Comment on London Dry Gin: What’s In A Name by Martin Miller

Martin Miller — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 11:17:22 +0000

Yes, indeed it is curious. But I’m glad to say that since I first distilled my own gin back in 1998 the category has become a broad church indeed. This has brought a vibrancy to gin that it so sadly lacked in the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, and even into the 90’s, when the big distillers consigning gin to the dustbin of history, sacrificed it on the altar of the new bland religion – vodka. Glad to say thats all changing now, with a new group of young, informed consumers returning to the gin fold, enjoying the variety of taste sensations it offers and discovering gin’s part in the rich history of the classic cocktails.

Comment on LFW 2010: How Sustainable is Ethical Fashion? by Ada Zanditon

Actually, Bats use of echolocation was a design inspiration. Our use of fairtrade organic cotton, scottish wool woven in england and use of ethically dyed natural materials such as silk and Tencel, as well as our use of local manufacturing and treatment of people, planet and business is what we consider to make our brand ethically conscious and sustainable. Please see the sustainability page on our website.
We appreciate and respect views expressed in this article however we would like to point out and correct what you have written in relation to our brand and our ethical credentials.
Thank you

Comment on Chilango, Mexican Restaurant/Takeaway – Review by Kim

Kim — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 04:32:46 +0000

I just tried their burrito and I wasn’t impressed it was a little heavy on the cilantro which overpowered the other ingrediants and the fact that I had to pay extra for sour cream and gaucamole which should come standard in any burrito. Prices seem to be on the high side compared to what I used to get from Pancho Villa’s in San Francisco…who I think serve the best burrito’s. But it’s good to see that the Taquería has finally come to the U.K, I just don’t think that they should be trying to pass it off as gourmet mexican food when it’s not.

Comment on Paranormal Activity Preview – Movie Review by Jack Deer

That being said it was very good. Don’t go in expecting it to be in your face horror because it isn’t. I will only say this: The movie had one of the biggest build-ups in movie history and then an end explosion that will scare the crap out of you. If you’re scared of things like demons and wiji boards like I am, you will be creeped out.

Overall the movie was enjoyable, but definitely not terrifying like everyone is acting like it is. See it for yourself, but don’t let the hype fool you into thinking it’s something it’s not.

Comment on Review: Marina’s Show Stopping Performance at Dingwalls by Malcolm

Malcolm — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 12:25:35 +0000

Very good review. Was at the gig as well, and Marina was brilliant, got the album – the Family Jewels, and its well worth buying, one of the best debut albums in a long time.

The Dingwalls gig was really good, with great support and enjoyed the encore performance of “Oh No!”

Comment on The Big Busk: London Busking Explained by Jonathan

Jonathan — Sat, 20 Feb 2010 20:15:01 +0000

Busk the scene and think the scene is great, if only there was a scheme running to work with buskers on the above ground circuit in the City of London. So much good work is going down the tube, and otherwise just dreary ole london Town above ground. Come on peeps, its a lot better than allowing straight out beggars to work the pitches. Out and out musicians, are short oppertunities to present their caseload!
