Whilst we’re in the heat of summer it’s a great time to enjoy some friendly fun with your friends, family or on a nice date. Whether the weather wants to hold up or not there’s always fun to be had with mini-golf. Not everyone can get into the usual 18 hole golf, it can be long and quiet, and you have to shoot into a normal hole and not a dinosaur mouth or something. When you want to be with friends you want to have fun. Mini-golf has endless themes and has great fun waiting for you. Everyone enjoys getting competitive especially over some ridiculous mini golf game. So here’s a list of some fun spots to get your mini-golf on.  Starting off in South London there is a great 18 hole course. The Dragon Quest Adventure Golf is as you guessed it themed around dragons. There’s dragons, rock caves, monster footprints, and rock paths. You might think this is great for kids and it is, but it’s also fun for those big kids who want to get competitive and have a good time. It’s a large c...

It has two heated pools that are always kept perfectly at 28C. The main pool is 36M long and the second one is that bit shorter for children and parents. They have adult only classes and half the pool is always used for lane swimming. So whether...

Now whether you truly enjoy working out or not, i’m going to go with the majority and say probably not. It is still good for you to get your half hour of exercise daily.

There are so many consoles out there, and right up there as the main competitors we have Xbox versus Playstation. I personally love both, have both with all their generations and both have pros and cons. This blog isn’t about picking apart each one and why they're better. It definitely won’t be about how PC is ultimately better than all of them anyway. I’m here to talk about some of the best games that have been brought out on both Xbox and Playstation, and if you haven’t played these before I would definitely recommend them. There are options for the 360, ps3, Xbox One, and PS4. So no matter what one you’ve got you’ll have a couple options on here for you. The plus is that you can get these games from Amazon, ebay, game, pretty much anywhere and you don’t even have to leave your house and they’re still pretty affordable games too with lots of gameplay hours behind them. Starting with options for the Playstation3 and Xbox 360: Bioshock Infinite is an amazing place to sta...
