UNCOOL: The Burger King at Hilton Park Services (M6)
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, […]

COOL: knitting
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 […]

L’COOL’LIKES: Bieber & Hilary Swank
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 […]

UNCOOL: Rihanna’s critics
Originally posted on MTV Voices here In this nonsensical world where some unfortunate people will never grasp how to operate self service tills, you want to take away the beauty and jade the meaning of a Rihanna vid?

COOL: Wise Words From The Wine Man #2
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 […]

L’COOL’ikes: Jason Donovan & Graham Norton
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. In this pic Jason looks a bit like his old Neighbours character, Scott Robinson. Mmmmm Scott Robinson. Actually, while we’re here we’d like to congratulate JD, 43, re. […]

COOL: Quadron (don’t miss this)
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
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 […]

UNCOOL: The road I live on
I live in a mews with an electronic gate. The gate is operated by a buzzer, given to all residents who live within its confines. If you lose it, you have to pay the silly price of £50 for a new one. That’s pretty expensive to me. A few months ago, I needed to drive […]
