A '70s-inspired rooftop bar and live music venue has landed in Freshie
We're frothing over the news that Freshie has a brand-new rooftop bar and live music venue called Bombies, created to champion Australia's best musicians and international big-name stars. And the location is a beauty, too. The '70s-inspired spot is located on top of Harbord Hotel – Northern Beaches locals know that space has been underutilised for yonks, so we're stoked to see it finally being put to good use. With views of the ocean (the same beach where legend Duke Kahanamoku surfed for the first time in Australian history in 1914), state-of-the-art staging and a retro, coastal vibe spearheaded by architects Alexander & Co that looks straight outta Puberty Blues, Bombies evokes the laid-back energy of a beach house party. Expect a packed line-up with DJs sessions, live bands, film screenings, comedy shows and more. Jeremy Bull, principal designer at Alexander & Co, says, 'Bombies is the level one rejuvenation of Harbord Hotel, transforming the old caretaker's flat into a sun-soaked band room and bar in the heart of this surfer's motherland.' The signature cocktails feature fun, summer-coded drinks like the Pico De Mango (Grey Goose vodka, mango liqueur, Lillet Blanc, habanero and lime) and the Plashdown (tequila, triple sec, watermelon, hibiscus and sage). Pair your drinks with spicy prawn tacos matched with pickled cabbage, charred corn, jalapeño and green goddess dressing; tostadas topped with seared tuna, avo, tomato salsa, pickled cucumber and chipotle mayo; and the Bombies sambo, featuring chicken schnitty, pancetta, avo, egg, mayo, gem lettuce and tomato potato chips. Speaking of Bombies, Glenn Piper, CEO of Epochal Hotels, says: 'It's like stepping into a friend's beach house where the night unfolds effortlessly – live music, cold drinks and an electric energy that just clicks. Whether it's post-surf beers, sunset sessions or a late-night dance floor moment, Bombies is where the best nights just happen.' Plus, a lush new recording studio for local artists to jam and make music is in the pipeline – it's set to open towards the end of the year – as well as boutique accommodation. How good's that? These are the best rooftop bars in Sydney.

Brooklyn Beckham locked in trademark war with Becks just weeks after family feud is laid bare
BROOKYLN Beckham has another row brewing with a Becks — but this time it's not his famous father. The eldest son of David and Victoria wants to expand his hot sauce brand so applied to trademark 'Becks Buns' in the US. Advertisement 5 Brooklyn Beckham (pictured with wife Nicola Peltz) is facing a trademark battle over the name of his hot sauce Credit: Getty 5 Brooklyn is currently locked in a feud with his famous family Credit: instagram 5 Brooklyn snubbed his dad's 50th birthday celebrations Credit: Getty But the company that makes Beck's beer is set to challenge it. It comes after the Beckham family feud was blown open last month when Brooklyn, 26, missed all of David's 50th birthday celebrations. A source said: 'It's one thing after another for Brooklyn. "First his row with his dad blows up — and now he's got another Beck's looking like it's going to become a bit of a headache.' Advertisement Brooklyn applied in January to use the name 'Becks Buns' within his Buster Hot Sauce Inc company. However, the beer's German parent firm Brauerei Beck & Co has opposed it and been granted an extension until next month to file documents. The company is part of alcohol giant AB InBev, which produces one in four lagers sold worldwide, including Stella Artois and Budweiser as well as Beck's. Brooklyn launched his first hot sauce, Cloud 23, last year and said: 'It's been a passion project of mine for the last 2½ years, something I've literally put everything into. I've never worked so hard on anything in my life.' Advertisement His parents attended the launch event in LA. However, insiders said their relationship has 'never been more fractured'. Those close to Brooklyn — who is married to US actress Nicola Peltz, 30 — insist he made a private attempt to meet his dad ahead of his 50th. But that was vehemently denied by sources close to the former England captain. Advertisement It was also claimed Nicola, who has been accused of 'controlling' her husband, had hired a PR guru. Those close to her believe she is being 'unfairly blamed' for the issues. KICK? NO HE'LL EDIT FOOTIE icon David Beckham is to guest edit Country Life mag in October. Editor-in-chief Mark Hedges said: 'David told me he reads every issue from cover to cover.' David, who lives in a £12million manor in Oxfordshire, said: 'I am really looking forward to working with the team to produce an issue that will celebrate the countryside.' Mr Hedges said the October edition will feature David's 'favourite view and his best-loved recipe'. 5 Brauerei Beck & Co, who make Beck's beer, are set to challenge the trademark Credit: Alamy 5 David Beckham is set to guest edit Country Life mag in October Credit: Getty Advertisement Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Swiping left on Mr Darcy
