Here boy, good boy ? Jack Russell London Accessories Brand
Not only is Jack Russell the name of one of our favourite dog breads, it?s now one of our favourite accessory brands too ! Jack Russell, the accessories brand of course, evolved from the union of leather bag and accessory specialists, Jack Russell Malletier Paris. The brand?s approach was to create a range of bags and accessories that made it easier for the urban man to live and work exactly how they want to. Each item is finished with Jack Russell?s signature logo. Inspired by the concept of travel without borders and referencing Morse code ? the shortest and most far reaching method of communication ? the logo?s graphic, minimalist design reflects Jack Russell?s bold outlook and straightforward design aesthetic.
Geographic coordinates are a recurring characteristic of the brand. Each range is inspired by a global location. Borough, Jack Russell London?s signature range, for example, is named after the site of its London headquarters.
So for example the 51°30? LEATHER collection, comprises of premium full grain embossed goat leather, the 51°30? Leather collection is available in three colour ways ? black, burgundy and lava ? most feature Jack Russell?s signature contrasting burgundy lining and palladium or pale gold hardware. The range consists of three products, including a backpack and briefcase, with dedicated areas to hold documents and office essentials. The 24-hour bag has been designed specifically with the urban commuter in mind. The two zips allow separation of office essentials and workout kit. With multi-functionality in mind, the 24-hour bag can be used for an overnight stay or as a carry-on bag for a long haul flight.
Then we have the 51°30? NYLON collection constructed in Black and Khaki Korean nylon, Jack Russell?s nylon range features a contrasting lining and palladium hardware for a contemporary urban look. With a style to suit every taste, the line comprises of a Camera Bag, Backpack, Slim Briefcase and 24-hour bag.
Lastly we have the 51°30? SLG collection, similarly to the mainline leather collection, the wallet and cardholder range is manufactured using full grain embossed goat leather. In addition, Jack Russell has also introduced smooth calf leather into this collection. The accessories line features a contrasting lining and pale gold hardware to perfectly complement the leather and nylon collections.

25 Most Hotly Anticipated Movies Of Summer 2017 – Ranked
DC
Who needs sunshine, beaches and ice cream when you could be spending your summer days and nights basking in the rays of the cinema screen?
This summer, Hollywood is boasting a muscle-bound spread of blockbusters, catering to the crowds looking for brainless popcorn thrills, genuinely creepy scares and more thoughtful palate-cleansers all at once. Of course there are sequels and comics book movies, but to say they define the entire slate would be a disservice to some of the smaller, braver projects that are standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
In the next few months, we get to see the work of directors as gifted as Edgar Wright, Sir Ridley Scott, Kathryn Bigelow and Christopher Nolan, so there’s no excuse to turn your nose up at the idea of another blockbuster season kicking off. And if you do for some reason choose to hit the poolside instead, you’ll be missing some phenomenal movie moments.
So which movies should you be watching this summer?

The Defenders Teases Return Of Evil Elektra
Netflix
In case you weren’t paying attention at the end of the last episode of Daredevil Season 2, Elektra is coming back and she’s likely to be bad. After her death, the anti-hero was revived by The Hand (and dressed in a version of her iconic red costume from the comics), and there’s a hint in a little teaser released on The Defenders‘ Twitter account that she is going to be the villain of the ensemble piece.
The teaser was a flash of the ceremony that brought Elektra back to life from Daredevil’s second season, and the „oh great“ comment alongside it definitely seems to confirm that she’s going to remain allied to The Hand when she reappears (and that she’ll very much be an enemy of The Defender).
Whether she’ll stay bad by the end of the series remains to be seen (knowing her comic book backstory, there’s every chance she’ll jump across to the good side once more), but it seems inevitable that we’ll be seeing a continuation of the Black Sky storyline from Daredevil, on a scale big enough to warrant the superhero team-up in the first place.
The Defenders is released on August 18th and ahead of that you can run-down every character confirmed for the mini-series so far here.

LOL Round-up: Before kids vs after kids
Photo credit: lightwavemedia, Shutterstock
Did you think that life wouldn?t change when you had a baby? Is it even possible to explain to the uninitiated just how much things change once small people take over your life? Some differences we embrace and some we just need to suck it up and have a laugh about it. One things for sure, life before kids vs after kids is never the same!
Illness Before Kids vs After Kids
Remember when being ill meant laying in bed all day watching daytime TV and generally feeling sorry for yourself? Well in life after kids being ill means everything just carries on as normal except for the feeling really sorry for yourself part.
