Theresa May tells UK economy it has six months to live

Theresa May called the UK economy into her surgery and told it that it only has six months to live. Reportedly May told the terminally ill economy, “By the end of March next year you will be dead, I’m sorry but we have decided that is the case.” The economy, in desperation asked for second opinion, but that was refused. May could only take the first answer, as if she was a contestant on The Chase. “No you will live...

The 24hr tube is ten years too late for London…and for me

Last night I was at a dinner party in Stoke Newington, at a friend’s plush house I could only dream of ever owning. It was a lovely evening, and dare I say it…very middle class. I was the most common attendee by far, which I clung onto as we drank £40 bottles of wine. But I guess you don’t have to fight the power every day and sometimes it is nice to spend time with people much richer and successful...

Homicidal Androids, Customer Services and the Birth of a Monster with Persona Synthetics

In third year of uni I took a bit of a mental turn on a night out and was suddenly convinced that everyone around me was a replicant; a robot masquerading as a human, with viscous porridge for blood and a hard-wired hatred for humanity. ‘I’m the only meatbag here,’ I thought, ‘how could I be so blind?’ My mind bucked and waned under the philosophical crisis of it. Then of course there was the physical threat. At any moment...

The Weekly Cocktail Recipe – Jack Daniel’s 150th Anniversary Champagne Sazerac

Is This The Face of Post-Brexit Britain?

Look at it. Horrifying, right? That eccentric, brazen, cigar smoking, rosy cheeked toff wedged in between two show girls and John McCririck. As harmless as it looks from the outset this picture could well be the face of post-Brexit Britain, and I for one want to get off. It’s like a bad dream. New bookie moves into Mayfair and invites a Conservative’s wet dream along to cut the ribbon and sip bubbles as the rest of the UK figures out...

Review – Unlimited Boozy Brunch at Big Easy Bar.B.Q & Crabshack, Covent Garden

Venturing out at the weekend for brunch has become incredibly popular in recent years, but with such a great number of restaurants jumping on board, so many of the menus have become implausibly predictable. First there are the various perfunctory takes on Eggs Benedict, from classic Royale and Florentine through to less authentic strands that employ the likes of pulled pork, or substitute English muffins with waffles. When “brunching” it’s also difficult to escape outbreaks of avocado pandemic and jugs...
