013 in Egypt after the elected President...
