To be honest we thought the figure might be higher, but a new Australian study has found that one out of every five CEOs are actually psychopaths. Quite worrying and kind of makes you kind of glad you’re not one. I’m happy to be broke and a little bit weird rather than rich and possibly capable of murder, and possibly even enjoying it. Although journalist comes sixth in one table of careers with the most psychopaths, and even more worryingly,...
Trends and crazes come and go with the turn of the season, yet it’s unlikely that the kitchens focussing on small sharing plates that arrive at the table as and when they are ready will be vanishing any time soon.

They are the the Pokémon Go, the Facebook politicians, and...
Brits are giving their neighbours the cold shoulder, according to new research, with six out of ten people saying they would not feel comfortable asking their next-door neighbour for a cup of sugar. With the Great British Bake Off set to start tonight it seems we Brits are no longer the sociable folk we once were.

From the tea to its real ale, cheese and glorious countryside, that county up t'north certainly has its perks. In fact, so good is it that there is even a genuine campaign to make it an independent state! But before that happens and we start paying export duty on Aunt Bessie's puds and tea bags, we thought we would join in...