Louise from Pink Pear Bear tells us more in her post Being Ill As A Parent?
Every One Else in The World: Not change out of your pajamas.
A Parent: Want desperately to stay in your pajamas but equally don?t wish to be the subject of a letter from the school!
Romance Before Kids vs After Kids
I can see all parents looking very confused at the word romance. If you really really think about it and cast your mind way way back, you might just remember when romance existed in your life.
Lucy from Real Mum Reviews sums up romance after kids in her post New Mum Romance RIP?
The only thing you want to be on top of is the washing.
The only thing you want to be under is your duvet?..
Homes Before Kids vs After Kids
Did your home once resemble minimalist chic? Was it always neat and tidy? Did you ever have to look under the sofa for Postman Pat and lost raisins?
Becka from Mummy EST 2014, highlights the changes around the home that seem to happen AK in her post The Invasion: Codename ?Parenthood?
The kitchen cupboards became full of brightly coloured plastic dishes which quickly replaced the coordinated dinnerware that was once organised so neatly. Although we had managed a victory in something called ?weaning? meaning the steriliser and bottles were gone, the victory was short lived as the kitchen table was the next victim. A high chair and wipe clean matting replaced the once sophisticated dinner table decor.
Working Before kids vs After Kids
Parenting isn?t all doom and gloom. Once you?ve negotiated with a toddler you can own any board room.
Siobahn from Pass The Wine Please tells us why work after kids is sometimes easier in her post When Being at Work Doesn?t Seem as Hard Work!
Sometimes, you have to say no to your colleagues ? generally they take this on the chin and find an alternative solution. On no occasion have they reacted by having a shit-fit on the carpet or lunging at me with a spatula
Bank Holidays Before Kids vs After Kids
A three day weekend was the dream right? After kids a three day weekend becomes a bit of a marathon that leaves you longing for normality.
Emma from Brummy Mummy of Two sums up the differences brilliantly in her post August Bank Holiday. Then vs Now
Then ? Apart from the lie ins and the never ending drinking you may have nipped away for a mini break and had actual sexy time. Or took long strolls in the country or perhaps a late night trip to the flicks. All whilst being a bit tipsy of course.
Now ? YOU DECIDE TO GO TO IKEA ON BANK HOLIDAY MONDAY AND HAVE A SMALL BREAKDOWN AND FIGHT WITH YOUR OTHER HALF OVER TEENY TINY CANDLES THAT YOU DON?T NEED BUT WANT.
The Ideal Parent before Kids vs After Kids
Do you ever look at people?s social media and think, they can?t possibly have kids? They cannot look that good in a house that clean, if they share it with small people.
Danielle from Someone?s Mum has a brilliantly visual post highlighting the differences between how we portray life with kids, and the actual realities; Stock Photo?s vs Reality
Nights Out Before Kids vs After Kids
Remember when nights out didn?t get started until 9pm. Nowadays if you are out past 9pm you are either asleep at the bar, or the wine has made you forget the small people will allow you no hangover compensation in the morning.
Laura from Five Little Doves talks about the sacrifices you have to make in life after kids, including those nights out: In the Words of Elton John, ?It?s No Sacrifice??
You will never drink with that same wild abandon that you had pre kids, the kind of drinking that only those who know that they can spend the entire day in bed the following day can partake in. Laying in bed with a banging head, sweating out last nights triple vodka was almost a guilty pleasure. You?d sober yourself up to a point where the Mcdonald?s drive through was just about achievable, demolish your double cheeseburger and fries like you?ve never been fed, and then spend the afternoon drifting in and out of consciousness watching re-runs of Friends and praying to feel human again.
With kids? It?s a case of two paracetamol and man up!!
Shopping Before Kids Vs After Kids
Online shopping is the saviour of parents everywhere. FACT.
Fran from Whinge Whinge Wine shares her before and after kids views in her post Weekends With The Kids
Go treat yourself, you deserve it! Sadly for the parent, shops are the birthplace of the tantrum. Save yourself the hassle and the judgemental stares and just hand your toddler £30 to rip up while he screams at you.
Home Improvements Before Kids vs After Kids
I wrote a post about the agony of DIY after kids: DIY before Kids vs DIY After Kids
Before Kids? You wore scruffy DIY clothes and maybe put your hair in pigtails and wore a bandanna to look ?cute?.
After Kids? You are alarmed to discover that your once worn out DIY clothes look positively smart compared to your normal day wear. Your husband compliments you on your clothes. Although you don?t remember them being so snug last time. You vow to buy new clothes and start a diet.
