E-Sports: The New Growth Area For Las Vegas Tourism

Riding on the back of the digital revolution, e-sports have massively gained in popularity over the last decade and a half. An incredible 205 million people either took part in or were spectators in e-sports during 2014. While in the past much of the growing audience has been based in Asia, now, Europe and North America are now beginning to pick up the pace and embrace e-sports as enthusiastically as their cousins overseas. So, what does this mean for Las...

Boris Johnson Uses The Force To Push Cameraman Over

The video was picked up by the team at Have I Got News For You, prompting Ian Hislop to say “for the first time, I’m actually frightened”. @BorisJohnson uses The Force to take down cameraman #starwars #HIGNFY @haveigotnews pic.twitter.com/jW1Cl6wfXu — Alistair Higham (@AlistairHigham1) May 16, 2016 It was later revealed that the cameraman fell back over a palate supporting bulky-looking bags.  Boris...

Jon Snow Favourite For Man Utd Job After Quitting The Wall

Jon Snow is odds-on favourite to take the vacant managerial position at Manchester United after resigning as Lord Commander of the Night's Watch. Despite admitting to "knowing nothing" about the game, the United board has seen fit to take Snow over the hugely experienced José Mourinho, who said he is "heart broken" by the decision in a two-page long sonnet to the board. But they were quick to point out the similarities between the two managers. Like Mourinho, Snow left The Wall after loosing...

Restaurant Review: Darbaar, Shoreditch

There are some 9,000 ‘curry’ restaurants in Britain, yet 99 per cent of them are cut from the same cloth. The Balti of Birmingham, the Tikka Masala of Glasgow and the onslaught of other salty, creamy dishes acting under the guise of ‘Indian food’ have created a unique Anglo-Indian style far removed from its country of origin, but that could be about to change. Britain is facing an unprecedented curry crisis as ageing chefs shut up shop at a rate...

Workplace conflict: How do you deal with the stress and not blow a fuse?

Sometimes things can get fraught in the workplace. Many workplaces are a strange melting pot of people from different backgrounds, forced together in a bid to meet the aims and ambitions of a company, and their own ambitions. It’s perhaps to be expected that people thrown together in this way might well disagree about things, especially if under pressure. A disagreement is fine, but if it festers and grows into a dispute then it can harm a business. In 2014-15...

European Air Fare War Looms

A European air fare war is looming after Ryanair said it is to cut prices by seven per cent this year. Intensifying competition from air lines such as Transavia, Eurowings, Wizz and WOW air has forced the hand of Ryanair chief executive Michael O'Leary, who said: "If there is a fare war in Europe, then Ryanair will be the winner". The cuts come after full year net profits fell short of analyst forecasts, with disruption following the Brussels terror attacks taking its toll. First quarter profits...

Boris Johnson Set to Receive £70k Parachute pay From City Hall

Boris Johnson is set to receive a £72,000 a year parachute payment for stepping down as London Mayor. The sum is given to every former boss of the capital who leaves City Hall, according to The Sun, and is used as a resettlement grant to ease the blow of the sudden loss of career. But Johnson earned £612,000 last year and is set for a similar sum again as MP for Uxbridge and South Ruislip as well as various publishing deals and...

Khan’s Coup: Night Tube is Go!

London's new mayor Sadiq Khan has announced a 24-hour tube service will begin on Central and Victoria lines from 19 August, with Piccadilly, Jubilee and Northern lines to follow in the autumn. The coup comes almost exactly a year to the date that Boris Johnson tried to launch the 'night tube' only to have his plans derailed by the unions which claimed he bypassed workers without consultation in order to rush through new all-night hours. It is the second major transport...

Review: Bad Neighbours 2

Review by Ben Holliday/@bholliday Bad Neighbours 2 follows a trend of sequels that weren’t asked for nor needed but thankfully, that is where the similarities with poor 2016 comedy sequels end. The Nicholas Stoller helmed sequel is full of laughs and most surprisingly of attempts to tackle societal issues. With life having surged on since the events of the first film, Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) and wife Kelly (Rose Byrne) are preparing to sell their house and move on to...
