In times of great worry or despair, many turn to food and alcohol for comfort. Others, mainly female, but a good few males too, turn to their credit cards to cheer them up. Cosmetics, clothes, gadgets; the list of items purchased on shopping sprees is endless. If a person really wanted to go crazy, they could spend well up to and above €200 in just one shop. Good for the economy. Bad for your finances.

I’ve compiled a list of 10 90’s memories that we’re sure to all admit remembering at one point. • The Tamagotchi: The cheap plastic mini game that nobody ever really knew how to play properly. We just clicked the buttons and hoped for the best that our [...]

10 Worst Tennis Player Tantrums and Tirades
David Nalbandian was probably watching too much of the Euros 2012 the night before his final match against Marin Cilic at the Queens club on Sunday 17th of June. Despite Nalbandian being up a set, he became frustrated as Cilic broke his serve twice in the second set. Unable to control his frustration, he kicked an advertisement board underneath a line judges’ chair. The board hit into the line judges’ leg, causing an inch long cut. As a result, Nalbandian was forced to forfeit the match for unsportsmanlike conduct and [...]

This Season’s style
Walking through parks with whirl winds of yellow and fire-bright red leaves it’s time to wrap up in luxe 70s fur, lady-chic silk blouses and leopard print ankle grazers.
