The Ashes: Beating Australia a formidable task for England

Sport News 24/7 By Richard de Winter  @TLE_Sport  @rgdewinter I have many pet theories about sport, all of which are revolutionary, incredibly well-reasoned and, of course, absolutely correct.  One of them is on the relative importance of sporting events, which could be summarised as i=lu, where i=interest, l=length of time between occurrences and u=the unusualness of the event.  Therefore in my opinion the most interesting sporting events are a Lions tour, the Olympic Games and the Ryder Cup.  Incidentally if...

Northern Powerhouse Becomes a Reality

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  Second quarter figures released today have revealed notions of a 'Northern Powerhouse' could soon become reality with job growth rates in many of the UK’s northern cities soaring ahead of the south. Whilst London still held a 17.02 per cent share of the nation's 391,811 jobs last quarter, active job growth across the UK's top cities paints a very different picture. Despite Edinburgh only attributing a 0.62 per cent share of the UK's jobs, it ranks...

Review: F.O.E.S – Antecendence

By William Bateman (WillBateman6611) There's only been a moment's pause for breath since 2014's Ophir but F.O.E.S are back, creating a consistently brooding, intense and chaotic experience in their 5-track return Antecendence. While not necessarily re-inventing the wheel, F.O.E.S know their genre and play to their strengths in the form of the EP's heavy, stop-start drums and distorted post-punk guitar. Their is method in the madness; controlled chaos behind the melodic vocals. Opening track 'Rival Thrones' is the epitome of their sound, a statement of intent. James Lorenzo's...

Younger Generation ‘Switch and Swipe’ their way through Life

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent Young people have twice as many sexual partners, change jobs more often and move house with far more frequency than their parents did, according to a new study. Research commissioned by Samsung Galaxy S6 edge to mark the launch of the S6 switch kit, compared and contrasted behavioural differences between under-25s and over-50s. The survey of 2,000 respondents reveals a younger generation who are unafraid of change and who fully expect to 'switch and swipe'...

All American High Revisited : Film Review

By Toby Venables @TobyVenables “I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet,” says Back to the Future’s metal-playing Marty McFly to his bemused 1955 audience. “But your kids are gonna love it.” First released as All American High in 1987 to critical acclaim – but with very limited distribution – Keva Rosenfeld’s fly-on-the wall documentary of life at a California high school also seems to have found its time. Now remastered, it incorporates and updates the original, featuring a...

Five Months Spent Choosing What to Wear

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent  New research has revealed the average woman spends almost five months of her working life choosing what to wear. The study found deciding what to wear for work, at weekends and for nights out mean women will spend more than an hour of each week simply considering their outfits. Over the average year, this amounts to the equivalent of almost three days – and almost 20 weeks between the ages of 18 and 65. It also emerged 45 per cent...

Restaurant Review – Oink – Swine Dining

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food As soon as the news spread of a new pop-up restaurant that serves only Pork, I knew that I was in love. Situated directly opposite a Subway ‘restaurant’ that substitutes the Bacon in it’s B.L.T for revolting strips of Turkey, it’s a brave move to open a restaurant of this type. Upon entering the weekend revamp of The Café From Crisis on Commercial Street, just metres from Spitalfields Market, the interior is everything that...

Why Montsec is Europe’s star-gazing capital

It was on a starry night, when the hills were bright, that astronomists realised they needed to move away from those darn light-polluted hills. And with a steady interest in star-gazing, the Spanish mecca of Montsec has seen a steady rise in tourists visiting for its glimpse of our galaxy. Set in the foothills of the Pyrenees mountain, the Montsec Astronomy Park has become recognised as a world-class spot for star-gazing since it opened its doors to the public in 2009. The conditions...
