Office Christmas Party: Film Review
By Linda Marric @linda_marric Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck, Office Christmas Party sees the return of a pairing responsible for some of the highest-grossing comedies of the last few years. Fresh from starring in the rather disappointing sequel of Horrible Bosses, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman are back for more awkward gross-out moments and silly shenanigans. Also starring in the film is TJ Miller of Silicon Valley fame, and Saturday Night Live’s Kate McKinnon. Clay (TJ Miller) manages...

VaR, IFA, AER – What The FSA!
How many times have you heard jargon such as VaR, IFA and AER and had no idea what on Earth people were talking about? When it comes to finances ignorance is bliss for most Brits, but it could be costing us a lot of money. A new report has found that two thirds of people could be losing out on cash because they don’t fully understand many financial terms, and 74 per cent say they feel completely bamboozled when talking to financial experts....
How Monk Turned Around Leeds
Sport News 24/7 We’re through the first week of December and Leeds United still have the same manager at the helm as they did in August – that tells you all you need to know about how well Leeds are faring under Garry Monk. The form of the side at Elland Road in recent years has been appalling, but pride is returning along with the buzz around the old stadium.

Sutton United prove that magic of the FA Cup still exists
Sport News 24/7 By Richard de Winter - TLE Sports Columnist @rgdewinter @TLE_Sport I am just about of the generation that still believes in the so-called ‘magic of the cup.’ In my extreme youth, Cup Final Day was an event, one of few live football matches on the TV.

Can Movies Successfully Make the Transition into The Gaming Industry?
It seems simple; take a mega popular movie and tap into a ready made audience consisting of hordes of game fanatics. Unfortunately, this basic formula doesn’t always pay off; some movies don’t translate successfully into games, and some are adapted and altered to such a degree the gamer expecting a good facsimile of the film they’ve seen ends up very disappointed. It doesn’t stop game developers trying though, and amongst the misses have been some hits so they’re either considered acceptable...
Lessons Bingo Sites Could Teach UK Businesses
In an economic climate in which it seems that every business is struggling, there are some that still thrive. Online bingo is an industry that has continued to grow and there are quite a few lessons that other UK businesses can use. This growth is even more impressive when you consider the taxes that are enforced on the gambling industry. The tax levied is actually more when the industry as a whole is considered, which means it’s even harder for...
Scientists reveal the best way to protect your children from asthma
They say that the best way to build a child's immune system is to allow them to be exposed to germs, and the same theory could be applied to asthma according to new scientific research. A new study has revealed that growing up on a farm protects you from getting asthma triggered by allergies.
