Slice XC-Xpress: Parklife’s Real Main Stage

What. A. Day. On Sunday 15th June, we didn’t just take Slicers to Parklife in Manchester, we became the pre-party. The Slice XC-Xpress - the UK’s first ever open-top rave bus - took three unforgettable trips to drop festival goers at Parklife, where Charli XCX was headlining (see what we did there? 😉). Let’s just say: our Slicers energy hit main-stage levels before anyone even stepped through the gates. **The Setup** Picture it: a neon-bright open-top double-decker bus (green? yellow? The Slicer debate still going strong), decked out with a full sound system, unlimited free drinks, live DJ sets, and a moving dancefloor that had Manchester staring. Starting from St John’s (next to Aviva Studios), our party-on-wheels rolled through the city with full festival vibes on board, picking up surprise superstar DJs along the way. Casual. **The Sets** We kicked things off hard with Habitat Collective - one of Manchester’s hottest club crews. DJ’s Amber Rose and AK Gramm brought the day party energy early. Beats, bass, and people dancing like it’s already midnight. Trip two? Total chaos (in the best way). UK dance legends N-Trance performed live with the iconic anthem Set You Free. People lost their minds. And the insanely talented Maddie Penfold hopped in on sax and turned it into a full-on moment! Hands in the air. Drinks in the air. Everything in the air. And for the grand finale? Tom Zanetti. Yep. Double-platinum selling, party-starting legend. With bangers Darlin’ and You Want Me, and his signature chaos energy, the final trip became its own headline act on wheels. People were raving out of their seats. Even a couple of police officers cracked a few moves. Iconic. **The Vibe** Electric. Unfiltered. Unreal. It was one giant, rolling rave tearing through Manchester, beats shaking the streets, hands in the air, champagne spraying. People filmed from balconies. Bus stops turned into dance floors. Strangers stared in disbelief, like “WTF is going on?!” It was giving full main stage energy from start to finish. Want a taste of the chaos? Head to our [socials](https://www.instagram.com/p/DK954xZocEm/?img_index=1) to see it all for yourself. **What’s Next?** We're still riding the high and rewatching videos on repeat (plus recovering our voices). Massive shoutout to every single Slicer who showed up, brought the energy and made it an experience we’ll never forget. Want more of this? You know we're always thinking up new ways to give our customers a slice of the action, so stay tuned for more surprises. Until next time… 💚💥

April: London Marathon has Entered the Chat

The sun is semi-committed, the rosé’s been uncorked, and half of London has mysteriously joined Strava overnight. Yep - the London Marathon is about to happen, and suddenly running is a lifestyle, not just a sport. But let’s get one thing clear: this isn’t just a race. It’s a national event. A spectator sport. A full-city serotonin boost. A very public excuse to stand on a pavement, scream encouragement at strangers, and then reward yourself with four pastries as if you just ran 26.2 miles. **What Actually Happens on Marathon Weekend?** Marathon Day in the UK is for: * Narrating like you’re a BBC commentator, even though you haven’t run since you were 12. * Making signs that say things like: You thought this was hard? Try online dating. * Becoming irrationally emotionally invested in a stranger in neon shorts who you will never, ever see again. * Taking one blurry photo of feet mid-stride and posting it with: LONDON 💙. * Swearing you’ll run next year and then ghosting that idea by Monday. * Getting day-drunk on a Sunday. * Still thinking about that guy who looked like he was going to cry at Mile 22 and wondering if he’s okay now. * Shouting “You’ve got this” to strangers as if you’re their personal coach and childhood bestie rolled into one. And then… Post-Marathon: By Monday, every office kitchen and WhatsApp group is full of: * “My cousin’s ex ran it - did it in sub-four hours!” * “Honestly, I think I could do it next year.” (But you won’t) * “My legs are sore and I didn’t even run.” Everyone’s a little sore, a little inspired, and deep into a Google spiral of “easy 5k training plans.” **Honestly? It’s Kind of Beautiful** For one day, a massive, often-chaotic city becomes one big support system. It’s about effort over ego. Grit over glam. People running for something bigger than themselves - for charities, in memory of loved ones, or simply to prove they can. So this April, whether you’re running, cheering, or just vibing: soak it all in. The noise. The emotion. Some guy running in a full rhino suit. The big weird beautiful energy of a city showing up!

