Weekend Shopping: Stuff to Keep You Warm at Work

Why can offices never get their heating systems right? Has anyone ever worked anywhere where it wasn't permanently freezing or practically tropical? I once worked in an office so cold I had to wear fingerless gloves all day just to maintain enough circulation to type. Continue reading...

Can Sky Do the Tour/Giro Double Next Season?

While Bradley Wiggins sits at home convalescing after his recent road accident, and no doubt putting in the hours on the turbo trainer despite his broken rib and dislocated finger, the management at Team Sky are already turning their attention away from their recent staff clear-out and towards the 2013 season.

A Glutton's Truffle Hunt in Tuscany

Pecorino cheese drizzled with truffle-infused honey and a glass of pinot grigio; a standard start to a day at Giulio Benuzzi's house on the Tuscan hillside. It is a Sunday morning, 11.00am by the chime of the church bells next door, and Giulio's guests are beginning their day with the truffle hunter. Continue reading...

Fish Oil - Probably the Best Nutritional Supplement in the World

The Public School Boy Who Ended Up Being a Wanted Alleged Terrorist

The last time I briefly spoke to my former schoolmate Talha was just after we completed our A-Level exams in the summer of 1998 at the prestigious private school Dulwich College in southeast London. After spending nearly six years in a British jail awaiting extradition to America on terrorist charges, Syed Talha Ahsan has now faced extradition to America after losing his appeal at the European Court of Human Rights, alongside four other terrorist suspects including the radical preacher Abu Hamza.

He Asked Me If I'd Read 'Lolita'...And Then He Kissed Me

When I was 15 years old, I was groomed, and eventually sexually abused by one of my secondary school teachers, over a three month period.

Why Are False Allegations So Popular on the Internet?

Malicious gossip, if unchecked, could end up influencing who governs us. If it wasn't for the spread of such sham information on the internet, thousands wouldn't gossip and believe Barack Obama is an Islamist extremist, not born in the United States. Continue reading...
