Review by Leslie Byron Pitt What can we say about a film called Tomboy? We can say that this transgender switching revenge flick is as offensive as it is boring. What’s more frustrating is that it’s co-written and directed by the great Walter Hill whose stripped-down features of previous eras were brilliant examples of both social commentary and economical entertainment.

According to the results of a survey held by Hen Heaven this year – a website dedicated to Hen Party ideas, the Mojito has overtaken the Piña Colada as the UK’s favourite cocktail. Perhaps thanks to the increase in number of bars serving ‘Mojitos’ that would work as a reasonable toothpaste substitute, the Mojito we’re used to in the UK is somewhat repugnant. Fortunately, just in time for spring, Ichiryu (the Hakata Udon House owned by The Japan Centre Group)...

Twice weekly yoga classes help men undergoing prostate cancer treatment have better sex lives and be less tired, a new study found. Men who attended a 75 minute long yoga session twice a week during prostate cancer radiation treatment were less tired and had better sexual and urinary function than those who didn't. Scientists said yoga benefits the men because it strengthens the pelvic floor while the exercise improved their emotional and physical well-being more as treatment progressed. Over 40,000...

Back in 2012 he claimed that President Obama would launch a strike in Syria because he was "desperate" over falling results in opinion polls, but Obama wasn't suffering nearly as badly as President Trump is today. The Republican leader's overall approval rating lowest in history for this stage of presidency, with 54 per cent of voters disapproving...
