With the World Cup soon approaching and plenty of excitement filling the air as to whether Fabio Capello’s team will bring back the trophy, the shopping world has also got into the act. Not only have Armani Exchange launched an exclusive T-shirt, but the sponsors Toshiba have said that if you buy a set within the next two months, and England win the competition, Toshiba will give you your money back. How cool is that? From Fifa videos...

It’s getting to feel like springtime, so I’m thinking of taking a couple of days off to nip up to the Lake District for a long weekend. But I don’t want to go if it will be cold and miserable. (If that’s the case, I’ll curl up at home with a good book.) So should I go? And if so, should I take off the Thursday and Friday, or the Monday and Tuesday? Bing can help. Searching for “Weather in Windermere” gives...

If you’re anything like me then you love a  bargain. You hunt around for the best deals, sign-up for Martin’s money-saving tips, keep an eye on sample sales via Daily Candy and have signed-up to just about every high-street shop’s website – just so you can receive the 20% off exclusive emails.

In the week of the budget, it was very timely to read that, according to Euromonitor, lipstick sales have increased by more than 3%. Why? Well, some economists believe that during a recession, women will purchase more lipstick because it is an affordable luxury. Instead of splurging say £100 on a dress, women have been purchasing lipstick to add an instant lift to their drab wardrobe. Even if you’re a bit skint this month, you can...

With home improvement, interior and design experts, the event really is the place to go, if you want to spruce up your home.  From a (How to…) theatre to an edible chocolate garden (yes, an edible chocolate garden!), this year’s...

It is of no great surprise that today we are featuring St Patrick’s Day on Bing, and why wouldn’t we? What other day of the year is synonymous with throwing parties, joining parades and enjoying a few pints of an unnamed but distinctively Irish beverage.

 The birds are singing, the sun is shining and finally I can replace my winter woolies with a light-weight cardigan. I love the springtime because it gives me the chance to top up my old wardrobe with a brand new collection of must-have items. So what am I looking to purchase this month? A flirty, floral dress like this gorgeous girlie number by Laundry room. Prints were seen all over the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2010...

Hot on the heels of our TV campaign, we are sponsoring the Simpsons on channel4. We’ll be posting the clip on MSN Videos (see links below) soon so you can check there if you miss it on TV. Whilst searching (on Bing of course!) for great Simpsons quotes I found the following classic ditty: “Oh, so they have Internet on computers now”. I fear I may be related to him as my granny often comes out with...
