Summer must have: Probably the best sleeping bag ever?

Sleeping bags for children, surely just another gimmick to get more cash out of parents? How wrong I was.  I think this could be the most amazing sleeping bag ever made...  and I want one. My son was lucky enough to test out the Vango Starwalker Junior Dragon sleeping bag for a fun filled ‘night at the museum’ sleepover. It was a very fitting environment to test a dinosaur-esque sleeping bag. When it arrived I was struck by how small and...

Is The Guardian The Biggest Hypocrite Of All?

The Guardian, along with its international media partners, can certainly be smug about the orchestration of this week's revelations. The Panama Papers look set to be one of the biggest scoops of the century and have already claimed the scalp of one World leader and implicated several others. But the paper is arguably as culpable as its victims in the shameful world of tax dodging. Political blogger Paul Staines has pointed to an inquiry by Guido Fawkes into the tax...

A look at Glasgow Restaurant Festival

by Rosie Benson, travel writer Thought Scottish cuisine stopped at haggis and deep-fried Mars bars? Think again. In recent years Scotland has been transforming its culinary culture, with Glasgow, its largest city, leading the way. This year sees the launch of Glasgow’s first restaurant festival; a month long celebration of local produce and businesses, giving restaurateurs the chance to showcase their most mouth-watering creations. At TLE, our epicuriosity knows no bounds, so we went to see what was on offer. If it’s fresh ingredients with a local feel that you’re after, drop in to The Ubiquitous Chip or ‘The Chip’ as everyone refers to it. Here we sampled the brasserie evening menu, with starters costing between £5-£7 and...

DVD Review: Hitchcock/Truffaut

Written by Leslie Byron Pitt/@Afrofilmviewer Kent Jones’s pithy and informative documentary; Hitchcock/Truffaut is released via home format, soon after film critics and viewers alike, have been in remembrance of Roger Ebert’s passing three short years ago. Hitchcock/Truffaut is also finding its way to homes not soon since the dying down of the critical mauling, fan defending theatrical release of Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Restaurant Review – Bó Drake

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food It’s no secret that we Brits are extremely proud of our tried and tested queuing system. While there’s no set rule or law that requires us to spend life forming an orderly queue, we’re somehow born with an innate desire to follow societal norms, with queuing being amongst the most popular, taking place multiple times on a daily basis. In many ways, the notion of queuing is magnificent: supermarket trips, for instance, are already...

Video: Teaser Trailer For David Brent: Life On The Road

The first teaser trailer for David Brent: Life On The Road has been released. Thirteen years on since The Office first hit UK screens, the trailer for the film has been released, with Brent now working as a sales rep while attempting to forge a career as a singer-songwriter.

With an ill-fitting suit and creepy goatee, he gives a...
