Don't stop, friend, keep surfing!
Be honest: how is your neck feeling right now? If you are reading this on a phone, the answer is probably not great. Hours of scrolling, typing and staring at screens slowly pull our heads forward until our shoulders feel like they belong to someone twice our age. That is why we love this little…
There is a theory among riders that the right pair of sunglasses adds at least ten kilometres per hour to any gallop. Scientists have never confirmed it. After watching this clip, we are not sure they need to. The rider appears in full summer mode: dark glasses, relaxed posture, hair flying in the wind. Underneath…
Most people walk into a seafood restaurant, look at the menu for ten minutes and order the fish of the day. Our host walks in, looks at the tanks full of crabs, shrimp and shellfish, and clearly decides that the menu is merely a suggestion. What follows is a four-minute tour through the ocean. Little…
It always starts with one jacket. You walk into the boutique just to look. Just to get an idea for autumn. Then the shop assistant holds up a cropped black leather jacket, and suddenly you are standing in front of the mirror with your hands on your hips, checking the angle like a movie star….
Every friend group has one. You walk for ten minutes, you stop at a traffic light, and when you turn around to say something, your friend has disappeared. Then you look down.

There is one sentence every home cook fears more than a burnt pan. It is not you forgot the salt. It is not the oven is broken. It is the sound of a car door outside, fifteen minutes too early. The caption sets the scene in Russian: when your husband comes home early and dinner…
There are many sports in Britain. Football, cricket, snooker, queueing. But behind the counter of a cosy pub there is another discipline that never makes it onto television: the competitive bar towel flick. The setting is perfect. Polished wood, shiny beer taps lined up like soldiers, warm lamps and those beautiful old painted mirrors advertising…
Every beach holiday needs one perfect selfie. The light was right, the sunglasses were on, the green umbrella made a lovely frame overhead, and the sea breeze was doing wonderful things to her ponytail. She lifted the phone, found her best angle and smiled. Then the dog arrived. Not just any dog. A small white…
At first glance it looks like a nature documentary. A wide green field, a dirt track, big clouds rolling over the hills and, in the distance, a dark cloud of tiny shapes rising into the sky. Starlings, you think. Maybe a flock of geese getting organised for winter. Then the camera tilts up, and the…
