Kyloe, Edinburgh – Review

By Simon Bennison, Food Writer Kyloe is an early 19th century term for Highland Cattle, and the title of Edinburgh’s finest gourmet steak joint. It sits to the west end of Princes Street, overlooking Edinburgh Castle.

This was going to be a good day. A...

Yurt Lush, Bristol – Review

By Laura Elvin, Food Writer The clue is in the name.  This is Sunday dinner with a difference, and the difference is the fact that you are in a great big Mongolian yurt. Now I can’t really big up the setting because rather unusually the great big tent is sat in the middle of Bristol’s financial district, which on a Sunday is absolutely dead. BUT as soon as you're inside with a blooming lovely log fire in the middle, rustic...

Appropriate Behaviour – Film Review

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle I haven’t laughed so much at a movie since Withnail and I. Not that Appropriate Behaviour is exactly of Withnail’s ilk, it is as the elevator pitch goes: a mix between Frances Ha and Annie Hall. Yet the realistic hilarity and absurdity of the characters struggles are that of Withnail’s, (very high), standard. Like contemporaries Lena Dunham and Miranda July, Desiree Akhavan’s art is of the personal-to-the- point-of-over-sharing kind, and Dunham is unsurprisingly already a big...

Rodgers’ Revival – Liverpool on the up

Sport News 24/7 By David de Winter - Sports Editor @davidjdewinter  @TLE_Sport Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City on Sunday extended their unbeaten record in the Premier League to 11 games.  Yet just three months ago after a 3-1 defeat at Crystal Palace there were more than a few whispers that manager Brendan Rodgers could be heading for the sack.  So how has Rodgers turned a team of chronic underperformers into the league’s form side? First and foremost, the answer...

10 Signs we no Longer Care What People Think

Would you want to be treated for healthcare in the UK or US?

In a study comparing the healthcare systems in 11 of the world’s wealthiest countries, the United States was found to be bottom of the bunch. The report conducted by The Commonwealth Fund found the US was not only the most expensive but also the worst in terms of efficiency, performance and quality of care. On the other hand the United Kingdom came top of the table for these same qualities while it also outperformed all countries in its management of...

 By Nic Marks, Founder, Happiness Works Happy work? Isn’t that an oxymoron? Work is serious and hard, while happiness is light and fun. You have to go to work, but you want to be happy. But imagine what life would be like if what you want to do and what you had to do overlapped? Unfortunately, most people don’t enjoy their work. A recent Gallup survey reports that 87% of employees are not engaged with their jobs. This is bad...
