Remember the Beano… ? well you should do as it’s been around for 70 years believe it or not.
To celebrate, The Children’s Furniture Company has teamed up with THE BEANO to create just 70 rather funky Dennis The Menace Go-Carts that I’m sure would be on every little boy’s Christmas list.
It retails for £195 and I’m sure the cost per ware would be well worth it. It has been designed on Dennis’ original (some very iconic styling here) and is extremely sturdy – basically it will withstand a fair amount of ware and tear expected from your little rascals!
With each one you also get a Beano Goody Bag which will include a copy of the 70th Anniversary Edition of the Beano; plus pots of red and black paint to customise your kart in Beano colours. The Kart can be put together in about half an hour - you don’t need any batteries either!
The Kombi-Kart runs on good old fashioned gravity and turns any hill or slope into a fun-track.

I was really intrigued to eat dinner at Inamo as I’d heard amazing things about the unique interactive ordering system and entire digital experience.
As Asian food is an absolute favourite of mine I was hoping I would enjoy tasting these appetising dishes and also the fast paced atmosphere provided by this oriental fusion restaurant situated right in the heart of Soho.
As soon I stepped inside this intimate space it commanded my attention, all I could see was uber-cool digital photographic landscape images and patterns projected onto each table setting. I was greeted, led to my table and was encouraged to play with the digital menu drop down system, which basically meant I could navigate food items from a mouse pad to the right of my place mat. I must admit it took me a while to get to grips with the touch sensitive menu system but once I had grasped its functionality I added a variety of two small dishes, one large dish, two sides and a couple of cocktails as a recommended combination from the waiting staff.

I have been suffering with a bit of a sniffle recently. My wife says it’s a very bad case of man flu…... jeeezz no sympathy these days…...
Anyway, I tried these luxury Manuca Honeysuckers to relieve my icky throat and was pleasantly surprised. Billed as luxury cough sweets, these things are certainly flavoursome and did offer some assistance to my soar throat.
I did have one serious gripe. They are nigh on possible to extract from the packet without getting sticky goo all over your hands…
