Words by Marissa Cox. There are two things that will get us out of bed in the morning: food and charity. Ok there are a few more, but we won’t go into them right now. So when we received an invite from Links of London to attend their breakfast in aid of FEED at Harrods... Read more
Giles Deacon, fashion designer extraordinaire, dresser of celebrities and… environmental campaigner? We were a little surprised too, but he has “taken time out from his demanding schedule” to support urban tree planting charity Trees for Cities as their 2011 Tree-Athlon approaches… The garment in question is an exclusive, limited edition Giles T-shirt, which will be...

You know that we love TOMS, so we’re not going to bother outlining exactly what makes them such a good idea again (hint – it involves the canny combination of an ethical standpoint, and shoes that essentially give the wearer carte blanche to wear slippers in a public place), and we also don’t need to...

Or you could, you know, ignore this suggestion and just carry on regardless, with nary a... Read more
THERE SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN A TRE- What? Oh, a silent auction. Sorry, we’ll switch to a conspiratorial whisper, then. There seems to have been a trend recently for the merging of art and charity, usually in the form of an auction of some kind – you might remember that we’ve covered a few on... Read more
The World Wrestling Federation and the new WWF file format have two things in common. The first is their acronym, and the second is – well, uh, actually, they have one thing in common, alright? One thing. Unless, of course, Hulk Hogan has ever bodyslammed an office lackey to prevent them from printing out unnecessary... Read more
We’d like to show you, if we may, a visualisation of the Northern European airspace returning to use after being closed due to volcanic ash: Due to varying ash density across Europe, the first flights can be seen in some areas on the 18th April 2010, and by the 20th of April, everywhere’s open again,...
