"    LONDON \u2014 It might be easy for you colonials to overlook, but Esquire has friends and cohorts in other nations as well, like Spain, or Russia, or the Philippines, or even right here, in Great Britain. Once a week or so we&amp;#039;ll be settling into this nook of our American counterparts&amp;#039; blog to report on the comings and goings of our (far-older) nation. Feel free to read on in a British accent (by which you really mean: &amp;quot;a crap English accent&amp;quot;). GOING BALLISTIC You&amp;#039;ve had your fair share of political flare-ups lately (yeh, we&amp;#039;re on to that Weiner guy over here, too, as well as Green Eggs and Ham), but at least they tend to have a bit of scale and fanfare. Some razzmatazz, even. An incident this week at the Labour Party (kind of like the Democrats but not as fashionable) Conference when well-known political blogger Iain Dale found himself wrestling a protester on the pavement, suggests the only time the British public become engaged in politics is when a humiliating video is put on YouTube.

How To Pull A Sickie to Play GTA V &amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;gt; DON&amp;#039;T DRESS LIKE A MIDDLE-AGED MINGEBAG We&amp;#039;re a day behind the U.S. with Breaking Bad episodes, but the fervor as we head towards the grand finale is no less intense. While it&amp;#039;s been a long time since we felt actively sorry for Walt, we&amp;#039;ll miss him nonetheless \u2014 not least for his undying commitment to Dad dressing. We&amp;#039;re not sure which stores the wardrobe department stocked up on for Walt&amp;#039;s clothing, but the show provides a stark and valuable lesson in how not to dress as we approach our middle years. Walt&amp;#039;s character arc may teach us how lies and greed will only end in pain, but his outfits are a no less-powerful an example of how to avoid being &amp;quot;that middle-aged guy&amp;quot; we swore never to become.
