So the other day – DON’T ASK me why but I was looking at LOADED’s online website (YES I do feel it necessary to type LOADED entirely in upper case – it’s a word that feels like it should be yelled or something – LOADED!!!). In case you didn’t know (I certainly didn’t till a few days ago) LOADED is... Read the rest of this post...

This week I am going to be sharing my observations and views on COMMUTERS. They are one of the most fascinating sub-groups of human-beings I have ever encountered in my life. Ruthless, determined, brutal and relentless. At first I was rather excited about joining the working world, getting my morning coffee on the way to the station, trundling along with...

So there I was just casually minding my own business, watching some telly on a Saturday night when suddenly I heard a booming voice… ‘You got to be shitting me,’ my dad exclaimed as he clocked that Take Me Out was on. I beg your pardon. You got to be what-ing now? I thought. It was the last episode... Read the rest of this post...

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. Yes, me! The peace warrior that I am is engaged in CONSTANT CONFLICT... and I am not talking about my current altercation with my neighbours regarding my morning Cyndi Lauper singing I see your true colours... NO! I am talking about a vicious confrontation with (dum dum dum) my own body hair. I am talking about the battle of the FUZZ people. And it is Uuuuuur-Gaa-LY!

This week I seek to question: Why do people date other people who look like their ex? So, some smart ass is going to tell me: Maybe it’s because some people just have a ‘type’? Maybe it’s coincidence? Don’t patronize meeeee sir. I am absolutely, positively convinced there is more to it then what meets the eye. A while back,... Read the rest of this post...

So it occurred to me while watching New Girl the other day that I have a serious lack of Straight Guy Friends (SGFs) in my life. And I have to be honest at first I was rather offended at this sudden revelation. Why wouldn’t a straight guy want to be friends with me? I thought as I sat in my... Read the rest of this post...

I believe in power dressing. Gaga does it. Batman does it. Ivana Trump does it. If we take power dressing out of the pretentious prick arena of which it is commonly associated, its basic principles can actually have some pretty positive effects on the way we perform and conduct ourselves in our lives. I know this sounds wanky but hear... Read the rest of this post...

In an age where text messaging, Whatsapp and instant messenger are replacing the good old fashioned phone call I am finding it increasingly difficult to decipher the cryptic language of the dreaded text message. According to a study at UCLA up to 93% of communication is non-verbal. If this little nugget of trivia is true then I am afraid that... Read the rest of this post...

So this week I went into London for an impromptu catch up with my mother. I was looking forward to an exceedingly pleasant, sophisticated rendezvous in one of the world’s most dazzling cities with the woman who gave me the gift of life. However, as I stepped off my commuter train I suddenly realized that I had descended into a... Read the rest of this post...
