If you’ve been consuming your fair share of Netflix over these past couple of months, then you’ll be pleased to know you can now get paid to.
There really couldn’t be many easier ways to earn yourself £300.
Whether you’ve been furloughed, working from home, or just found yourself with a little more time on your hands to spend inside your four walls than you’re usually used to, the majority of us have become well-aquatinted with Netflix series’ and films during lockdown amid the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and now you can put those key skills to good use, as one company is on the lookout for an official Loungewear Tester.
A Loungewear Tester that allows you to “Netflix-and-chill” whilst your at it, that is.
Loungewear brand Pour Moi is looking for dedicated applicants to help try out their joggers, pyjamas and hoodies to make sure they’re up to scratch as autumn weather sets in.

According to the job description, you’ll need to complete a series of ‘tasks’ in the loungewear.
These tasks include, but aren’t limited to, watching three episodes of your favourite TV show, enjoying a wine or hot chocolate on the sofa, making a cup of tea, and scrolling through social media on your phone for a minimum of 10 minutes.

All you’ll have to do then is give a comprehensive review of the loungewear garments you’ve tested.
You’ll be asked to provide details on how comfortable you found the pieces and whether or not you think any improvements could be made to them, and this feedback will then be fed through to Pour Moi’s design team so they can apply it to future garments.

Succesful applicants will be required to commit to 10 hours of loungewear wearing and completing the above tasks over a month period.

Pour Moi will then pay £300 for completing the tasks and for filling out a short summary questionnaire.
Michael Thomson – owner of Pour Moi – said: “We know that over the last few months many people have spent more time in loungewear than ever before, and because of this we’ve seen demand for comfies like joggers, pyjamas and hoodies skyrocket.
“With winter approaching, we know that our next season of loungewear is going to be incredibly in demand so we need to make sure it’s up to the task. This new role is really important to us as it will provide valuable feedback on our product and any improvements which could be made
“We’re excited to find the best person for the role so we can get started.”
Fancy sticking an application in then?

Tickets officially go on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester
Emily Sergeant
Tickets have now officially gone on sale for rare 70mm IMAX screenings of Dune: Part Three in Manchester.
Arriving on screens from 18 December and gearing up to be one of the most anticipated films of the year, Dune: Part Three – which is the third and final instalment in director Denis Villeneuve’s Dune franchise – will be screening in IMAX 70mm at Vue Manchester Printworks, one of only three venues to show it in this format nationwide.
There are only 40 other venues across the globe showing the film in IMAX 70mm, and Manchester is the only city outside of London to screen the blockbuster this way too.
Based on the novels of Frank Herbert and set nearly two decades after the previous film, Dune: Part Three features an ensemble cast of all-star names led by Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
Alongside them will be Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Anya Taylor-Joy, Rebecca Ferguson, Robert Pattinson, Charlotte Rampling, Javier Bardem, and Josh Brolin.
After seats for a special early screening of the film in IMAX sold out in less than 30 minutes last month, the IMAX 70mm showings – which officially went live today (20 October) – are expected to be snapped up fast by film fans in Manchester.
“A decade in the making, Denis Villeneuve’s epic Dune trilogy is reaching its dramatic conclusion this December,” explained Dean Cross, who is the Senior Screen Content Manager at Vue.
“As the only venue outside of London to be screening Dune: Part Three in IMAX 70mm, it’s a privilege for us to offer this unique way to experience the film.”
Dune: Part Three is coming to Vue Manchester Printworks on 18 December, and you can book your tickets here.

Free pints and live craft experiences coming to a Manchester pub for one night only
Daisy Jackson
A pop-up pub takeover is opening its doors in Manchester, where you can get your hands on a free pint as well as some amazing craft experiences.
The Uncommon Inn is being operated by premium Italian lager brand Poretti, who want to help us Brits break out of our daily routines.
Matt & Phreds on Tib Street will welcome The Uncommon Inn on Thursday 22 October, from 4pm to 8pm, giving visitors the chance to discover unusual creative skills and watch artisans at work, with a free pint in hand.
It comes after research commissioned by Poretti found that 61% of UK adults feel they are living on autopilot, while a quarter have not tried a new creative pursuit in five years or more.

The study also found that adults have an average of just 90 minutes of genuine personal time each day, with 58% spending that time watching television and 35% scrolling through social media.
Exhaustion and financial constraints came out as the main barriers preventing people from trying new things.
The Uncommon Inn has been designed to offer an alternative, bringing together a collective of specialist makers to showcase their skills in a familiar pub setting.
Visitors to the Manchester event can watch Giulio Miglietta embroidering personalised beer mats, using a vintage Singer sewing machine dating back to the early 1900s, alongside live hand-engraving and bespoke jewellery-style crafting using recycled silver.

Other demonstrations include 3D body-casting by sculptor Ami of Angelcasts and personalised, hand-engraved glassware from Leigh Calligraphy. Sabira of Sken Studios will also demonstrate how recycled silver can be turned into bespoke bottle openers.
Guests will be able to enjoy complimentary pints of Poretti while watching the makers at work.
Caitlin Maley, Senior Brand Manager at Poretti, said: “Modern life moves at an overwhelming pace, and it’s all too easy to fall into autopilot mode where routine replaces curiosity.
“We believe in celebrating intentional craft, rare skills, and authentic human connection – values that are at the core of our brewing heritage.
“We created The Uncommon Inn to turn an ordinary pub visit into an inspiring journey. By bringing together our Masters of Crafts, from chainstitch embroiderers to live engravers and musicians, we’re inviting pubgoers to slow down, pick up a new skill, and enjoy a pint crafted with genuine passion.”
The Uncommon Inn is at Matt & Phreds in Manchester on Thursday 22 October, from 4pm until 8pm.
