Love? Life? Joy!
It Happened One Night, or so the story goes. Boy meets girl and rather than an instant infatuation, there’s an instant annoyance. But suddenly, one night, their eyes meet across a crowded room and bam! they’re in love. Well, that’s how it worked for Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, and that’s how it has happened ever since!

Chorizo Risotto (Or The Veggie Kind) With golden leaves now heaped up on the sides of the pavement it seems to me time to start cooking some Autumnal treats. And whilst I’m getting more and more excited for pumpkin season you can’t beat a good risotto to warm you up and fill your belly. This recipe includes chorizo, which I...

I think one of the hardest things in life is to watch someone achieve great things while you are still struggling to get a break. It was the middle of the week and I was slouched on my parent’s sofa having a good ol’ pity party in my PJs. I had been rejected from a job I had REALLY wanted,... Read the rest of this post...

Zach Braff is kinda talented, huh? A lot of TV actors come across as one trick ponies, but it turns out that Zach Braff isn’t just a great sitcom actor, he can also turn a pretty quick phrase and is a bit of a whiz behind the camera too. And he also worked on the film’s soundtrack. I’ve got a... Read the rest of this post...

So I have recently discovered the somewhat marmite world of online dating; some people are really open to trying it, others are very skeptical and are on creep alert at all times. Now I am of the opinion that yes, as with all social situations there will be some creepy people, but meeting creepy people can happen just as easily... Read the rest of this post...

London’s Hidden Gems Having moved to London only recently it has become somewhat a mission of mine to find awesome and unusual restaurants in central that don’t break my bank balance. And whilst even the trusty old chains seem to work out as quite a lot of £££’s for what you actually get I’m learning that there are some hidden... Read the rest of this post...

I’m something of a bookworm. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a big reader. I know, I’m a film buff, too, so I can’t have much of a social life, right? Well, no, but that’s not the point of this post! I guess I always loved losing myself in fantasy worlds. My parents bought me a lot... Read the rest of this post...

The other day I realised I was single. There I was, trawling through the supermarket when I approached the chilled dessert aisle. And that’s when I saw it. “Love Tub” I read aloud. “Neat!” – I exclaimed. A chocolate pudding pot for one! Oh. A chocolate pudding pot for one? A chocolate pudding pot for one. The more I said it...

Zombieland is many things – a buddy movie, a road movie, a bromance, a rom-zom-com (thanks, Edgar Wright, for penning that term after Shaun of the Dead), but most of all, it’s a proper comedy. Jesse Eisenberg is the geeky college kid trying to get home to his parents after a zombie apocalypse kicks off. Along the way, he meets... Read the rest of this post...

So, a few weeks ago I took the morning off work for an appointment up in London. I promised my manager that I’d be back at the end of lunchtime. And if you know anything about me I always keep my promises. But as my luck would have it, things did not go as planned. (Image via) Firstly, my appointment... Read the rest of this post...
