Turnstile.co.uk has teamed up with acclaimed illustrator Peter O’Toole to herald football’s unsung heroes in the first in a series of limited-edition tees.
The first collaboration reimagines one of the most iconic Premier League images of the 90s. Iain Dowie, famed as much for his gurn as his one-in-four strike rate for clubs such as Luton, Southampton and West Ham, will be forever remembered for that expression.
The old Dowster however has been misrepresented, and deserves to be held up as the hero he really is. Dowie’s a throwback to the glory days of English football, when strikers weren’t afraid to rough up the opposition and dive head first into a crowded six yard box to nab a scrambled, last minute winner.
Dowie’s almost namesake David Bowie has a history for heralding the everyday hero (see his hit single, “Heroes”, for proof), and as such is the perfect bedfellow for the first in the Unsung Heroes series of hero tees.
The “Dowie Bowie” tee is available to purchase here, and is screen printed onto super soft Gildan premium tees.

Estrella Damm brings Joan Roca,
the world’s top Chef,
to Scotland
TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
The beer of Barcelona, Estrella Damm, has brought the world’s top chef and its own legendary “Gastronomic Experience” for the first time to Scotland.
This continues Estrella Damm’s championing of the world of gastronomy and of beer’s place as a beverage of choice across such a multiplicity of foods and dishes.
Estrella Damm’s close supporter, Joan Roca, Chef/Proprietor of El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, showcased his gastronomic delights to over a hundred of Scotland’s top chefs, restaurateurs and food experts at Colstoun House by Edinburgh.
Chef Roca is known for linking traditional cuisine with avant-garde techniques. In 2013 and 2015, his restaurant El Celler de Can Roca was voted No.1 in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants, and in 2016 his chef-peers named him winner of the Chefs’ Choice Award.
This is the first time that Estrella Damm’s “Gastronomic Experience” has come to Scotland.
The event has been inspired by its Gastronomy Congresses, a concept invented by Estrella Damm to bring together many of the world’s best chefs to experience demonstrations and discussions around food. They have previously taken place in Miami, Lisbon, Melbourne and London.
Chef Roca was joined at Colstoun House by his sous chef Ignasi Baucells and showcased a range of inspired dishes, using an array of exciting ingredients, the majority sourced in Scotland. These included:
• Langoustine with sagebrush, vanilla oil and toasted butter
• Sardines with aromas of Amontillado sherry
• Green coconut and Scottish ‘calamari’
• Royal grouse in an Estrella Damm sauce
• Whisky Beef Fillet
• Oysters Albariño
To this day, Estrella Damm is brewed in Barcelona using the original 1876 recipe and 100% local Mediterranean ingredients: barley malt, rice and hops. The quality of its ingredients is of the utmost importance, all of them chosen, and transformed for brewing, to ensure the true, pure Mediterranean taste of Estrella Damm – a great partner for Chef Roca’s dishes.
James Heath, Estrella Damm’s Regional Manager for Scotland and Northern Ireland comments:
“The Scottish food scene is thriving, with so many hyper-creative chefs using the fresh produce from their local sea and land to amazing effect. So, we were very excited to bring our “Gastronomic Experience” to Scotland.
“ These events are a one-of-a-kind experience for top people from the food industry. This was the first time we have organised such an event here and it was inspiring to see the incredible produce that is available locally. Scotland is a very important market for us as high-end gastronomy is thriving with more and more top end restaurants being recognised in Scotland.”

PHISH & CHIPS PLEASE, JENSON BUTTON
British F1 driver Jenson Button has taken the wheel of Santander’s Phish & Chips van – serving fish and chips to the public in exchange for phishing emails and SMS phishing texts (smishing)1
The Phish & Chips van has been touring the nation to raise awareness of scam messages – serving over 3,000 portions of fish and chips to the public2
The Phish & Chips van was created after research3 revealed an estimated 600 million scam attempts were made in the UK over email, text and telephone in the last 12 months4 – the equivalent of over 1.6 million scam messages each day
British racing driver Jenson Button today swapped the F1 paddock for fried haddock as he took the wheel of Santander’s unique scam-busting Phish & Chips van and served fresh
fish and chips to the public in exchange for phishing emails and smishing texts.
As Santander’s brand ambassador, Jenson is throwing his weight behind the bank’s national campaign to help the public avoid being scammed by phishing emails and smishing
messages.
Jenson fired up the friers of the Phish & Chips van as it made its appearance in London, following a month-long nationwide tour visiting Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham,
Leicester, Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff and Bristol.
