By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Having opened way back in 1999, it would seem that, once upon a time, Quilon was actually quite brilliant. Again, they’ve managed to wow Michelin this year, for the seventh year running, so it’s a real shame that our recent visit didn’t quite manage to live up to high expectations.

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport We’re now only a few months away from the new NFL  season.  During the summer break most of the talk in the NFL has been around the backlash of 'Deflategate'.  As a reminder, this was where the New England Patriots were accused of tampering with the footballs in their AFC Championship game against the Indianapolis Colts.  The Patriots won the game 45-7, but after an investigation, the NFL came down on the...

@BenGelblum Walk along the Kent coast where Thames estuary turns into North Sea, wind farms and shipping rising out of the dark blue expanse: you come across the ghosts of Victorian holidays. Abandoned coastal cafes and crumbling concrete lidos built into the sea where once thousands flocked to bathe. And as you walk along the clifftops from Broadstairs, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Palm Bay, Walpole Bay to Margate, cheeky haven of half-remembered childhood holidays, you find a resort frozen in...

#14: Pacman, Betamax and Runner Beans Hello, dear reader. Forgive the brevity this week - I’m currently running round like a runner bean running round a roundabout. Hence that dreadful sentence that would never normally make the edit. Firstly, a huge thanks to the brilliant guys at GamerDisco and Replay Events for having me along to Play Margate last weekend. I had a lot of fun meeting everyone there, and it was a genuine honour to be with Jon Stoodley...
