COOL: Trullo, N1

April 2, 2012

7

You may have past Trullo, on Highbury Corner, several times. As you fly off the roundabout, it catches the eye just a little too late. EIC grew sick of this happening, especially as head chef Tim Siadatan was an early graduate of Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen. So finally, we stopped the car one sunny Sunday, got out and went […]

UNCOOL: homophobia

March 27, 2012

0

Journalist, activist, economist and gay man Patrick Strudwick has created this video as a lifeline to other gay individuals who are struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. Suicide should NEVER be the alternative to living your life as you are, and standing up to narrow minded individuals who fear the unknown. EIC fully […]

UNCOOL: The Voice

March 26, 2012

As if the fickle Take Me Out lights weren’t demeaning enough, now BBC’s The Voice aka. The Jessie J Show brings human suffering to a whole new level. It’s groundbreaking stuff, because the already ‘established’ people invited to audition are: bald blind fat orphaned smelly odd dead or really, really hot!!! How, er, inclusive. And […]

COOL: 10 reasons why we like HOMELAND (addictive US TV series no.9898975655

March 6, 2012

HOMELAND is like a deep saucepan of spag-bol left on the hob for eternity (well, 12 weeks). For the love of beef and tomato, you cannot stop going back for more. And every time – it just gets better! Here’s why the EIC team now have no life. Not that they did anyway. 1. Nakedness […]

UNCOOL: lamp-phones

March 4, 2012

EIC finds this rather unfortunate looking lamp-phone, well, revolting really. It hurts to look at. Sorry if you have one. But we thought no-one would. If you do, let us know! (and we’ll unsubscribe you).

COOL: Figures – Blood Brother (LOVE THIS!)

March 2, 2012

We LOVE these guys and we LURRRVE this tune so it’s moronically on repeat… until we get sick of it. Which won’t happen. London DJ collab FIGURES (James Delay & Jamie Blanco) have thankfully brought us a follow up tune to VELO in the form of this moody hypno-house track – Blood Brother. It’s wicked. […]

COOL: marriage proposals on a leap year!

February 28, 2012

0

It’s a Feb 29th – a leap year – tomorrow which means, that’s right ladies, it’s your turn to propose! EIC loves it when ladies go against the grain and, frankly, why the hell not? (*I thought about proposing on This Morning, but my boyfriend warned me that he’d turn me down, which is lucky […]

UNCOOL: holding the door open for someone for bloody ages

February 24, 2012

2

words: Mike Pollitt (originally posted here) If someone’s right behind or in front of you, or carrying loads of stuff, by all means hold open the door. But what I’m observing, on an almost daily basis, are examples of doors being held open for unencumbered people 5 yards and more away. This puts the recipient […]

COOL: Medlar, SW10 – the perfect date restaurant

February 23, 2012

1

Medlar’s website looks more ‘corporate caterer’ than incredible French restaurant in Chelsea. But I’m pleased to say, having finally sampled some of its deliciousness, it certainly proves to be the latter. If you just got paid and are looking for a new bed partner – reserve a table for two (or three?) now. Because this […]

no. 12938576 of ‘WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE WORLD It’s an unwritten rule in speeches. You neeeeeeeeeever, but NEEEEEEEEEVER, interrupt someone during a speech of thanks!! Especially not Adele, cos’ she’ll give you the finger. Gwan gel! And it wasn’t Blur’s fault. Why would you set up an award ceremony if people who win the awards […]
