Michael Schumacher is one of the all time greats of Formula 1. He is a seven time World Champion with an illustrious career than spans two decades. As everyone continues to wish him well in his recovery, we look back at some of his best, most controversial and most memorable moments of his record-breaking career.
Yes, there have been innumerable lists of the best villains, heroes and so forth – but my list differs from most and identifies many villains that most haven’t thought of. For instance why is it that Hannibal Lector gives everyone the willies in The Silence of the Lambs when Buffalo Bill goes around skinning people
No one likes to wake up for work in the morning, seriously, even people who say they’re morning people can’t really love to wake up. That piercing alarm sound pouring into your dreams, ruining the much needed sleep of men the world over. But what if there was something that could make waking up all
It’s finally here, The Cheltenham Festival begins tomorrow and we couldn’t be more excited. The Cheltenham festival is the embodiment of everything that is great about racing – the thrills, spills, fashion and fun. Despite the ridiculous levels of rain we have had recently, the ground is apparently still drying out, no doubt all involved are grateful for the burst of
We, like everyone else, have been watching the updates for Game of Thrones like hawks. We simply cannot wait for Season 4! Luckily we don’t have long to wait as the series will premiere on Sky Atlantic on April 7th. Until then, watch the brand new trailer…
What’s the problem? Too much to say. Ukraine’s fragile economy was all but destroyed by the 2008 financial crash, and by last year, it badly needed a bailout. The question was, would it turn to Russia or to the EU? President Viktor Yanukovych didn’t make himself popular when he rejected a European trade agreement in
The weather isn’t the only thing heating up this month, with the change in season comes a change in trends, and one SS14 trend that was impossible to miss at the collections was the sunset-coloured hues that paraded down the runways. THE TREND From burnt orange to plum and bright yellow, it looks like it’s
Yes, this might look like a teaser trailer or something of that nature but it is actually something quite different. This motion picture poster shows Noah (played by Russell Crowe) and the animals of his ark in short frames till it pans out to reveal the movie poster. Whether it will catch on or not,
Our loyal watch writer, critic and aficionado, The Watchman London, imparts his views on the latest trend of smart watches… We’re all impressed that with one swipe of a finger across your iPhone you’ve managed to play four different types of music across your home, light the fire in the drawing room, let the dog outside
This week the world has watched as the trial of Oscar Pistorius, the double amputee Paralympic champion who has been charged with the premeditated murder of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, began in Pretoria, South Africa. It all started last Valentine’s Day, 14th February 2013, when Pistorius fatally shot model Steenkamp in his house in Pretoria.
The Senturion bracelet symbolises the next generation in style, security and specification. With 2 years of production from the African wilderness to the laboratories of Salisbury Plain behind it – you know it’s going to be impressive! All this research and development has lead to the creation of a bracelet that reflects true exception and conveys
Want to live like a star of the silver screen? See yourself walking barefoot across white sands and emulating one of the greatest actors of all time? Well Gentlemen, we might just have found you your perfect holiday. The Brando, is a stunning new private island resort soon to be opening later this year –
When they say there will soon be an app for everything, they weren’t kidding. Reading could have been changed forever. A new app from Boston based software developed Spritz have come up with a way for us to read words faster. Though this sort of rapid serial visual presentation isn’t a new concept, it is
Forget going out, it’s all about staying in these days and we have the ideal accompaniments to your perfect night in… WHISKY BAR First up, this beautifully crafted whisky or cocktails bar in black walnut would look wonderful in any bachelor pad. The quilted back panel adds the perfect touch of vintage luxury and comes
With the run of beautiful sunshine this week still going strong, the TGJ team are dreaming of lazy days spent outside, sunglasses on, drinks in hand, surrounded by close friends and – of course – the perfect soundtrack to accompany the moment. The problem though is that often we don’t know exactly what it is
England is a strange place (no, once and for all, it’s not a country) – how could anywhere that does morris dancing not be? But by far the oddest thing about it is its people – now they really are weird. After two millennia of invasion and immigration, the English are a pretty diverse bunch,
The world’s fastest car – now that’s the kind of headline we like to see, here at The Gentleman’s Journal. The car, which is being described as the ‘world’s first megacar’, clocks a pretty heart-racing 274mph with a 5 litre V8 engine and a staggering 1,322 horse power. The Swedish manufacturer have created the most