During the tour, the Phish & Chips van, which accepts payment in the form of phishing emails and smishing texts, has handed out over 3,000 portions of fish and chips to the
public, along with a side of advice on avoiding the tricks criminals’ use in their attempts to steal people’s money and identities.
On his honorary new role as a scam fighting, itinerant purveyor of fish and chips Jenson Button said: “Being behind the wheel of the Phish and Chip van around London
was certainly a different driving experience! It was a lot of fun being part of the tour and serving fish and chips to the public in exchange for their scam emails. It’s been eye opening
to see how many people receive these emails every day!”
The Phish & Chips van was created following research showing how the nation is in the grip of a phishing epidemic, with a staggering three quarters (74 per cent) of Britons
targeted by scammers with phishing emails, smishing texts and vishing calls. With each person targeted receiving an average of 16 fraudulent emails, texts or calls last year, this
means up to 600 million phishing, smishing and vishing attempts potentially took place in the UK in the last 12 months (the equivalent of over 1.6 million scam messages each day).
While ‘phishing’ as a term may have entered the mainstream lexicon, Santander’s research shows that one in seven people don’t know the terms phishing, smishing or vishing at
all, while almost three quarters of people are not fully familiar with their meaning5.
Reza Attar-Zadeh, Head of Customer Experience at Santander UK, commented: “Santander takes the fight against fraud very seriously – we have seen the life changing
impact it can have on people’s lives. Consumer awareness is absolutely key to tackling what is currently one of the biggest threats to the security of people’s finances.
“Our Phish & Chips van is a way of delivering our three key fraud prevention messages in an engaging way while educating people that both banks and consumers have a role to
play in keeping the fraudsters at bay.”
In addition to dishing out fish and chips, Santander UK is serving up its top tips and advice on avoiding becoming a victim of phishing scams:
· Never share your Santander One Time Passcode (OTP), PIN number or online banking password with another person, not even Santander staff;
· Never download software or let anyone log on to your computer devices remotely during or after a cold call; and
· Never enter your online banking details after clicking on a link in an email or text message.
Reza Attar-Zadeh added: “Phishing has been around for a number of years, originating with emails that were unsophisticated and obviously fraudulent. However, today phishing
emails have evolved. They can appear in inboxes as convincing and genuine communications from consumer brands, but there are signs to look out for such as spelling mistakes,
generic greetings rather than your name and suspicious looking email addresses.”

Delivery on Demand: Planet Organic’s Delivery Service Gets the Uber Treatment Following Partnership with Street Stream
The UK’s largest organic and speciality food store, Planet Organic, has teamed up with on-demand courier firm Street Stream to offer same-day delivery in precise one-hour time-slots across all London postcodes for the first time.
With over 5,000 products to choose from, millions of Londoners can order anything from natural beauty products and fresh fruit and vegetables to organic smoked salmon and tofu and expect it on their doorsteps the same-day or on a chosen day within a precise 60-minute time-slot.
Street Stream has been dubbed the delivery industry’s answer to Uber, with independent couriers servicing their nearest delivery requests by bicycle, motorbike or van.
The new partnership means Planet Organic customers can place orders as late as 6.30pm on weekdays for delivery before 10pm that evening. On weekends deliveries arranged by 4.30pm are eligible for delivery before 8pm.
Each order is hand-picked by in-store staff at Planet Organic Westbourne Grove and customers will be charged a fixed rate for delivery based on their postcodes proximity to the store. Regardless of which day of delivery or timeslot is chosen, the fixed cost to customers will be either £9.50 or £15 depending on their location. Alternatively, customers can order online and collect their prepared orders from their nearest Planet Organic store free of charge.
In-line with its core brand values, all packaging will be made from 100 per cent recycled materials and for each new order placed, Planet Organic automatically gives preference to bicycle couriers in order to keep the environmental impact of deliveries to a minimum.
Commenting on the new service launch, Peter Marsh, CEO of Planet Organic, says: “Since the first Planet Organic store opened in 1995 we’ve worked hard to offer the best and widest range of organic foods available – but this commitment also extends to ensuring we offer the very best service to our customers both in-store and online.
“More than half of all our online orders come from within London postcodes and so being able to offer convenient delivery of delicious and healthy organic food is something we are delighted to bring to our customers through our partnership with Street Stream.”
James Middleton, founder of Street Stream, says: “Precise time slots and flexible delivery options have become an expectation as customers require more timely delivery options that fit around their lifestyles.
