December 5, 2011 by

0

We prayed for their existence and finally they’re here – onesies, made by Scandinavian brand Onepiece. Tag-line: ‘jump in’. But… we’re not sure. Maybe it’s the models. Yeah it could be the models.

words: Ned Biggs I don’t lose my temper easily. In fact, once, an old teacher told me: “if you were any more laid-back you’d be lying down.” I’ve tried to maintain this calm and relaxed persona throughout my life, but last Friday something happened that pushed me over the edge, and to put it bluntly, […]

It’s winter. You might have noticed. Life’s dark again, all the light-hearted summer TV shows have finished and Masterchef The Professionals has suddenly become your one reason to live. But warm, hearty and massively fattening french cuisine isn’t the only thing that’ll keep you warm this winter. You know where this is going… Knitwear. You […]

Justine and Hilary posing as men Swollen lips, baby-soft skin, chiseled jaws and a beauty that transcends gender… It’s been bugging us so it must have been bugging you, but we’ve finally cracked it! Brandon, aka. Hilary Swank, in the 1999 transgender film, Boys Don’t Cry, and Justin(e) Bieber are freakily similar. Apparently, we’re not […]

Don’t worry, I missed London Cocktail Week too. Some prior drinks engagement … Anyway, I was more upset to discover the ghastly news that The Empress of India, where I debuted my first English Martini  – has changed hands! I’d been enticed there on several occasions and enjoyed her company immeasurably. But now her richly […]

What’s happening here? Graham Norton and Jason Donovan are turning into each other and nobody has the guts to speak out about it apart from us. Hmm.

If you missed them earlier in the year, Santa’s just made your Christmas. And if you don’t know who they are? Ooof.  Have a ickle listen to one of their tunes, Pressure, and decide how much longer you wanna be in the dark.  

COOL: The Corner Room

October 20, 2011 by

The Corner room serves Portuguese fusion, and has so far been described as less pretentious and innovative than its big brother, Viajante. And with mains costing £12 tops, that seems valid justification. So the burning question is, does Nuno Mendes cut corners? What’s it like? A good-looking dining room, red in the face with guilt […]
