We have all suffered Basil Fawlty bouts of rage in our life, but the good news is that we no longer have to resort to beating our car with a branch in order to vent our frustration. A former fork-lift truck driver has opened the UK's first 'Rage Cage', offering punters the opportunity to destroy household items with bats and hammers. The bizarre attraction - in a disused church - gives children and adults the chance to take out their anger on...

By Wyndham Hacket Pain There was potential for a film about a current athlete who has only recently witnessed major success to feel like an EPSN special, looking behind the scenes of their success. No Easy Mile is more subtle than this and contains much more cinematic skill than the average sports documentary. It may not reach the heights of Asif Kapadia’s Senna, but there is definitely an attempt to delve deeper into the achievements of track athlete Mo Farah...

By James McAllistair @jamesmca90 Back in the early 90s, The New Yorker printed a single-panel pasquinade drawn by Peter Steiner, which featured a computer-savvy canine sat a desk, chatting to another who listened from the floor below; “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog” read the accompanying caption. Wryly indicative of the anonymity afforded to all those who surfed the web, its publication also held a wider significance – symbolically denoting society’s growing fascination and developed understanding of the internet;...

If there was ever a vegetable that has suffered at the hands of an overwhelming lack of versatility the humble sprout would be it. Not only is the sprout usually just lobbed onto a plate simply steamed or boiled it is also often confined to just one meal a week or, prey, one meal a year. I mean, try to think back to a time when you ate sprouts as part of something other than a Sunday roast or Christmas dinner! It...

A government memo about not leaking the original don't leak memo has been leaked. Two consecutive memos were issued to Whitehall staff. The first warned of the consequences of leaking government memos and the second was sent immediately after warning staff not to leak the don't leak memo. It is not clear whether a 'don't leak the don't leak, leak' memo will be sent after both memos made today's front pages. Prime minister Theresa May is thought to be less...

The world's first hydrogen-powered double-decker bus will be trialled in London next year as part of a scheme to phase out 'dirty' diesel buses. London Mayor Sadiq Khan announced on Wednesday that no more 'dirty' pure diesel buses would be added to Transport for London's (TfL) fleet from 2018. Every new single-decker bus made for central London will also be zero-emission. Mr Khan said: "I'm implementing hard-hitting measures to clean up London's toxic air. "I want London to become a...

A London teenager has been jailed for almost three years for dealing thousands of pounds worth of drugs to help his struggling mother with household bills. Mustafa Hussein claimed his mum was working two jobs as money was tight in the house, so he started selling drugs to pay the £3,000 rent arrears. The 19-year-old took drug packages from where he lived in Canning Town, east London, to Kent and was handed a knife and a mobile phone by criminals. One...

After a miserable year for British rail it has today been announced that train fares will be hiked by an average of 2.3 per cent from 2 January. With Southern Rail putting passengers through a torrid year and franchises across the country crumbling owing to a lack of investment, the price increase will come as a slap in the face for most commuters. Some unregulated fares are likely to rise by considerably more than 2.3 per cent, which far outstrips the inflation...
