Lyle’s Golden Syrup has been named as Britain’s oldest brand. Its distinctive green and gold packaging has remained virtually unchanged since 1885.

Finally, a kitchen gadget that men will actually use – think of all those smoothie-blenders and breadmakers rusting in the [...]...More

According to TechEBlog, it has a 414hp V8 engine, all-wheel drive, standard xenon headlamps surrounded by an LED cluster (this sounds cool), and [...]...More
The times are long gone when a wine cellar meant a damp basement where you keep the Blue Nun until the next family party. Nowadays, wine cellars are high-tech appliances in their own right. Take Caple’s WCi46B, which sounds like a robot rejected from Star Wars, but looks like a fridge-full of grape-based goodness. It’s [...]...More

What would Pete Doherty wear if he was going on a shooting weekend in the country? His trilbies are smart and ultra-fashionable, but they’re lacking that aristocratic je-ne-sais-quoi. However, headwear e-tailer Newurban appears to have the answer with its smart new range of tweed trilby hats. Well, almost. They’re warm and comfortable, ...More

They asked readers to submit entries and have created a novel ‘smells map’, which you [...]...More

I’ve never played the scarily popular World of Warcraft (BUY IT) so I don’t fully understand what’s going on here. What I do understand is this: three guys kill a wolf because they like its boots (why would a wolf wear boots?), having previously agreed to role a dice (or the World of Warcraft equivalent) [...]...More

In my head, a concept car should: a) Be wildly unrealisable for at least the next ten years.b) Look completely different to anything else on the roads.c) Be able to fly. So when [...]...More
