By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor Like most mums I generally approach a family holiday with a mixture of excitement, endless checklists and yes, perhaps, sometimes a bit of apprehension as well. I was more than embarrassed, therefore, to be worried about traffic jams and forgetting the sun cream when I heard about the turmoil of sadness, fears and hopes that recently-widowed Nikki Scott faced when she decided to take her children on a holiday alone for the first time since...

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor Bohemian: Bohemianism is the practice of an unconventional lifestyle, often in the company of like-minded people, with few permanent ties, involving musical, artistic, or literary pursuits. A warm evening in the West End saw the familiar huddle of theatregoers congregate around the glistening Duke of York, chilled glasses of white wine hung from the newly restored balcony and a breeze of tobacco hung in the air outside the main entrance. The quintessentially British venue plays...

By Sean Simara  @Sean_FootyMad  @TLE_Sport The NFL Draft occurred a few weeks ago and as the dust settles, here’s a little glance at who went where and who is going to do well going professional. Jameis Winston was the number one pick which was expected in the NFL world.  The Tampa Bay Buccaneers didn't pass up on the chance to grab the much talked about QB.  Known as 'Famous Jameis' he’s fully set and ready for life in the NFL....

By Stephen Mayne There are few subjects the world of art likes more than itself. Film is no exception, the history of cinema littered with hymns to the noble endeavour and exposés of a tragic, fame obsessed industry. Steering clear of both extremes, Clouds of Sils Maria plays out as a thoughtful backstage melodrama that trumpets the craft while taking sly digs at the commercialisation of the form and the vanity of the players. It helps that Director Olivier Assayas...

By Jack Peat, TLE Editor   I am too old to be pulling all-nighters. On Thursday evening I returned home with a solid plan; exit polls at 10, bed, up at 6 for a clear indication of the results - and repercussions thereof - then at my desk for results in time for elevenses. GE2015 made a complete hash of that. Like many others, I became engrossed from 10 o clock onwards. Mainly in disbelief. I knew that a Labour...

By Nathan Lee, TLE Correspondent Queenstown Airport has been voted the best runway view in the world according to a new poll which includes three UK entrants. A study conducted by the private jet booking service PrivateFly asked  a panel of international travel experts and travel fans for their most scenic airport landings in its annual survey, with the most votes this year going to the New Zealand airport. Voters commented that "the thrill and beauty stuns you as you come in...

By Kane Power (ElHeavio) Hiatus Kaiyote floated into my scope after an impressive ‘live sound-check’ video was posted on a drum forum following the release of their debut album ‘Tawk Tomahawk’, in 2012. The song posted wasn’t actually on that album; it was a version of the song ‘Shaolin Monk Motherfunk’ which coincidentally is the first song proper on their new release, ‘Choose Your Weapon’. Having a three-year old song as the opener of your brand new record might be a...

By Jonathan Hatchman, Food Editor, @TLE_Food As part of a slightly bizarre marketing campaign to promote their brand new album – The Magic Whip – Blur have announced that they’ll be creating their own Ice Cream. Teaming up with The Lickators, a company that’s already worked on Music-related flavours that include Jiggy Pop and John Lemon, Blur’s very own Magic Whip is a “Dairy Vanilla Custard Ice Cream rippled with Raspberry Sauce” and will be available on the band’s upcoming...

Directed by Ben Palmer of The Inbetweeners, Man Up tells the story of a middle aged woman who, despairing of her own inability to climb out of middle aged singledom, is charmed by a chance encounter and decides to give the assent one more try.