Illustration by Kristian Hammerstad Is it still possible to make a great romcom? Perhaps not in a contemporary setting. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life, a new, low-budget French film and the debut feature of its scriptwriter and director Laura Piani, illuminatingly tests the proposition to destruction. No first-rate romcoms have appeared for years, at least compared to their heyday in the Long Nineties. Four Weddings and a Funeral appeared in 1994, Notting Hill in 1999, Bridget Jones's Diary in 2001. In the US, Nora Ephron's classic trilogy, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and You've Got Mail, ran from 1989 to 1998. As for the romcoms of Jane Austen herself, both Emma Thompson's brilliant adaptation of Sense and Sensibility and the spiffy updating of Emma, Clueless, were released in 1995. Thirty years ago, the fundamental premise of the romcom still made sense, more or less. The historical inflections of Austen's world, in which questions of class and inheritance are inescapable and, for a woman, the chance of marriage everything, had long gone – but versions of these plots could still be made to matter. 'You don't think people are still concerned with marriage, money, romance, finding a partner?' demanded Emma Thompson back then. They were, of course, and they still are – but it's that last phrase that's the killer. In Austen's novels, and in romcoms generally, there were few opportunities to meet eligible partners: pretty much all encounters were meet-cutes, that staple of the genre. Random fortune, the great question of who bumps into whom, remained important until… when? The first online dating app, started in 1995 too. Grindr, Tinder, Hinge, Bumble and the rest have only been around 15 years or less. But in that time, they have stuffed the romcom, obliterating its key intrigue. Jane Austen Wrecked My Life tries to revive the genre but ends up proving it passé. Agathe (tall, gawky, glorious Camille Rutherford), single, in her thirties, works in the Shakespeare & Co bookshop in Paris, while trying to write novels herself. She is scarred by the death of her parents in a car crash six years previously. A pal at the bookshop, Félix (Pablo Pauly), himself a proficient dating app-user, often stays over. But Agathe hasn't had sex with anyone for two years. 'What are you waiting for? Mark Darcy?' Félix asks her. 'I'm not into Uber sex, I don't do digital, I don't want to 'like' guys,' Agathe retorts. She's more a Jane Austen fan, diagnosing herself as Anne Elliot in Persuasion, 'an old maid who has wilted like a flower in need of water', while Félix is Henry Crawford in Mansfield Park, 'a liar and seducer'. In short, she is not living in the right century, she confesses. Happily, thanks to Félix's support, she wins a fortnight's stay at a writer's retreat, the Jane Austen Writers' Residency, run by the author's descendants in a grand English country house (think Chawton but swisher). Meeting her off the ferry is Oliver (Charlie Anson), Austen's handsome, haughty great-great-great-grand nephew, a Darcy indeed (in this first meeting, Anson blatantly channels Hugh Grant, but later eases up on the homage). Agathe, sick with nerves, vomits on his shoes and slags him off on the phone in his earshot, not realising he understands every word. Nevertheless, maybe he's the one? But her amorous friend Félix rolls up unexpectedly too, in a typically British black cab. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe Jane Austen Wrecked My Life indulgently grants Agathe the full Jane Austen experience: not just the stately home and magnificent park but a full dress, candlelit regency ball, corsets and lace in her ultimate seduction. Almost no attempt is made at credibility. Having seen so many British films delusively infatuated with French life, I've often longed for the reverse, and here it is. All the English people spontaneously speak excellent French. There's a marvellous night out in a local pub with ukulele-karaoke and darts. The countryside is spectacular. When Oliver's vintage sports car breaks down, he tells Agathe it is 20 miles to the nearest village. Actually, Jane Austen a gâché ma vie was filmed entirely in France, mainly at Château d'Hazeville in the Île-de-France, and it looks totally, gorgeously Gallic, down to the wallpaper and the window catches. It's a charming production, with its repeated use of Schubert and its lovely closing cameo, and Rutherford is enchanting. The moral, that Agathe must discover herself as a writer first before finding romantic fulfilment, is impeccable if banal. But what it shows most, perhaps quite inadvertently, is the lengths we must now go to in a bid to recover the very possibility of credible romcom. Swipe left, I'm afraid. 'Jane Austen Wrecked My Life' is in cinemas on 13 June [See also: We are all Mrs Dalloway now] Related
