Can you spot the one-armed bandit in this barmy bank heist?

We nortmally associate the sight of a one-armed bandit with a chance to pocket some extra dosh. Not so in this baffling puzzle, as a one-limb crim looks to make off with his swag bag.

This is the age we are at our most adventurous

Thirty is the age we are at our most adventurous, according to a study. Researchers who polled 2,000 UK adults pinpointed the point when we're desperate to let our hair down and experience high-octane sports and new cultures. Upon reaching their third decade, those polled admitted they’re 'champing at the bit' to get away from the daily grind, having established themselves in their careers and social circles. The findings emerged after 59 per cent of the population said they tend...

Vegas: the perfect four night getaway

It’s said to be a place where you can do whatever you want, no matter what time of day it is. A city of dreams sandwiched amongst the scorching, endless Nevada desert.

Especially on a 4am start, where you cradle the duvet cover, hoping for another five minutes....

A completely subjective experience, everybody likes their steak to be cooked differently – even interpretations of ‘blue’, ‘rare’, ‘medium-rare’, ‘medium’ and ‘well-done’ can differ between restaurants. At home, though, you’re in complete control of the cooking – which isn’t too difficult, following...

Restaurant Review: Leicester Square Kitchen

Until recently, Leicester Square’s only redeeming assets were the Heliot at The Hippodrome Casino’s reasonably-priced steaks, or Burger King’s magical soft drinks dispenser – spilling various drinks we know and love but in outlandish, unfamiliar flavours. The rest of the square remained a toxic wasteland of woefully bad restaurants, the dreaded M&M shop and what’s perhaps London’s most overpriced cinema. On the edge of the Radisson Blu Edwardian Hampshire Hotel, Leicester Square Kitchen is the third restaurant from the group...
