On Saturday night in early September three singletons met up on the East side of London for wine and a catch up. Now I don’t care what any one says but put a couple of single women in a room, give them wine, dim lighting and Maltesers and eventually THEY WILL start talking about men. It’s just science. The Bechdel... Read the rest of this post...

Over the past few weeks I’ve been trying to short list my top ten female characters in film. It started as kind of a fun game, but as I delved deeper into cinema’s archives I began to feel a bit depressed. Don’t get me wrong, there are some amazing, incredible performances by female actors out there, but when you cut... Read the rest of this post...

“If she’s amazing, she won’t be easy. If she’s easy, she won’t be amazing. If she’s worth it, you wont give up. If you give up, you’re not worthy. … Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.” – Bob Marley Sick of chumps putting you in the dumps? Tired of...

So I’m lying here like some kind of beached whale on the sofa, temperature sky high, my back fiercely sweating like a pork chop, my tummy is swollen and I’m majorly sorry for this over-share but I have what many medics refer to as ‘loose motions’.

So my mate and I were having coffee the other week trying to get on with some essay work and as usual we began talking about non-essay related topics. Her boyfriend was coming to visit and so she needed to pop into boots on the way home to get some wax strips. It was at that precise moment that I had the revelation that I am constantly at war.
