We’ve all been there, cosy on a long-haul flight after the stress of an airport. You settle down with your complimentary neck pillow and pull down the little blind on the porthole. It’s nap-time. That is until the flight attendant wakes you up and lets the harsh light in by yanking the blind back up. […]

Do not want. This is pretty sickening. When you’ve checked into your brand new hotel room, you assume everything is going to be squeaky clean, with all traces of the previous guests erased by housekeeping.

As far as face-swaps go, this is one of the classier efforts we’ve seen.

Football lost one of its all-time greats on Thursday when it was confirmed that Johan Cruyff has lost his battle with cancer at the age of 68. It’s hard to think of one person who has done more for football, as a player and a visionary, than the Dutch legend. And even as he neared the […]
