By Jasmine Stephens, Family Editor Memories of childhood holidays are some of those that stay with you for life. When I was a kid, our summer days were spent eating chips in cones on the shingle beaches of Leysdown and during the evenings we would career around the caravan park clubhouse, chasing the lights of the disco ball until we were so tired we were lulled to sleep on the bench seats by the Birdie Song. In later years, my parents...

To start in the West, Houston Rockets turned around a 3-1 deficit against the LA Clippers to win the series 4-3 in dramatic style.  The Clippers are known as 'Lob City' for their...

By Emma Silverthorn @HouseOf_Gazelle Referred to only as The Girl: here is a heroine you can root for, a vigilante, feminist, vampire with excellent taste in music plus skateboarding ability, yes please! Not that this heroine is overtly kick-ass; she's a quiet, lonely soul but if anything this makes her even more appealing.

I mean, a simple Google would tell us, but let’s not get bogged down in the specifics. Anyway, Snoop Dogg was on a talk show in America recently and he mentioned that the weirdest place he’s ever been high is the White House. As in, the President’s actual abode. Here,...

Theatre can sometimes seem like a closed shop, one of stuffy, expensive theatres, or intimidating, pretentious improv nights in achingly cool bars. Then there’s Etch. The Peckham theatre project is about to turn just one year old, but with award nominations and international festivals already under its belt, the young venture is far from am-dram. Etch is the brainchild of Lucy Hollis and Ruth Milne, two Scottish actors, who set up the project as a sort of antidote to some of...

Sport News 24/7 By Joe Heywood  @Joe_Heywood  @TLE_Sport Olivier Giroud is a fantastic striker.  He’s one of the best finishers in the league, can strike a ball with thunderous venom and his link-up play can be staggering sublime at times.  But should the Frenchman lead Arsenal’s attack next season? Like a lot of Arsenal players in the last five years or so, Giroud divides opinion.  On one hand, there are games where he completely dominates – he scores emphatic goals...
