Hop Farm: the rest of the fest
Although a recent addition to the summer schedule, Hop Farm guarantees interest this year with an impressive line-up squeezed into just two days. Dominated by rock dinosaurs – from Bob Dylan, Van the Man and Blondie, to Kinks frontman Ray Davies, and Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac fame – the line-up also sees a [...]

‘The iPhone is great.’ ‘No it’s not.’ Enough!
Few things during the last decade – with the exception, perhaps, of discovering that you’ve got type 2 diabetes – have been quite as consistently irritating as the debate surrounding whether a Mac is better than a PC, or vice versa.

Short stories wanted…
So in November I asked a couple of my literary-minded colleagues to recommend some short stories to me. It’s not a form I’d particularly explored, bar a couple of forays as a teenager, so I’ve found the experience somewhat thrilling.

World Cup: Five lessons England can learn from the Dutch
If you ain’t Dutch then you ain’t much so here’s five tips from the Netherlands on how England can improve on a disappointing World Cup.
