Chances are the event hasn’t gone by you unnoticed, with BRITs Week and the social vote building hype throughout February.

Review by Miranda Schiller @mirandadadada Quoting Homer and repairing garages while flashing his biceps, Noah seems like the perfect distraction for the super-glamourous high school teacher Claire (Jennifer Lopez).

Fear is not something I want to associate with a restaurant, but in this case it was (in a backstreet murderer way rather than the dream about waking up naked at school, but I’ll get back to that in a minute). The Boneville is barely advertised by its faded sign, sitting on Lower Clapton Road like it has been there for decades.
