If BBC’s preppy styled pieces are your thing, then you might be interested to see the new collection, now available at Boutique 1. Apparently, the theme of the new assortment of tees, hoodies and trainers is ‘Wealth is of the heart and mind, not of the pocket’. That’s all well and good, but there’s no way we could pay for this stuff with our hearts and minds alone. Hmmm, Jedi mind control…

Polaroid fans rejoice. Just when you thought all the world’s precious (and slightly pricey) film for your magical little cameras was running out, The Impossible Project (odd name, yes) comes along to start selling it again.

Now, obviously the main deal here is that previously impossible to find Polaroid films are now available, so whoopdidoo about that, but something that caught our attention more was the rather snazzy and excessively 80s Factory Jacket they’re offering as well. Just look at that nylon sheen. Behold the colourful stripe across the centre.

To utter a phrase we’ve used quite often on this site: we want.

There’s only a few available (they were actually found in the vaults of a former Polaroid factory) so get in quick. And can you get us one too please.

Having unveiled their fancy spaceship in December, Virgin Galactic have now given the VSS Enterprise its first airborne adventure. The first craft of the SpaceShipTwo class took off this week from the Mojave Spaceport in California, carried by White Knight II. (That’s actually two flying machines your seeing there, the VSS Enterprise is the bit in the middle and this is bit that will do the whole ‘space’ thing.)

Now, last year those flush chaps in Abu Dhabi invested one heck of a lot of money in Virgin Galactic. This should mean that at some point we’ll be seeing such spaceship sights over here. Obviously we haven’t got a spaceport yet (Ras Al Khaimah’s hilarious effort has sadly been canned), but I’d like to nominate Dubai Terminal Two, just so the departures board would read something like ‘Baghdad, Basra, Space, Mogadishu’.

If you enjoy seeing your breakfast again, then no doubt you’re looking forward to the roller coasters on Ferrari World, the world’s biggest indoor theme park set to open on Abu Dhabi’s Yas Island later this year. And just to get fans of ludicrous theme park rides giddy with excitement, developers have given a few statistical hints as to what we can expect.

The Ferrari F430 replica four-seater ride (above) will be two kilometres long and travel up to speeds of 95 km/h. And because the track fits two cars running side-by-side, it’ll feel like a race, with a different winner each time.

But this is small fry compared to the frankly gut-wrenching stats of Ferrari World’s F1 rollercoaster, which is rumoured to travel at “speeds exceeding 200 kmh”.

Other attractions will include a driving and racing school for youngsters and a “Flume ride” that takes you on through the heart of a giant Ferrari 599 engine.

It sounds ridiculous. And yes, we want to go so very bad.

Everyone’s life is governed by an internal code of conduct. Some call it morality. Others call it religion. But Bros in the know call this holy grail the Bro Code.

Historically a spoken tradition passed from one generation to the next, the officail code of conduct for Bros appears here in its pushlied form for the first time ever. By upholding the tenets of this sacred and legendary documents, any dude can learn to achieve Bro-dom.

Barney Stinson, self-proclaimed best bro ever and star of How I Met Your Mother and Matt Kuhn give us a book that’s filled with awesomeness all over. Aimed at Bros and wingmen around the world, The Bro Code is a guide to being the best Bro you possibly can. Here are some excerpts:

Article 3: If a Bro gets a dog, it must be at least as tall as his knee when full-grown.

Article 99: A Bro never asks for directions when lost.

The Bro Code is available at Magrudy’s bookshops in Dubai for Dhs50.
