For those who enjoyed the BBC series Peep Show there were one of two golden moments where the dialogue includes the neatest references to the parlance used by those coming of age in 80’s Britain. There’s a superb scene when Mark has got Spohie, his object of lust, so whipped up in the mood that she [...]

Panda’s are notoriously difficult to get to breed in captivity. The increasingly desperate attempts of Chinese zoo’s to get our bamboo loving comrades culminated in the Chinese authorities piping sexing education videos – but, apparently, with some success.
Well our monochrome buddies from east may be facing a whole new challenge as their much loved bamboo [...]

The only thing you’ll ask yourself is how much will ‘I like’ (to borrow a Boratism). One minute you’re enjoying the comforting feel of your cool new belt – next minute you’re down at Sam’s S&M store getting trussed up like a turkey.

I greatly admire the guys at remarkable.co.uk – they started off doing some earnest work with pencils and branched out neatly into complimentary office products.

Circuit board cuff links

Lets be frank about it cuff links are the cop-out gift for men when you can’t be arsed to engage your brain. There are some cool ones out there but there’s a shed load of rather naff ones too – some of which are made from recycled materials. It seems that when it comes to [...]

The US celebrity endorsed grocery concept store opened up last year in the old Barkers building. I visited for the first time last weekend and was a little surprised what the fuss was about.
