Brits Would Rather Live In the TARDIS than a Millionaire Manor

Whether it’s the manor in Charmed or Rachel and Monica’s apartment in Friends, television characters have a habit of living in impressive homes. And why shouldn’t they? Behind the scenes a lot of work goes in to making the sets as appealing as possible. Now a new study has charted the top twenty fictional homes where Brits would love to live. Whilst Carrie Bradshaw's apartment and Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) were featured, the winner was rather out of this world. The...

Who Decided Jeremy Corbyn Is Unelectable?

This weekend Jeremy Corbyn was re-elected Labour leader fending off rival Owen Smith by some 119,000 votes with a victory that delivered an even more commanding mandate than when he first took the nation by storm in 2015. But that has done little to appease the media, his co-politicians or the raft of doomsayer commentators. Corbyn is Mr Unelectable, and there’s nothing that grinds our gears more than an unelectable politician getting elected. But “who decided he is unelectable,” political...

Why Your Business Needs to use Protection

The online world is a dangerous place, and it’s all too easy for the unwary to fall prey to external attacks and internal security breaches. Business software can become infected and end up needing malware removal. From merely being a nuisance, malware has become big business and nobody is immune from the threat. Read the advice from FileHippo on how to protect your business. What Is Malware? The term malware covers a number of things. It encompasses computer viruses that...

Has Britain Escaped the Brexit Blow?

In the immediate wake of Brexit, British citizens had a minor meltdown. There were multiple reports of people who had voted to exit only to demonstrate their discontent, and calls for a second referendum once citizens understood how high stakes their decision really was. The FTSE 100 plummeted, the value of the pound fell to a 31-year low, and there were doomsayers on every corner. So it comes as nothing short of a surprise to see that, nearly three months...

Spirit of the Month – Jim Beam Double Oak

By act of congress, September was declared National Bourbon Heritage Month for the United States in 2007. The exact origins are murky, though the history of America’s ‘Native Spirit’ can be traced back as far as the late 1700s with Jim Beam being amongst the earliest bourbon distilleries, still operating today with over 200 years of experience. An extensive process, bourbon is required by US law to be made with at least 51 per cent corn, and to be aged...

The Case Against Heathrow Is Not The Case For Gatwick

It’s Either a Third Runway or No Runway, But Theresa May is on course to do both. The easiest way to spot a failing campaign is to seek out the one that argues the shortcomings of its opponent rather than championing its own merits. After years of deliberation, costly enquiries and even costlier marketing ploys the decision on airport capacity in southeast England, or so I’m reliably informed, is nigh. Rumours are that Theresa May will go ahead with expansion...

Brexit Means Out of the Single Market

Britain's exit from the European Union means an exit from the single market, UKIP leader Nigel Farage has today re-emphasised. The outspoken politician tweeted a video where he says Britain has voted to take control back of our "laws, our borders, our fisheries, and crucially, we voted to leave the single market". Many 'out' voters have been confident that Britain would be able to renegotiate inclusion in the single market if we voted to leave. However, like promises on the...

‘Hangover-free alcohol’ is coming & I’m not sure it is good for me…or anyone

I like a drink, probably too much to be honest. I blame my upbringing in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and a mother who self-medicates, all ailments, with Gin. It works…until she starts crying. So the news that a synthetic alcohol could cure hangovers completely is the best thing I have ever heard. It would be as good as Mary Berry moving to Channel 4 to join Paul Hollywood, if I cared about watching people bake. Then I thought about it and realised that...

Restaurant Review – Petit Pois Bistro

Unlike Burger & Lobster, Bao, Duck & Waffle and other popular restaurants with names that showcase their signature (and sometimes solitary) dishes – there is not a pea in sight on the menu at Petit Pois Bistro. Opened just a few months ago, the restaurant is a new venture from the team behind successful cocktail bars Happiness Forgets and Original Sin, “tired of all the new restaurants in London being either super fine-dining, or gourmet fast food.” Taking over a...