BAE-pril Fools: The Truth About BAE-SIM

Alright, we admit it… BAE-SIM wasn’t real! We may have led you to believe you’d found the ultimate digital soulmate - one who hypes you up, flirts outrageously, or drops deep, existential musings on command. Maybe you even thought, "Finally! Someone who actually texts back!" But yeah… BAE-SIM was just a tiny little April Fools’ stunt. No AI, no emotional algorithms - just Hank from accounts and the team, juggling fake flirty banter between bites of a sausage roll. **What really happened?** We hyped up BAE-SIM, the ultimate digital companion - always available, never ghosting, and completely tailored to your vibe. You could pick from DEEP BAE, FLIRT BAE, HYPE BAE, or LOL BAE, each one promising to fill the void left by actual human relationships. And some of you? You really went all in. The way some of you confessed your deepest thoughts to DEEP BAE? The thirst levels for FLIRT BAE? The sheer chaos of your LOL BAE convos? Honestly, iconic. **So, what now?** Since your virtual BAE won’t be sliding into your DMs, how about inviting your real-life BAE, BOO, or BESTIE to Slice instead? You’ll both get £15 cashback when you refer a friend - because while BAE-SIM was a joke, free money is very, very real. Oh, and keep those screenshots coming - the more unhinged, the better! We’ve seen some of them, and we need to share the best ones. **Did you get your slice of BAE action?** Join the community to check out the most hilarious messages from BAE-SIM, and drop your own for a chance to be featured! 🍕😈

Ditch the Sofa, Embrace the Sunshine: Easy Ways to Get Active This Spring

Winter? Bye-bye. The sun’s making more of an appearance, the days are stretching longer, and we’re finally getting a break from piling on endless layers (well, most of the time). While we might not be tossing the puffer jacket just yet, it’s definitely time to start embracing the outdoors again. Whether you're looking to level up your fitness game, try something new, or just soak up the fresh air, Spring is the perfect excuse to shake off the winter blues. We caught up with some of the team to find out how they’re embracing the sunny vibes and getting active outdoors: **George, Customer Experience Manager** The best part about the weather improving is finally being able to get outside again! For me, that means focusing on my cut (I'm a big gym fan), so losing some weight, getting my steps up, and adding more cardio. Now that the sun is making an appearance, I can do most of it outdoors (well, hopefully). I’m excited to bring back my morning walks and add in some bike rides to boost my cardio. And with the days getting longer and lighter, I can even add in some evening walks with my girlfriend, and head to the beach. If I promise her ice cream, I can get her out of the house! **Adrian, Head of Engineering** I’m a mountain biker, but biking in the UK during winter is... an adventure. Imagine wrapping up in trash bags, riding through trails turned into mud swamps, sliding sideways down hills, and being covered in dirt so caked on that it’s practically part of you. But now, Spring is here! The trails are firming up, the evenings are longer, and biking is actually fun again. The days of battling mud are nearly over - just in time for me to forgive those ‘gravel’ bikes. Almost. **Cameron, Product Designer** I just moved to London from New Zealand, so I’m getting to know the city while also trying to figure out how to dress for this unpredictable weather! To get my bearings, I’ve started running around the commons in Southwest London - mostly to explore but also to make sure I don’t end up in the pub every night. I’m also keen to try touch rugby and padel, which I only recently found out is not a kitchen utensil! Both seem like a fun way to meet people, stay active and if nothing else justify a few extra pints. **Get Outside This Spring: Top Tips to Get Moving** Now that the sun is shining, let’s talk about how to make the most of it. Forget about those Winter excuses - Spring is here and it’s time to get moving. Here are your top tips to dive into some outdoor action: **📱 Download Fitness Apps.** Tracking your progress = instant motivation. Apps like Strava, MyFitnessPal, and Nike Run Club help you log workouts, smash goals, and even flex your achievements (because who doesn’t love a shiny badge?). Plus, connecting with others on these apps makes staying active feel more like a community and less like a solo grind. **🏃‍♂️ Get the Right Gear.** No more excuses about not having the “right” stuff. Treat yourself to some new gear - whether that’s a killer pair of trainers or an outfit that’ll make you feel unstoppable. If you look good, you feel good, and you’ll be ready to crush that walk, run, or bike ride. Trust us. **🎶 Create a Spring Playlist.** Nothing gets you in the mood to move like a great playlist. Create a Spring workout playlist with your favorite upbeat tunes that make you want to dance or run faster. Music can be a huge motivator, and it’ll help you push through those tougher moments. **🏸 Try Something New: Padel.** Okay, padel is the sport right now - if you haven’t heard of it yet, you will soon. Think tennis, but with walls, faster rallies, and way more social vibes. It’s easy to pick up, ridiculously fun, and a great way to meet new people. Whether you’re in it for the competition or just the post-match chat. **🌞 Join a Run Club or Parkrun.** Run clubs and Parkruns are having a moment - and we’re so here for it. Whether you’re chasing a PB, looking for a fun way to stay active, or just in it for the post-run coffee (or potential date 😜), these groups are the perfect way to get social while being active. Plus, there’s something about running in a group that makes it way more fun.

