Most of the time when people make incredible or outrageous predictions about the future, when the time comes around, we all end up laughing at how ridiculous they were. Flying cars by 2005? And what about that millennium bug that everyone got so hepped up about? There are some predictions, however, that turned out to
Yes, the possible health implications for residents of the capital which is amongst the worst hit areas for pollution due to the Sahara dust, is of course a serious concern. But just as we would expect, there has been a thoroughly British reaction to it. Make it into a bit of a joke. We took
When the news that one of our all time favourite actor/screenwriter/directors had created a unisex fragrance, we were slightly confused – intrigued might be a better word, but still a little confused. Who knew that the legendary Richard E. Grant had such a nose for fragrance? It turns out that this isn’t just another celebrity
Getting back to the type of kick-ass role we love to see her in, the brand new trailer for Scarlett Johansson’s Lucy combines action, power and ability in an awesome new way. This sci-fi adventure sees Lucy (Johannson) get affected by a drug put inside her body against her will, that allows her to access
We get it, there are moments of a mans working day where the same repetitive thoughts slip through our minds. Monotonous, boring and mundane – and yet we still have them almost every day. Here are a few of such thoughts… HOW IS IT ONLY (Insert day of the week) ALREADY? YES! NOT LATE FOR
We are constantly bombarded with information about our health and fitness. Advice, advertisements, the new quick fix; the problem is there is so much information that it is hard to decode what we should believe and what we shouldn’t. What’s more, there are certain myths that despite the onslaught of new information, we still seem
On Monday night, the V&A played host to a spectacular private dinner in celebration of the opening of its latest major exhibition, The Glamour of Italian Fashion 1945-2014. Hosted by British Vogue editor, Alexandra Shulman and Franca Sozzani, editor of Italian Vogue – this was one of the most fashionable events of the season so far – and what
Since the introduction of Tinder there has been an influx of dating service apps on the social market. Many are just pale comparisons to the reigning app, but the new Revealr might have something else to add. The sex appeal and attraction of someone’s voice. Just like Tinder uses photos to allow people to judge
Amelia Mary Earhart was an American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. Her interest in aviation came in late 1920, when she visited an airfield with her father. She rode on a plane for the first time and it was this moment that sparked
As we all know, space to build in London is becoming more and more of a rarity. This is why this property named The Brick House is architecturally very special. A cunning combination of lateral loft-living and conventional rooms, the impressive home has managed to not only fit but thrive at the end of the
Ah office stereotypes, whatever your work situation, these people will always crop up. So, which of these these sound familiar to you? The “Ego Maniac” If you can’t think who in your office this relates to, well newsflash, it’s you. You’re the type of guy who likes to shout about his accomplishments of which, in
Let’s be honest, getting ready to take off is a bit of a bore. Squeezing past people to get to your small seat, the standard take off safety announcements etc etc. Passengers on a flight from Sydney to Brisbane, however, had a little extra entertainment courtesy of the Australian cast of The Lion King. Elated
If you fancy spending some time on a luxury super yacht this summer but don’t think you have the budget or the time to charter one for a fortnight in the Caribbean, then this might be your next best option. London’s first super yacht hotel has officially arrived – Sunborn London The 4-Star Deluxe yacht
Invention does not happen overnight, it requires a lot of time, attempts, innovation, failures and luck. Certain inventors become famous for their creations, going down in history as a name that everyone associates with their product. Unfortunately, most inventors aren’t remembered unless come across in an old history book. However, the most ill fated of
For a few years now, smoking has definitely lost its cool factor. No longer do we dream of looking like James Dean, plain white T-shirt, cigarette casually hanging out of the side of our mouth, (ok so maybe sometimes we still dream of looking that cool), but where once it was de rigueur for everyone around
The place was Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, the year was 1903 and the moment was one of the most significant in aviation. It was the moment that the first successful powered airplane took flight. The Wright brothers began their experimentation in flight in 1896 at their bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio. They selected the beach
It may only be Tuesday but it’s always cocktail hour somewhere in the world! So we’re passing on one of our favourite cocktail recipes for the spring. It’s refreshing but not too feminine and pretty easy to make at that… THE DILLIONAIRE INGREDIENTS 2 (1/2-inch thick) cucumber slices 2 sprigs dill 1/2 ounce Luxardo maraschino
We hate to talk about the weather…who are we kidding, we’re British and it is definitely up there with our favourite 5 topics, but when the sun comes out, well there is really very little else we can talk about. In fact, we have just spent the last 15 minutes talking about where we would
