You’ve got two minutes to name all of Ireland’s landlocked counties. One of the best things about how small Ireland is that you’re never really more than an hour or two away from the coast. We pretty much never get weather good enough to make you want to go, but that’s beside the point. There are […]

He who dares, wins… Some TV shows simply never get old. 40 years after the first episode of Only Fools and Horses aired, it remains one of the most re-watched programmes on earth and would be many people’s choice for greatest comedy of all time.

“They’re always thinking about portfolio.” While the phrase “it’s not personal, it’s just business” isn’t exactly a new one, it’s still worth asking whether or not that is the case for an entrepreneur. Most of their time, and usually all of their money, goes into getting the business off the ground and it’s next to […]

“It shows the initial investment stage and does that very badly.” It would be interesting to find out just how much an effect the media has on our chosen profession.

Drone-delivered food will be available from next month, and it’ll get to you in less than three minutes!

“Once you start issuing ‘make it so’ commands, it’s broken.” If taking a leap of faith to start your own business is what stops most of us from becoming entrepreneurs, it’s what comes after that determines the success of those that do.

“If food waste was a country it’d be the third largest emitter after China and the US.” We’ve all done it. You open the fridge door, get a whiff of something awful and instantly try to find the source. Whether the culprit is a long-passed chicken breast or a sour bottle of milk, the cause […]

There have been some terrible video game movies, but it’s a disgrace that Super Mario Bros didn’t win an Oscar… Let’s be honest here folks, it’s very rarely a formula that works. Video game movies tend to vary from absolutely terrible and so-bad-they’re-good to just about watchable. With the news that Sonic the Hedgehog had […]

The world of electric cars is about to get a whole lot more exciting. Putting an end to climate change is of course a noble cause to get behind, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be a lucrative one. The demand for electric cars is most certainly on the rise, and it doesn’t take very […]

“It doesn’t start with the idea, it starts with the problem.” A quick Google of what defines an entrepreneur is sure to include something along the lines of “someone willing to risk money to make money.” If that is the case, those willing to make that leap of faith will need to have more than […]

I can’t do this (Scrubs quiz) all on my own… March 2020 will mark 10 years since Scrubs came to an end. Season eight (you know, where JD walks out the doors of Sacred Heart to the tune of Peter Gabriel) was the true finale to Scrubs. You’ll have a hard time convincing me that […]

I’ve been expecting you, Mr Bond villain fan. Twenty six movies, seven different actors and spanning as many decades (counting this year’s No Time To Die), the James Bond movie franchise will likely never be topped.

Reckon you’re enough of a dog breed expert to name these famous pooches in two minutes? The fact there isn’t a “Best Doggo” award at the Oscars is a travesty. How many times have we seen it where a man’s best friend was the star of the show, only for the boring human to scoop […]

Only a true Will Smith fan will ace this bad boy (pun intended). Nah, it simply can’t be true. There is no way that Will Smith is 51 years old, and if he is we want to know how both him and Paul Rudd (50) found the Fountain of Youth. Big Willy has had one […]

Bad Boys For Life is out this month. Sh*t just got real… Some movies never really get old. If Bad Boys For Life is half as re-watchable as its predecessors, we’re in for a treat. Actually, it should be enough once we have an excessive amount of low swooping shots of Mike and Marcus. That’s […]

We’re giving you three minutes to name as many Malcolm in the Middle characters as you can. What a show this was.
