Love? Life? Joy!
So, I’ve got a bit of a situation here, and I’ve no idea how it’ll turn out. I want my personal relationships to bring me happiness. I want to have a successful, fulfilling career. But it seems that wanting both simultaneously is just too much to ask. You can’t have it all. This whole situation would be so much easier... Read the rest of this post...

Technology has made loads of things a lot easier – I can’t imagine completing my degree/doing my job/day-to-day life without the use of the internet. But some things have got a lot more complicated. Sometimes I think that being alive a hundred years ago was actually a lot easier than it is today. 100 Years Ago: Girl meets boy at... Read the rest of this post...

(This article was first published on the 7th May 2012) This is a first date story. For about eight months (after my ex-boyfriend and I broke up) I had accessorized my upside-down-smile face with this rather elegant (metaphorical) ‘F***k OFF I am mourning the death of my last relationship – I hate men’ sign. But one very ordinary day something... Read the rest of this post...

Westlife said it’s like flying without wings, Meatloaf said he’d do anything for it but Haddaway asked the question that I am now contemplating: What is love? I’ve always thought that being in love would be a really clear feeling, and thus I’ve never really felt it. I have no doubt loved and love a lot of things and people in...

There are two types of people in the world. One that will murder you to steal your food, medical supplies and survival tools in the case of a zombie apocalypse. And another that would front the resistance and stand on the frontline in the battle for human survival. The former is an ‘every-man-for-him/herself’ dude, [s]he will do anything, and I...

If I could give one bit of advice to anyone, it would be: go and talk to old people. Why? Because they will be able to offer you more. Grandparents are just brilliant. I could listen to my nan and grandad all day because they truly have the best conversations. I genuinely think more interesting and meaningful stuff comes out... Read the rest of this post...

I recently got friend dumped. She was a friend of several years, who I could see being a bridesmaid at my (eventual) wedding. And although we no longer lived in the same city, we made it a point to keep in contact often. Which was why I was surprised to get a short and sudden message from her stating that...

It is with a little bit of sadness that I write this post, but last week I was dumped, simple as that and although I’m an avid fan of rom-coms and the empowering hails of Cher and Beyonce, I didn’t exactly follow the standard Bridget-esque routine (well, there was wine). After spending the day bonding over cats in Soho’s cat... Read the rest of this post...

What is love? …baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me no more…. Haddaway was on to something when he sang the mega dance floor filler ‘What Is Love?’ back in the 90s. But I still find myself asking this question now. As I chew on my pen. And stare at this computer screen. Blank. There are a million ways you... Read the rest of this post...

Recently I found out about a website called Tube Crush. It’s a forum where people can send in pictures taken of hot guys on the tube. These pictures are then posted and people can rate and comment on them. A similar concept, the Facebook page Women Who Eat on Tubes caused outrage recently. So, should we be feeling the same...
