Love? Life? Joy!
Now I’ll be honest. I like Boris Johnson. He is like a lovable floppy haired bear, isn’t he? Our darling London Mayor said some pretty radical statements recently, in his column for The Telegraph, about how people should stop picking on the super rich. WHAT? Super-rich people get verbal abuse? How ghastly. Nobody hates the super-rich purely because they are... Read the rest of this post...

There I was pawing through the pages of Wednesday’s Evening Standard, crammed on the tube, when I came across this delightful critique on ‘The Bear & the Hare’ John Lewis ad by ES raver Richard Godwin. And by delightful I mean absolutely DEVASTATING. Basically Godwin poaches the advert in a bloodbath of SADNESS and CYNICISM. Why don’t we just cancel Christmas... Read the rest of this post...

This may come a surprise to some people but I hate birthdays. HATE THEM. I have pretty much the same regard for birthdays as I do for Christmas – it’s really a load of bollocks. Always such high expectations followed by disappointment – a far cry from the M&S, glitter bomb that everyone says it is. You probably love birthdays.... Read the rest of this post...

I spotted her heading my way towards the bar with all the determination of a Salmon fish swimming upstream. I tried to look for an escape but it was too late. I was cornered and she was moving in like a hungry mantis to the place I (ironically) had come to drown my sorrows and forget. But no sooner had... Read the rest of this post...

Photo via The sun is shining. La la la… Life can be so wonderful can’t it? La la la WHEN YOU DON’T LOOK AT THE NEWS. ‘Whatever you do, DON’T turn on the telly’ my mate exclaimed, appearing in the kitchen as I groggily brewed a cup tea Sunday morning. ‘What? Why?’ I said. Only when someone says don’t... Read the rest of this post...

1. Unruly children in tightly confined spaces. Walking around the city in the heat of summer break is probably the best contraceptive you can get. I was on the tube and this kid was in the middle of a Pomm Bear massacre. As I sat down there was a *crunch*. I shuffle. Yup – definitely got Pomm Bear stuck to... Read the rest of this post...

So I previously wrote a blog about Prowlers (click here to read part one). Just to recap, I defined a ‘Prowler’ as a person who has their sights set on your partner. This week I am going to talk about what to do if YOU are MISTAKEN for a Prowler. Now nobody likes being disliked. I certainly don’t. In fact,... Read the rest of this post...

The other day I was doing some work in one of those coffee joints where everyone shares tables – I mean you can’t get much more cosmo than that. The creatives, student’s, musos, pensioners and wanderers all bunged together seeking warmth and caffeine. I nabbed a brilliant cosy corner where there was even a potted plant on my table. How...

I am the first to admit that I have this very romanticized image of London-living in my mind. Ooo I’m like London’s Carry Bradshaw. Laaaa I am sooo cosmo with my soya latte and take away cup right now. Ahhh chante… what an elegant arrangement of flowers in front of this tudor looking building – INSTAGRAM!!! I am turning into...

I spent pretty much most of New Year’s day chundering my guts up. ‘Same as every year then’ said one of my mates a few days later, as I hopelessly clung to my laptop praying the dongle would hold out long enough to have a decent Facebook chat. ‘No, you don’t understand. I’m fighting for survival here!!! Hello? HELLLOOOO??’ But... Read the rest of this post...