February Pop Culture Round-Up: Awards Season Takes Centre Stage

Awards season is officially in full swing! The red carpets are rolling out, acceptance speeches are being polished, and the internet is buzzing with reactions (and, of course, memes). With the Grammys kicking things off in style and the BAFTAs, Oscars, and BRITs just around the corner, this season is where film and music take centre stage. So, let’s dive into how the Grammys went down and what we’re looking forward to in the coming weeks. Plus, we got some insight from our team on their favourite artists and films of the year so far. **Grammys 2025: A Night of Highs, Lows and Viral Moments** The 67th Grammy Awards had its fair share of drama - with plenty of headline-making moments to keep us talking: * Beyoncé finally wins Album of the Year - after years of near-misses, Queen Bey broke the streak with Cowboy Carter, making history as she took country music to the top and finally secured the Grammy. * Chappell Roan steals the show – Not only did she light up the stage with her performance, but her speech advocating for better healthcare support for young artists became one of the night’s most talked-about moments. * Kanye and Bianca take the spotlight – Kanye West made headlines yet again, but this time, it was his wife (soon to be ex-wife) Bianca Censori’s nearly-naked red carpet look that had the internet in a frenzy. **What’s Next: BAFTAs, Oscars & BRITs – More Drama Incoming!** The Grammys brought chaos, but awards season isn’t done yet. Here’s what’s about to take over your timeline: 🔥 BAFTAs (Feb 16): The Brits love a good underdog story—will a surprise winner shake up the Oscars race? Plus, David Tennant is hosting, so expect some peak British humor. 🏆 Oscars (March 10): Hollywood’s biggest night is coming, and with Wicked and The Brutalist leading the buzz, we’re ready for red carpet looks, emotional speeches, and at least one internet-breaking moment. 🎤 BRIT Awards (March 1): Charli XCX is set to own the night, but the big moment? Sabrina Carpenter making history with her Global Success Award. Add in Jack Whitehall’s chaotic hosting, and you’ve got a recipe for viral gold. Which show are you most excited for? **We Asked Our Team: Who’s Dominating Music & Film This Year?** We couldn’t talk about pop culture without getting some thoughts from the team. Here’s what they had to say: **Jenna, Marketing Director** *The girls took over the Grammy’s this year and my favourite songs and artists of the last year were pretty much all featured there. II Most Wanted by Beyonce and Miley Cyrus, Everything from Chapell Roan’s album, Tortured Poets Department from Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter’s album, they’ve all been on repeat for months.* *Shout out to the Encanto soundtrack too - an absolute banger. My two year old twins are obsessed with the film. We don’t talk about Bruno, no no no.* *The TV show that I wanted to tell everyone to watch was Nobody Wants This on Netflix. So good! Ooh and Presumed Innocent on Apple TV with Jake Gyllenhaal.* **Stephen, Global CTO** *TV last year? Top-notch. Slow Horses was sharp, dark and funny, True Detective bought the drama, and Mr Bates vs The Post Office proved reality is wilder than fiction. Day of the Jackal had me hooked - could’ve easily binged that in one sitting.* *Films? Barely made it to the cinema, but Small Things Like These and The Zone of Interest were intense and worth it. Still need to watch Perfect Days and Kneecap asap before someone ruins them for me.* *Music? Found some gems - new to me, at least. Trombone Shorty bringing New Orleans vibes, Athletic Progression came to the party with danish hip hop and jazz, Lady Wray banging out the soul, gospel and R&B - all top-tier. Niall McNamee was unreal live - his debut album’s coming soon, so jump on the bandwagon early.* **Your Turn!** The pop culture world is buzzing, and we want to know what’s got YOU hooked! Whether it’s a killer album, a must-see movie, or an epic viral moment, we’re all ears. Drop your faves in the community and let’s get the convo started! What’s been your top pick this year? 👀
