8

Back in last November I wrote about online statup HungryHouse.co.uk appearing on the BBC TV show Dragon’s Den and securing a £100k investment from 2 of the Dragons for a 50% equity share. At the time I really couldn’t make my mind up if this was a good deal or not. It seems it wasn’t [...]

Will.i.am featuring Cheryl Cole?! Heartbreaker

5

Will.i.am has to be one of my favourite artists in recent years. I love the Black Eyed Peas and I love pretty much every record that he has produced/featured on with other artists too. I think he is a great producer and brings a certain special something to otherwise dull records.

The Apprentice - brilliant, brilliant TV

10

Tonight saw the welcome return of The Apprentice to our TV screens and I must say it’s good to have Sir Alan back telling all the toffs how it really is. Although I class The Apprentice as a “business/entrepreneur” type of show I have to be honest and admit that I don’t actually watch it to [...]
