Neurotic Robots Love to Party
One of my favourite movies of all time is I-Robot. OK, I admit that’s just because I love Will Smith, but the idea of robots is really very cool to me (loooooser!). Fine. But if you’re telling me that you’d say no to a robot in your house then you’re lying. And with the world’s first robot barman hitting Selfridges tomorrow (see Robotic Barman Descends on the UK) I think they have a plan!

Independent Eating
London’s relationship with America is a bit of give and take, really. They take plenty of wannabe celebrities off our hands who cross the pond to ‘make it’ in LA, and they give us loads of glorious restaurants in return. Everyone’s a winner.
