The store is currently undergoing a revamp, to be the biggest in the world, but it will also be reflecting the fact that it’s in London , with unique murals and models that include a celebration of Harry Potter and a double decker bus. The most unique model though will be a recreation of James Bond ’s classic Aston Martin DB5 made up of 347,954 pieces and complete with rotating number plates and working lights and dashboard. Although it made its debut in 1964’s Goldfinger, when the car was brand new, the DB5 has also appeared in most of the Daniel Craig era James Bond movies and is now easily … [Read more...] about Watch the Lego store in London build a life size James Bond Aston Martin DB5

Sean Bean says men are made to feel like ‘apologists’ now for their masculinity
Sean Bean has said that he feels many men are now ‘made to feel like apologists for their sexuality and their masculinity’ while discussing his latest acting project. The 63-year-old popular Yorkshireman has starred in The Lord Of The Rings, Game Of Thrones , Bond film GoldenEye and spent a 15-year period as Bernard Cornwall’s popular Waterloo-era army major in Sharpe. He won his third Bafta earlier this year for his role in Jimmy McGovern drama Time with Stephen Graham.

Bean said, when asked, that he felt it was harder to be a man now. He told The Times : ‘Certain aspects of a man’s character are frowned upon now as being discriminatory or boorish.

Lego Store London reopens for 90th anniversary celebration and free gifts
The Lego Store in Leicester Square is now officially the biggest in the world as it begins a four-day event to celebrate 90 years of Lego. Lego is not only the most popular toy company in the world it’s one of the oldest too, stretching back all the way to August 10, 1932. They haven’t been making plastic construction bricks for all that time but if you want to see what they were up to in the early days then the newly revamped Lego Store in London has its own in-built museum, and a lot else besides. It was already a big store but with a newly enlarged upper storey there’s now space for not only the museum feature but a Personalisation Studio where you can design your own minifigures and create mosaic images of yourself in Lego. The store has also added a bunch of giant-sized new Lego builds, all of which are themed around famous British institutions and characters. There’s a Lego built double decker bus and 007’s Aston Martin DB5 , but also Harry Potter scenes set … [Read more...] about Lego Store London reopens for 90th anniversary celebration and free gifts
Jimmy Carter Revealed: Rockefeller Republican
It sounds too simple, I grant you, but just for the sake of argument, try thinking of Jimmy Carter as a Rockefeller Republican. It is hardly more simplistic than “populist,” “New South,” “evangelical,” and sundry other handles that have been tried out on Carter; it fits more snugly than any of the others do, and for me it's held firm for more than a year now. No, alas, this is not an argument that David Rockefeller first invented Jimmy Carter around 1971, arranged for Zbigniew Brzezinski to train him in global politics, and then rigged his nomination and election. Nor do I believe what some Reaganites have suggested: that a piqued Nelson Rockefeller—dumped from the Republican ticket in favor of Senator Bob Dole, a Reagan designee—contrived last fall to make Jimmy Carter the vessel of his revenge on the GOP. On the contrary, I observe here the ban on conspiracy theories in mainstream American journalism and political discussion. So unfashionable are conspiracy theories that if … [Read more...] about Jimmy Carter Revealed: Rockefeller Republican

Manhattan DA Won’t Charge Donald Trump With Any Crimes, Trump Attorney Says | The Daily Wire
Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance is not planning on pressing charges against former President Donald Trump or his business over alleged “hush money” payments or allegedly altering property values, according to a lawyer for the former president Trump attorney Ronald Fischetti told Politico on Monday that he spoke with Vance’s office last week to get an idea of what charges the district attorney was planning on bringing. Vance’s team told Fischetti that the current batch of possible charges related to executives at the Trump Organization allegedly failing to pay taxes on corporate benefits. Vance’s team denied building a case for any other charges after getting pressed by Fischetti for more information. As Politico reported: “We asked, ‘Is there anything else?’” Fischetti told POLITICO. “They said, ‘No.’” “It’s crazy that that’s all they had,” he added. When asked if the meeting touched on allegations made by Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen and by adult film star … [Read more...] about Manhattan DA Won’t Charge Donald Trump With Any Crimes, Trump Attorney Says | The Daily Wire