See you next month for some more funnies. In the meantime head on over to my #FridayFrolics linky, and link up your posts guaranteed to make us giggle.

10 Metal Albums That Should Have Been Great (But Totally Weren’t)
More often than not, when a band finds itself under pressure for an upcoming album, it’s a make-or-break scenario. The act in question either rises to the occasion and crafts a defiant masterpiece or, in the case of the records featured in this list, the hype outlives the end result, crafting nothing short of a crushing disappointment for an excited, almost cult fan-base.
These ten albums fell short of their build-up in disastrous, dumpster fire fashion, either going on to divide a fan-base right down the middle or, in the worst of cases, unite them in thinking „Yeah, this sounds as fun as a pneumatic drill to the cranium.“
In either scenario, though, it is worth prefacing this list by saying that not every entry on it is objectively „bad“. Some of them have either been unjustly vilified or been seen from a more forgiving, understanding stance in more recent years.
From classic, infamous failures to modern blunders, the point remains: If a record left a sizeable chunk of its band’s fan-base jaded, angry or disillusioned at the time of its release, it deserves a slot here.

Schumacher name returns to Formula Three podium | Weekend Racing Wrap
The World Rally Championship produced another thrilling event in 2017 as the series made its way South to Argentina, where a surprise maiden victory was denied on the final stage in an incredibly close finish.
Elsewhere the reigning IndyCar champion took his first victory on an oval and the Schumacher name returned to the podium in Formula Three for the first time in over two decades.
European Formula Three
Races 4-6: Monza
Force India junior Jehan Daruvala and McLaren apprentice Lando Norris shared the front row of the grid for the first race, but as at Silverstone Norris got away poorly again. He bounced back quickly, however, recovering to second before passing fellow rookie Daruvala for the win. Ferdinand Habsburg took the final podium position.
Continuing the trend from Silverstone, Joel Eriksson won race two. Norris took second after passing Mick Schumacher on the sixth lap. The Prema driver held on to take third, scoring the first F3 podium finish for a Schumacher since his uncle Ralf won the Macau Grand Prix in 1995.
Callum Ilott completed the Silverstone flashback by winning race three. Eriksson slipped to fourth from pole at the start with a poor getaway, allowing Ilott to surge into a lead he never lost. Norris once again proved feisty as he overtook Ferrari junior Guan Yu Zhou for second. Fourth for Eriksson preserved his lead in the championship but Norris is just one point behind.
World Rally Championship
Round 5: Argentina
Elfyn Evans held a surprise lead in Rally Argentina by 0.6 seconds heading into the final stage, but his maiden victory was snatched at the last possible moment by Thierry Neuville.
As his competitors fell by the wayside on Friday morning Evans kept his nose clean, taking full advantage of his DMACK tyres and low position in the running order to open up an early lead. Mads Ostberg impressed on his return by holding second. But Kris Meeke exited the rally in spectacular fashion, his Citroen rendered unrecognisable after the first of two sizeable accidents throughout the rally.
By the middle of Saturday Evans? lead was up to over one minute, but a charge from Neuville in the afternoon ? coupled with problems for Evans ? saw the M-Sport driver?s advantage slashed to just 11 seconds heading on Sunday morning.
Further problems on next opening two stages saw Evans? lead trimmed to just 0.6 seconds heading into the final ?Power Stage?. Neuville set blistering pace, but a flying start by Evans seemed to put him on course for a breakthrough victory. It wasn?t to be, however: a brush with a bridge cost Evans valuable time, and Evans lost a rally he?d led from the start by a final margin of just 0.7 seconds.
IndyCar
Race 4: Phoenix
Remarkably, reigning IndyCar Series champion Simon Pagenaud had never won a race on an oval. He put that right at Phoenix with his first win of the season, which catapulted himself into the championship lead.
Helio Castroneves led the field away but there was drama behind immediately as Mikhail Aleshin spun causing those further back to scatter, and inevitably collide. Five cars were eliminated from including pre-race championship leader Sebastien Bourdais.
Castroneves led the restart but was passed by Will Power in the pit stop. A crash by Takuma Sato at the second round of stops saw Pagenaud ? who hadn?t pitted ? inherit a comfortable lead. The reigning champion never looked back and won comfortable ahead of Power and JR Hildebrand, the latter making a successful return from injury.
Euroformula Open
Races 1-2: Estoril
The EuroFormula Open season started in Estoril, with Harrison Scott winning both races for the RP Motorsport team on his debut weekend in the championship. In race one, Scott took the win from pole position, but only after losing out to Nikita Troitskiy at the start. Pedro Cardoso and Daniil Pronenko collided, eliminating both from the race and bringing out the Safety Car.