“This expectation has been fuelled by same-day delivery becoming the new industry standard set by big retailers like Amazon and Argos, but there’s no reason why independent retailers can’t compete which is why we started Street Stream. It levels the playing field when it comes to delivery with the delivery process put back in control of retailers rather than left in the hands of a 3rd party delivery company.
“Through our service Planet Organic can vet, rate and pick its own team of couriers trusted to deliver its customers’ orders – and we can’t wait to get started.”

The PainPod is the perfect gift for anyone who suffers from any of these ailments. What better present could you offer than a device offering a year round pain free solution and an alternative to taking painkillers.
The combination of the selected microcurrents and biomedical technology have created a totally unique product for the world market. PainPod devices are 100% drug free, easy to use, ultrawearable devices which harness the latest developments in personal physical therapy and bioelectrical technologies with the most modern evidence and understandings of how our peripheral nervous and body systems actually work to manage pain and speed recovery.
The devices will be welcomed by the UK population where 2 in 5 suffer with daily pain, 1 in 5 in chronic pain & 9 in 10 will suffer from back pain at some point in their lives. The device, originating from Australia where it is a market leading drugfree pain relief device. It is highly regarded and is already used by thousands of individuals as well as leading doctors, physiotherapists, chiropractors, sports scientists & well known athletes from around the globe.
The PainPod product range is changing lives of its varied users: helping with chronic or acute pain in the body, nerve pain, rehabilitation, post-injury and surgery recovery, prenatal, labour and postnatal pain, arthritis, diabetic neuropathy and more. The range includes PainPod Mi & PainPod 3 Physical Therapy Device, as well as a range of hand & feet applications. It is 100% drug free & works by harnessing the body’s bioelectrical system to moderate and manage pain levels, & accelerate recovery.
PainPod 3 blocks pain, accelerates recovery and increases performance through 12 scientifically developed therapy modes. It works in two ways: as a painkiller, by delivering proprietary bio-electrical nerve stimulation pulses through the skin to the nerve endings in the affected area, blocking pain signals travelling to the brain and stimulating endorphin release, the body’s “feel good” chemical. At the same time, specific frequency and waveforms activate Neuro Electrical Muscular Stimulation, increasing circulation and stimulating production of the peptides and proteins crucial to our entire body system function.
A world first, the ultrawearable PainPod Mi uniquely complements PainPod 3 by harnessing two proven technologies to promote body natural healing and provide pain relief – at the same time. MicroCurrent Electrical Stimulation, (MES) works on a cellular level and at a millionth of ampere that’s imperceptible to the user. Mimicking the body’s natural microcurrent, it stimulates production of the “energy currency of life” – Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and encourages protein synthesis – both essential for promoting tissue repair from disease or injury. (ATP is the high-energy molecule storing the energy we need to do just about everything). The Mi cannot be felt by its user (unlike PainPod 3), at the same time the microcurrent does its work, the proprietary BiStim booster gives immediate PainPod pain relief whenever needed.
Rick Rowan, CEO PainPod:
“Gifting the PainPod to someone you love is like giving ‘physiotherapy in your pocket’. When formulating the design it was important to develop beyond the current market and introduce the world to a targeted, easy-to-use pain relief device, that also looked good & could seamlessly fit into anyone’s lifestyle. We’ve reviewed thousands of studies to develop our specific formulations. Our bioengineers and research teams are continually adapting to the latest technology so we can ensure everyone can experience a non-invasive, drug free system of pain relief and recovery”.
The arrival of the product in the UK is timely. Recent news stories have highlighted concerning findings that the use of potentially addictive painkillers across Britain has doubled in the last 15 years*. Visits to doctors by those seeking medication for pain is on the increase & researchers have found that over the past 15 years one in 20 people in the UK are regularly being prescribed opioid painkillers, such as codeine, tramadol & morphine, also known as Dependence Forming Medicines. Drugs are also being prescribed for longer periods of time. Experts say long-term use leads to a risk of addiction while the benefits become greatly reduced as the body develops a tolerance. Side-effects include headaches, nausea and constipation as well as the drugs being potentially highly addictive.
High doses of common anti-inflammatory painkillers, such as ibuprofen, are even linked to cardiac arrest **Responsibility for helping those who are becoming addicted falls between the NHS and local councils, leaving a gap of no available support that can lead to dire consequences.
PainPod Mi RRP is £89, PainPod 3 RRP is £319.00 and can both be purchased from www.painpod.co.uk
