COOL: Walter Junior’s breakfast obsession

November 14, 2012 by

0

If you watch Breaking Bad instead of going to church, mosque or synagogue like us then by now you’ll have noticed that, for a big time drug dealer’s son, Walt Jnr’s days are astonishingly dull, his whole life centred around eating breakfast, talking about breakfast or making breakfast. While we appreciate it’s an important meal […]

COOL: Feeling the fear of losing your iphone5, and doing it anyway

November 13, 2012 by

(This post is not wholly suitable for iphone5 users) It is day 9 of operation no iphone5. Had you asked me 10 days ago to predict my mental state if I lost my 4 week old iphone5,  I’d have opened my mouth and eyes realllllly wide, shaken my head from side to side, looked up at […]

Watch this clip of an emotional Barack Obama giving an uplifting speech the morning after his presidential victory. We defy anyone who doesn’t feel like giving him – and he’s been through a lot this past couple of years – a huge parent hug.

UNCOOL: House Of Wolf

November 6, 2012 by

Bread rolls dangle from the ceiling by string like chubby prisoners. Earplugs and a blindfold sit cross legged on tables wait for something to happen and in the spot where an innocent old fork might once have been is a syringe filled with a yellowing fluid. Such quirky delights can be found at House Of […]

COOL: Dabbous, W1

After a month hiatus from this godforesaken judging pit, the moths at EIC have come swanning through the front door like they’ve got something to say. And mark my word, there’s loads to say. And mark my word again – none of what they have to say has anything to do with the Olympics(!) apart […]

Sometimes, you just want to print a logo or a photo onto a t shirt/hoodie and it needs to be done ASAP. Recently, I undertook some research into this when I took a show up to The Edinburgh Fringe. At the very last minute I needed some hooded jumpers with my production logo printed on […]

COOL: Andy Murray cried – so now we like him

Yesterday, as Roger Federer and his fit legs landed a 7th Wimbledon victory , I picked up the remote with a mind to switch over. The ceremonial cup and tray giving by the Duke of Kent gets slower and slower each year. But I wanted to see what Andy Murray had to say, even though […]

words: claire gamble Claire won our poorly executed twitter competition recently, and in return we gave her a meal for two at Italian food bar Assaggetti. Here’s what she made of it all … Assaggetti is located off London’s theatre-land district, which me made me a little skeptical  at first.  But the airy Italian bar […]

UNCOOL: The X Factor 2012 auditions took the wind out my sails

words: sarah powell Someone described me as “very keen” on Sunday as I waited in a very long queue, in 28 degrees, by the smelly Thames, round the back of the O2 to be an audience member at  The X Factor auditions in London. Despite the long wait, nothing was going to ruin my spirit. […]

UNCOOL – replacing ‘have’ with ‘of’

When Chelsea beat Barcelona to go through to the final of the Champions League, a friend of mine posted a status on Facebook about how he was delighted that John Terry would be suspended for the showpiece in Munich. A friend of his (a Manchester United fan) commented on it and the thread developed into the […]
