Today is Winston Churchill Day and to celebrate Johnnie Walker has created a special edition Red Label bottle and a commemorative Johnnie Walker whisky cocktail.

Many men will agree that there is nothing more fulfilling in life than being able to provide for your children, but when we stumbled across this extravagant accessory we couldn’t help but wonder if things had gone a step or two too far.

Social media has been around for a while now and, while for many reasons we think it is one of the best things to happen to the 21st century, we can’t help but feel like some people are ruining the fun for everyone. Enter the most annoying people on social media and the trends that they refuse to give up on. We’re betting you can all name a friend guilty of one of these….

No you have not read that incorrectly and no this is not an advert for the new James Bond film, this technology is real, pioneering and totally revolutionary. Land Rover announced this morning that they are developing trailblazing technology which they have called “Transparent Bonnet”. A virtual imaging concept, it will allow drivers a digital view of the terrain ahead making the front of the car ‘virtually invisible’. This state of the art technological development means that drivers are enabled a visual capacity unlike any car before it, being able to see exactly what is underneath and directly in front of the vehicle there in by avoiding hidden obstacles.

Otto Lilienthal was a German pioneer of aviation who became known as the Glider King. He was the first person to make well-documented, repeated, successful gliding flights.

After two years of trial and error using copious amounts of rubber bands and cable ties, German photographer and Photo Journalist Jonas Ginter has come up with a way to create a video that is truly out of this world. Finding inspiration from the 360 degree photo apps, Ginter used six GoPro cameras on a plastic mount to create a spherical panorama view of the world around him. Incredible! Check out the video here.

What Does Your Pet Say About You? Much like all our choices in life, the kind of pet we choose to buy, take into our home and live with says a lot about us as people. Similarly to how we take our coffee, what kind of gadget we buy into or the colour of our car – all these life choices say something to the outside world about us.

It’s fair to say that air travel today has some serious perks – the joy of an unexpected up-grade will never get old, indulging in a more than ‘just edible’ meal and a soothing gin and tonic are all part of the expected experience.

So Twitter is doing a massive redesign and, though there are many similarities to previous versions of Facebook including the profile picture on the left hand side, the cover photo and photos/friends down the side, there are some exciting features to the new look.

Established in 1979 by Jeff Hunton, an offshore powerboat racer, Hunton are one of the top bespoke British manufacturers of high-performance, luxury powerboats.

There are certain things that happen within our British culture that only we understand. So when we smile slyly, scoff loudly or give a look of daggers in your direction, don’t attempt to understand it. It’s a code that has been in existence for years and will be for many more to come. Here are 20 things that only British people will understand.

We all know Tod’s for their world famous Italian shoes, particularly their boat and car shoes which every discerning gentleman either owns, or wants to own. Now the luxury label have teamed up with the award winning Japanese design studio Nendo – led by celebrated designer and architect Oki Sato – to create these brand new Envelope Boat Shoes.

Looking to move job, or maybe interviewing for one soon? Well take a look at some of these bizarre, but genuinely real interview questions that people have been asked in job interviews…

Covering Clerkenwell and Farringdon, EC1 is home to some ever increasing trendy hot spots, with Michelin starred restaurants, an abundance of cool bars and fashionable evening spots. But now, EC1 is set to get even cooler with the introduction of the much anticipated Canaletto high rise.

Exciting news yesterday out of the Mercedes camp as their new SL400 is unveiled. The impressive development sees the SL350 upgraded with a new 3.0 litre V6 engine producing a roaring 333bhp and 354lb ft of torque (27bhp and 81lb ft more than the SL350). This means 0-62mph in 5.2 seconds with a top speed of 155mph.

Is This The Most Stylish Exercise Bike Ever?

You know that here at The Gentleman’s Journal, we always notice the finer details in life and this is especially true when it comes to style and innovation. Now, even if it was not in our lifetimes, we all remember the first moon landing, don’t we? Apollo 11 was the first spacecraft to land humans on the moon and did just that on July 20th 1969 to two American astronauts and engineers Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin. The space mission, which was broadcast live to the world, was NASA’s fifth manned mission of the Apollo Programme.
