Bentley and David Linley have produced The Linley Limited Edition Continental Flying Spur and Yves de Contades went to interview all the designers.
Interview with David Linley:
YdC: Tell us about the collaboration with Bentley on the Limited Edition Continental Flying Spur?
There is a lot of talk in various newspapers about the Best Digital Cameras, claiming that they are for good amateurs or professionals when they are in fact point and click cameras.
There is nothing wrong with point and click cameras. In fact the technology and processing software has developed so much in the last decade that you could shoot both magazine editorial and for fine art purposes on an automatic camera and no one would be the wiser.
Yves de Contades went to interview Mark Stevenson. His latest book is an inspired tour of what is going to happen next in our world and how it is happening faster than we think.
An Optimists Tour of the Future manages to entertain and cover a vast range of topics with fluid ease. Erudite, fascinating, exhilarating and packed full of heroic characters. Not to mention a rich vein of possible investment sources. We give it 5 stars.
What inspired you to create this book An Optimists Tour of the Future?
Bad Science by Ben Goldacre is one of those books that should be on a universal list of books to be read by everyone. Preferably before leaving School.
The book is great fun and impossible to put down, you have to get more information as it is so hard to believe just how bad things can get. Do you want to know if homeopathy, vitamins and those detox pills really work?

Dukes is a very short cab ride from Victoria station up to the heart of St James.
It is beautifully located between the Ritz on Piccadilly and Buckingham Palace, down a lovely little old Victorian London Mews.
The doorman greeted us with exquisite manners and gently took all our bags, and us, off to the reception desk.

This new young band has it all. They are a passionate bunch who write and create all their own material. With real stage presence, the ability to put on a great live show and a front man who has something to say, this up and coming band is definitely one to watch out for in 2014.
The Worx is also stylish, contemporary and discreet venue in which to host a private party, dinner, wedding reception, conference or corporate event.
They have held the parties for the Ridley Scott 'Robin Hood' Wrap party, the Formula 1 party and The Polo in the Park party, which they are hosting again this year.
194 countries were polled on the cost of living, leisure and culture, the economy, the environment, health, infrastructure, risk and safety and climate.
It seems that the French enjoy life, and work less hours, whilst the British are more stressed and prone to binge drinking . The French go skiing and have the Riviera at their disposal whilst also taking better care of themselves.
Most of their jewellery is based on clean classic shapes and magnificently crafted. Damiano Grassi Damiani promoted a few technical innovations, one of them the lunette effect setting which really highlights the brilliance in diamonds. All of their pieces sparkle beautifully and the attention to detail and finish is flawless.
