February 2, 2012 by

0

words: Benjamin Proctor Some of you may be nearing the end of your month long abstinence from alcohol …(how dull do you want to be?) …But for those still thinking of an exciting resolution, why not take the opportunity to explore booze you’ve not tried before. Sure, January’s a tough month on the wallet if […]

COOL: Le Gavroche (but was Michel-in?)

January 29, 2012 by

words: Benjamin Proctor We’re greeted at the door of 43, Upper Brook Street and led past the landed gentry of Mayfair to the dining room downstairs. Then we’re shown to our table, offered a glass of Champagne and left for a moment to take in the surroundings of Le Gavroche, the first restaurant in London […]

UNCOOL: the new (ish) sherbet dip packaging

Anyone else feel that this is totally unreasonable? For over 84 years, a sherbet dip was made extra delicious by the shrink wrap paper tubing that got wet and butterz the more times you dipped. This new re-sealable, plastic wrapper may be more practical but it sure takes all the charm out of the ritual and, well, to be honest we’re […]

COOL: best shoe site on the web swears by ‘no sh!t, just shoes’ policy

We’ve found a shoe website that makes all others look like temporary holding pages – and none of our relatives own it or nuffing. It’s called Scorpio Shoes and we just want to plug it cos’ it’s really very bloody COOL. The main reason it’s so COOL is because the site seems to have a […]

UNCOOL: Mishkin’s – ‘a kind of jewish deli’ (yeaah but only in name)

January 13, 2012 by

They own a handful of the hippest restaurants in London – Polpo, Polpetto, Spuntino and Da Polpo but have Russell Norman and Richard Beatty got it spot-on with their latest venture, Mishkin’s? Looking like a no. Maybe it’s because we love Carnegie‘s in new york more than we love our parents. Maybe it’s because some […]

words: @jamesrglynn For fanden skyld! My crisp Scandinavian jumper has a hole in it. A massive Forbrydelsen shaped hole in my Sarah Lund jumper. Yours too? Thought so. This is my round about way of saying ‘what am I gonna do now The Killing is over?!’  Well it’s fine!!! Because BBC4 has done it again – […]

This is quite literally  – UN-BE-LIE-VAB-LE. Worried as we are about this…cute(?) little girl from Alabama, we can’t stop watching her. Where did she learn to talk like those women on Bridezilla? http://youtu.be/ABzMAuI1vj0

Words: @jamesrgclarke *[Yeah, we know, it’s the late Robin Cook. But we literally cannot bear to look at ATW’s face at the moment] Date: 10th January 2012 Location: My bedroom Status: Utterly rushed off my feet I stop for a moment and turn on the radio by the side of my bed; that’s when I […]

Harlem born lyricist, rapper and general rhythm junkie, Azealia Banks is seconds from being signed. Reckon she deserves it? [we do]

COOL: Lucky Chip.The best street burgers in London, if not the world.

Various burger blogs sussed these guys out ages ago, but we just lost our Lucky Chip virginity. And now we’re pregnant. It’s street food, but you still get to sit down at a table with plates and stuff. We went to the burger van in Netil Market, E8. The cheapest burger is a Single With […]
