Christian Bale’s combover and Jeremy Renner’s pompadour caused quite a stir with audiences who saw the terrific American Hustle. It got me thinking about the most iconic barnets in the history of cinema – here are some of the best, worst and downright weird haircuts in film. Drexl Spivey from True Romance One of Gary
The civic funeral of Sir Tom Finney is taking place at Preston Minster today, after the former England and Preston North End winger sadly passed away on 14 February, at the grand age of 91.

A reboot of the classic Godzilla film franchise, 2014’s effort sees Bryan Cranston (yes, Walter White fighting a giant lizard monster) join forces with Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen under the direction of British filmmaker Gareth Edwards (Monsters). Death and destruction ensues, with many of New York’s famous landmarks crushed by the iconic monster. Come
The minefield of dress codes can be a tough one to walk, but here we lay down a few guidelines for what to wear to a dinner party… WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES: If you have a formal job, wear a formal outfit. There is nothing more disconcerting than a colleague in home clothing without prior warning.
THE CARD NINJA This incredible video from Pepsi Max sees Javier Jarquin establishing himself as the master of throwing playing cards. Sound easy? Watch this video and see him demonstrate his incredible skill as he throws playing cards through fire rings, car windows and post boxes from many metres away. His tricks are truly astounding.
The Tube is the oldest underground railway in the world. After 151 years of consistent operation, it’s hardly surprising that the system has developed an unwritten etiquette just as weird and complicated as the bloke in the baby-gro who hassles tourists outside Earl’s Court station every Friday. To many of us, basic common sense on
You all know we love Margot Robbie, so when we came across this interview from ASOS, we simply had to share it with you all. In 1.37 min they have managed to squeeze in many amazing moments. Margot Robbie doing an English accent. Wow. Margot Robbie proving she doesn’t take herself too seriously. Wow. Margot
Set deep in the heart of the New Forest National Park, a mere hour and half from London, lies a boutique country to rival even the most luxurious of city retreats. Lime Wood is the ultimate location for a secluded luxury getaway – the perfect escape from reality, even it is just for a weekend.
Michael O’Leary may well have reduced the cost of travel to the price of a packet of crisps, but who’s ever made a notable entrance by stepping off a Ryanair flight? And would Frank Sinatra be asking so many people to come fly with him if he was trapped in Terminal Five? The answer to
GoPro have done it again, capturing incredible moments like no other camera has done before. This video, shot on a GoPro HERO3, sees James and his father Douglas set out on hovercrafts to rescue deer stuck on the ice of Albert Lea Lake, Minnesota.

Every modern day gentlemen has no doubt dreamt (at least once or twice) of having the ultimate New York City bachelor pad. So, when a tower block that is yet to be completed, (let alone had officially come up on the market), sold more than a 3rd of its units, you know that this has
Yesterday, February 14th, saw the Hennessey Venom GT set a new world speed record for 2-seat sports cars by reaching at top speed of 270.49 mph (435.31 km/h). Powered by a 7.0-liter twin turbo engine, the car raced to victory over the previous record owner, the Bugatti Veyron which had reached 269 miles per hour. The lucky
It’s a truth fairly universally acknowledged that film adaptations of novels hardly ever live up to their source material: the recent Pride and Prejudice (2005), for instance, the 1956 Moby Dick or Steve Coogan’s A Cock and Bull Story (2005). That is not to say that all film adaptations of books are bad. On the
There have been many rumours swirling about the new Apple iPhone 6, no other brand has so much global anticipation and lead up to a new phone release and this latest model is no different. With such stiff competition from Samsung, it remains to be seen whether the iPhone 6 will be the best phone
When we stumbled across this latest offering from RM Auctions, we knew we had to share it with you. For decades, since the beginning of the Cobra’s status as a true “collectible,” CSX 2421 has been sought, but it has remained off the radar. Today however, this stunning car is up on offer as one
Pine wardrobes, solid oak wardrobes, vintage and antique wardrobes – there’s loads of choices when it comes to spaces for men to store their clothes in.

Travel around the world and back again without having to leave the comfort of your crushed velvet armchair in the heart of Mayfair with this genuinely exciting and luxuriously quirky bar, Mr Fogg’s. Not only inspired, but a recreation of the home Jules Verne’s most famous adventurer Phileas Fogg would have lived in after returning
These headphones have gone straight to the top of our want list this week. The slightly vintage look is a welcome change from the often highly stylised, modern alternatives that we see so much of today. The quality, however, is anything but vintage. The Audio-Technica M50X headphones feature 45-mm drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-covered aluminium
