Although it would be mind-blowingly impossible to summarize the year, the awesome filmmaker Jean-Louis Nguyen has done just that, creating a six minute video montage of the year’s most headline making moments.
Russia may have a lot of political baggage – but this is just silly. A giant, two-storey designer Louis Vuitton suitcase was erected on the red square, just metres away from Vladimir Lenin’s sacred mausoleum – where the mummified body of the mastermind of the Bolshevik Revolution remains.

There are certain items that you will buy every month of your life. That is a fact. And without fail, it will always, always be a chore to head out into town, to battle traffic, and aggressive car guards, or aggressive city parking officials, and random road works, just so you can get to Waltons […]

Roman Abramovich must be so upset about this. I would be. When you build yourself the biggest yacht in the world, having the biggest yacht IS a big deal. That’s how these guys work. And now Roman’s just going to have to DEAL with this beast, dubbed ‘Azzam.’
I have just settled down next to the heated pool. This after a game of tennis, some brekkie and a 10 minute steam followed by a shower. Things could be worse. How other hotels can claim to be 5-stars, I don’t know.
