Tube trains transformed into sustainable spaces

I'm a bit of a closet underground nerd, so I got quite excited when I saw that someone with some obvious architectual flair had created some artist spaces in London recently out of disused tube trains! This may not sound like anything new, but the way the trains have been kitted out is what's interesting: once 'gutted', the carriages get a complete makeover using sustainable materials. Energy is provided by carbon neutral resources, and there's even a roof-top garden.

After being lampooned in a spoof dress-up game last year, the Olsen twins are being reminded why it's a seriously bad idea to piss off PETA. The twins' incorrigible attachment to fur coats has made 'Trashley' and 'Hairy-Kate' a consistent target for the organisation, which has now cast the 'Trollsens' in a special haunted-house themed edition of the original dressup game, just in time for Halloween. New items to try on include Hairy-Kate and Trashley masks, because "only someone as heartless as a troll would wear the skins of dead animals".

Is it veggie or not? The site with all the answers

I've lost count of the times I've been horrified to discover that my favourite sweet (hello, Bounty) or other foodstuff is not vegetarian. Or indeed, the number of times I've been delighted to discover that a product has suddenly lost its meaty additives (there were whoops of joy here when digestive biscuits finally lost their animal fat). But how can you keep tabs on this ever changing world without looking like some kind of crazed calorie-counter in the supermarket?
