As inevitable as getting old and paying taxes, there is another instalment in the Fast and Furious franchise. Seemingly unstoppable, the latest adventure represents the eighth outing in 16 years, with a sense that after years of trying the series had finally hit its groove. The last three films have not just created excitement at the box office but also garnered some surprisingly good reviews. Impossible as it may have seemed a few years ago, Fast and Furious 8 opens...
The negative stereotypes about millennials in the workforce are everywhere, they are: lazy, self-entitled, narcissistic, tech-obsessed, job hoppers, and the pejorative list goes on. But these views about millennials aren’t totally accurate. Rather, it’s their untraditional workplace habits that draw the attention of bad press and ludicrously so.

Brexit has gone that mad that two opposing activists, boxing in a ring, almost seems the sane option. How many people would like to step into the ring with Nigel Farage for example? Well this did actually happen, reports the Hackney Citizen, on April’s fools day, but only the UKIP MEP looked foolish in Bethnal Green’s York Hall. Lib Dem activist Toby White went up against UKIP MEP Jonathon Arnott in a bout of “chessboxing.” This sport sees alternate rounds...

Between them they have climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, cycled to Paris, run a marathon in the Arctic circle, kayaked down the Zambezi and driven a Mototaxi across Peru. Now, four friends from Bristol are to take on the ultimate challenge – to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic. Despite having no previous rowing experience, Mark Gibson, Jon Lakin and brothers Steve and Dan Baker, who together form the ‘Nuts over the Atlantic’ team, are taking part in the Talisker Whisky Atlantic...
