Well, obviously you do of course.
So yeah, as it says in our wonderful title there. Mr I, Taystayness, or for short, Mr Tay, is a vegan tiger. Yes, you did read that right and your brain isn’t scrambled. He’s a tiger that doesn’t eat meat or any products from animals…
Play Zone. That soft play area that you spent hours in as a child, attending the birthday parties of yourself and your friends. By friends, we mean everyone in your class, because your mum didn’t want anyone feeling left out.
Why are we telling you this? Because Tuesday is student night. That means you can get together (with people you actually like), and relive your youth. Continue reading
So how did we at L&T (which we’re increasingly calling ourselves during office meetings, no idea why, it sounds like a Lemonade & Tonic which would be awful), celebrate Burns Night?
Well we didn’t.

We did awkwardly go along to an event at the Lincoln Drill Hall which was in honour of the late poet Robert Burns (well, me and Alice did).
The event was organised by Liam Robinson, who is in charge of a band called “The Liam Robinson Dance Band“, unfortunately he doesn’t play sick David Guetta beats, but he does play some amazing Scottish Ceilidh dancing songs, which is just as good. Not.
It all involved dancing, singing and poetry. The first two of those things that I just wrote actually involved some level of audience participation. Imagine the awkward glances exchanged between myself and Alice as we realised that neither of us knew the lyrics to these traditional folk songs being sung.
Also the dancing was amazing. Alice got to dance with a rather elderly Scottish gentleman, and I had to dance with his wife, who was Canadian-Scottish. They were both surprisingly strong for their age and I was afraid at one moment of “Whipping The Willow” that I would in fact let go and go flying across the room.
Fear not, dear reader, that did not happen, your author is safe for now.
And they’re really rather good. The first one is called “Heart Cry”, and is a classic Pixie Lott love song, quite a slow beat, and definitely going to be one of those songs which is either on the beginning or end of the forthcoming album, but nice nonetheless.
The other song she’s released is called “Nasty”. I don’t know if she’s going through some sort of ‘third album sexual suggestiveness’ or something here, but it is rather a departure from her previous work.
Prior to this the most sexually suggestive thing she’d done was “What Do You Take Me For”, which was really quite on the line for someone with such a clean image.
Anyway, we’re unashamedly excited for the new album (well I say we, I am, Guppy won’t be, Alice won’t be, and I have no idea of Emily and Luke’s musical tastes at all, but websites like this tend to say “we” a lot so I thought it would be appropriate).
It is nice to hear a song which is aimed at ‘the clubs’ but actually has some level of jazz and trumpets in it though isn’t it.
Also there’s a bit where she gets a little ‘strong’ and goes off the notes (at 2:07) and I don’t like that bit, but other than that it’s a good song, and a worthy addition to any Pixie Lott fan’s repertoire.
I still kind of definitely fancy her quite a lot, which is odd for a gay man, I am aware.
I have to admit I had no idea what this show was when I first started watching it. I know for a fact that it’s a very popular show on ABC in America, but how would the jolly old English version play out instead?
Why should you care?
Well because it’s one of the best games ever created for an iOS device, ever.
In 2006, the country was graced with a wonderful new drama, Waterloo Road. Who’d have thought that 8 years down the line we’d have had 9 series? Definitely not us.
Last week the show returned to our screens on BBC1, after the Christmas break, bringing yet more drama and troublesome teens to the school. Continue reading

I had the utter joy of seeing this film just before Christmas, and let me say, if you liked the first one, you’ll love this new rendition.
One of the films we told you to you watch in 2014 was American Hustle. What a better way than to review a movie we mentioned. Has American Hustle, hustled its way into winning any awards? Well just carry on reading. Continue reading
So, the entire world is currently going mental about New Year Resolutions. “Yeah I’m going to be a completely different person”, “I’m going to be super healthy”, “I’m going to go to the gym everyday”, “I’m on a juice detox for January” etc etc. Yeah, yeah, we get it. New Year new you right?
We at Lincoln & That understand the whole wanting to change thing, but why do all the usual things? Why go jogging when you know you’ll spend most of your morning sat on a bench? Why diet when you know on day 8 you’ll be scoffing a McDonald’s cheeseburger? Here’s a picture just to tease you if you are dieting by the way.
How about trying something COMPLETELY different? You never know what might happen. Here are some of our suggestions for an extreme (we mean really extreme) change:
We hope your New Year resolutions (whether you’re still keeping them or have already broken them) have been made a little more exciting by watching these videos.
We all love films because we all need something that will take us away from the real world. Living our real lives is just so so so difficult. So last week we said keep your eyes peeled for Part 2. Well here is what to expect in films 2014 part 2. Continue reading
