London Cocktail Week

London Cocktail Week draws to a close on Sunday. No doubt there will be one or two hangovers at the start of next week but in the meantime there is plenty of (responsible!) fun to be had.

David Haye Retires

Loudmouthed boxer David Haye has today announced his retirement from the sport. The former WBA Heavyweight Champion had been expected to release the news, with reports earlier in the week that Haye had not renewed his license.

Man of Steel to be Crowned

UPDATE - the winner of this coveted prize was Castleford's Rangi Chase. This is a tremendous achievement given that the team didn't even qualify for the play-offs.
