Seems strange that this is taking place in London rather than Manchester, but you have plenty of time to book a discount train ticket to The Manchester Connection exhibition at the Movie Poster Art Gallery, should you not be in the capital.

Who needs Monopoly when you can get your hands on Rap Battles, the first (and probably last) hip hop board game.

I've seen some odd merchandise in my time. Indeed, we've written about most of it. But I think Marky Ramone Brooklyn's Own pasta sauce beats the lot.
Yes, this is the work of Marky Ramone - longstanding member of punk pioneers The Ramones and the only surviving member of the longest-running incarnation of the band. Thankfully he's not reforming a new line-up of the band, instead he's been in the kitchen to produce 'a recipe so flavourful, it beats the rest…now put it to the test'.
If you do want to put it to the test, you'll have to pay $88 for a case of it (12 jars). Sadly for us Brits, he's refusing to ship it directly overseas. If you're a shrewd entrepreneur, there might be a gap in the market there.