After the cars were cleared and racing was resumed, Scott passed Troitskiy almost immediately on the straight, but the Russian hit back into turn one. While the two at the front battled, Ameya Vaidyanathan caught up, creating a three way fight for the lead. Soon after, Scott took the lead once more, with Vaidyanathan following him through as Troitskiy struggled to keep pace.
Troitskiy fell into the clutches of the midfield, and was eventually forced to retire when he touched the rear tyre of Yan Leon Shlom and broke his front wing. At the front however, Scott won by 1.3 seconds ahead of Vaidyanathan, with Matheus Iorio, Jannes Fittje and Eliseo Martinez rounding out the top five.
Race two was more straightforward for Scott. From second on the grid, he took the lead into turn one and controlled the race to take a lights-to-flag victory. Troitskiy was pole sitter, but ended up 10 seconds behind Scott in second place by the chequered flag. The safety car was again deployed on lap one when Alex Karkosik spun at the first corner and blocked the track, and Pronenko again crashed at the start, hitting Lodovico Laurini.
After the restart, Scott pulled away from Troitskiy, who in turn pulled away from Shlom in third. Thiago Vivacqua took third from Shlom on lap nine, and the Russian?s day got worse when Fittje made contact, taking him out of the race. The final order behind Scott and Troitskiy was Vivacqua, Fittje, Devlin DeFrancesco and Simo Laaksonen, with the latter two swapping positions on the final lap of the race.
World Touring Car Championship
Races 3-4: Italy
The Opening Race at Monza went the way of Tom Chilton?s SLR Citroen ahead of Rob Huff in the Munnich-run example of the same car. Tom Coronel was on pole position for this reverse-grid race after qualifying in 10th, but after stalling both on the formation lap and the actual start, he plummeted down the order before the field reached turn one.
This left Mehdi Bennani in the lead ahead of Chilton and Norbert Michelisz, who quickly dispatched the Englishman at the Rettifilio. Michelisz then set about catching Bennani, and an audacious move into the Parabolica on lap three was blocked by the Moroccan, with the two making contact, forcing both to retire. This meant Chilton inherited the lead, while Esteban Guerrieri moved up to second with Huff third. Huff passed Guerrieri down the pit straight on lap five for second, but despite catching up to within four tenths of Chilton, the 2012 champion couldn?t find a way past.
Thed Bjork won the Main Race from pole position ahead of Tiago Monteiro, but only after having to pass the Honda driver on lap two after losing the lead at the start. Bjork then started to pull away from the rest of the field until Chilton suffered a driveline issue and pulled to the side at Ascari, forcing the deployment of the safety car. After the restart, Bjork continued to draw clear, winning by two seconds ahead of Monteiro and Huff, while Nicky Catsburg and Nestor Girolami made it three Volvos in the top five.
NASCAR Cup
Race 9: Richmond
Joey Logano won his first race of the season at Richmond, despite started at the back of the grid because of a transmission change.
The first stage was won by Matt Kenseth while Brad Keselowski took the second ? also finishing runner-up overall to his Penske team mate Logano. The only major incident of note came late on when Jimmie Johnson ran high and pushed team mate Dale Earnhardt Jr. ? who announced earlier this week he was to retire at the end of the season ? into the wall.
Race 8: Bristol
Jimmie Johnson won the rain-delayed race at Bristol.
Also last weekend
Valtteri Bottas became a winner in Formula One with victory in the Russian Grand Prix. An impressive start saw him lead into turn one from third on the grid, and despite late pressure from Sebastian Vettel the new Mercedes recruit held on for his maiden victory, with Kimi Raikkonen completing the podium in third.

10 Big 2018 Movies You Should Be Worried About
Where does the time go?!
It’s hard to believe we’re almost halfway through the year already, but on the plus side, this means some of 2018’s biggest movies will be revving up those marketing campaigns within the next few months.
From wizarding movies, DC movies and X-Men movies to sequels in the Jurassic Park universe and Marvel’s biggest movie to date, there’s plenty to look forward to, but because we haven’t yet seen much from these projects – many of which are over a year away – we don’t really know what to expect from them.
And when a project is in the early stages of development and information is limited, it’s easy to make assumptions, since there aren’t many concrete facts to go on. This can make you worry about a movie you’re eager to see, or question one that seems to be making several odd creative choices early on.
There are plenty of movies like this in 2018, from massive blockbusters to mid-tier fan-favourites, and each carries at least one significant reason why the project may have you – at least a little – worried.
