By Kane Power (@ElHeavio) 1/6/2015, Power Lunches, London Downstairs at Power Lunches in Dalston, someone has distilled the aroma of a sweaty band practice and infused it into five of those fancy air fresheners that you plug into the wall. All the plugs are turned on and the guy in front of you in the mosh-pit has wrapped his wet shirt around your face and has you in a headlock, forcibly violating your nostrils with his armpit. Set the scene?...
By Harry Bedford Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world with almost 27 million travellers visiting in 2013 alone. With its stunning beaches, delicious food and compelling history and culture, it is easy to see why it has become such a popular holiday spot. While the south of Thailand, particularly the islands, are so beautiful and inviting, the north is often forgotten. But take a trip up to the quaint old cities and mountain towns...
Misogyny; not just the title of the prettiest lady in Ogyny, but the most used word in gaming this week thanks to the bastion of equal rights that is football. Specifically (and quite rightly), EA are going to include the top women's national teams in the next FIFA game (not for the first time though, you've been able to play as a woman in the career mode of their NHL franchise since 2012) which neatly cued up two competitions. One contest,...
By Joe Mellor, Deputy Editor It’s almost the same amount of time between the start of Sepp Blatter’s presidency of FIFA and the last majority Tory Government. Then the football dictator stepped down the day before the first pure-blooded Conservative PMQs, some coincidence surely? “Wow, they made Michael Gove Justice Secretary? I can’t compete with that level of malevolence,” he was heard to say, as he handed himself into the Feds. When they were last in power people sent text...
By Rosie Wilson The worst kept secret in Hollywood is out – Kylie Jenner’s larger than life pout is not just down to genetics, lipstick and a clever Instagram filter. The youngest of the Kardashian Klan recently admitted to having temporary lip fillers – something she’d previously vehemently denied. The revelation couldn’t have come at a better time – with Kardashian fans worldwide driving themselves to distraction trying to emulate Jenner’s pout, there have been some drastic, and at times...
By Kane Power (@El Heavio) 30.5.2015, Student Union, University of London Header image credit: Joe Watson Photography I’ve seen Converge only once before, at Hevy Festival in 2012, and that was a messy, drunken affair at best. My memory of that night was a very serious, very loud, aggressive presence; silhouettes on an iridescent stage. Which makes it sound quite cool really, and it was, but my clouded memory of that night made me approach last night’s gig at the...
Lindsey Price, 41, is a Business Development Manager from Wilmslow, Manchester. She lives with her husband of five years, Billy, and their three-year-old son, Xavier. She decided to undergo non-surgical labia remodelling after the traumatic birth of her child stripped her confidence and left her love life barely existent. “I’d had a fairly uneventful pregnancy with Xavier, with the labour itself even being pretty low-key. It wasn’t until the birth itself that the problems started,” says Lindsay. “My son’s head...
Photo credit: Ben Fisher/ Photoshelter By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food We’ve already discussed Champagne Lanson’s plans to take over the Summer’s social calendar, and with The Championships, Wimbledon now well on its way, ahead of the tournament which commences on Monday June 29th, the brand has teamed up with the All England Lawn Tennis Club to create a special limited edition ‘Wimbledon’ bottle for the delicious Champagne Lanson White Label. The new “Wimbledon” bottle is inspired by the game...
By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food Their delicious Burgers and colossal portion sizes have most probably taken over your Instagram feed over the past three years, so if you still haven't visited MEATliquor, you're most certainly missing out. Situated just behind London's busy Oxford Street, it's no surprise that the London branch of the Restaurant has become hugely popular in recent years. So busy, in fact, that you're likely to have to queue around the block for 90 minutes, just to...
