Cellino is an imperfect owner in an imperfect world

Sport News 24/7 By Rob McHugh  @mchughr  @TLE_Sport It is well known that the Football League's fit and proper person's test is unfit for purpose.  As many Leeds fans have pointed out following Massimo Cellino's disqualification by the Football League; Birmingham City are owned by a man who is in prison, the Oyston family's past is more chequered than a chess board and Peter Ridsdale has continually found employment in football despite taking Leeds, Barnsley and Plymouth to the brink...

Sport News 24/7 By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport Brian Hoyer has been given what could be his last chance as starting QB this Sunday as he tries to guide the Cleveland Browns to the play-offs.  His opposite number in Sunday's game will Andrew Luck for the Indianapolis Colts.  The Browns who are currently 7-5 knows a loss could end their push for a play-off spot this year.  The repercussions for  Hoyer could be more damaging.  The Johnny Manziel (Browns' youthful QB prodigy)...

Men, Women and Children – Film Review

By Anna Power  TLE Film Editor @TLE_Film  After last year’s “Let’s put a roof on this house” Labor Day debacle, Jason Reitman’s back with Men, Women and Children, following in the footsteps of Spike Jonze’ fascinating futuristic film Her, Reitman seeks to explore our very ‘new’ relationship with technology and its impact on how we relate both to ourselves and each other in its wake. It’s a brave new world, with big brother watching us and us watching each other....

Lough Cluhir Cottage, West Cork – Review

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor I have to be honest, it didn’t start well, but that was my own fault. I booked a cottage near Cork and told Mrs TLE and two other couple’s to book flights to Cork. Job done, now back to work (AKA the pub). Two days before the trip, I contacted the landlord Mark and told him we would be getting a taxi from the airport. We were getting in late Friday night and there was...

School of Babel – Review

By Sam Inglis @24FPSUK  24fps.org.uk School of Babel is inescapably political. It doesn’t feel like it is hectoring you with its viewpoint, but it is impossible to watch it without viewing it through the prism of the controversial discussion around immigration, multiculturalism and integration and you won't be in doubt what the film's view is by the end. The film takes place almost entirely in the reception class of a French junior high school, with pupils aged between 11 and...

Parenting is top source of stress in USA

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle I guess this is no news to parents, who I watch battling with their two precious (precocious) little kids as I sip fine wine with my friends, but children can be a massive hassle.

According to a survey of 2,000 people across the country, Americans say parenting is a top...

Yule never find my presents

By Charlotte Hope, Lifestyle Editor @TLE_Lifestyle I tend to buy people alcohol for xmas, so I tend to "hide" the presents down my throat from the 1st of December onwards, then wrap up one of my rubbish presents from last year, and give it as a replacement for the lost bottle of cherry, champagne, Baileys... However, cunning Brits are resorting to hiding Christmas presents for their loved ones in a host of imaginative places - with the greenhouse, oven and washing machine...

Parliamentary Sketch 3rd December – Cameron whips Balls into a frenzy

By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor Today’s PMQs was followed by the final autumn statement of this parliament. Luckily pretty much all of it had already been leaked out, so you didn’t really need to pay attention. Interestingly during PMQs Ed was on fire, it was one of his strongest performances I have seen. Sadly even when it goes right for Miliband, it goes wrong, as none of it will make the news headlines later. He is the type of person...
