I’m wondering….I’m just curious….and perhaps slightly on edge…this post might divide people and that is not my intention. I sense a whiff of Premature EMATCHulation — ‘It’s coming home’ — for many people, it’s as if it has already ‘come’. The excitement and belief that England have already won the…

As a 14 year old adolescent, I never quite understood where I fitted in. Yeah, I’d play dead arm games (and would often be crowned the winner) as it was my way of showing how tough I could be. I learnt that the manliness badge was bestowed on those who…

I’ve literally hunted high and low. I seem to have misplaced the handbook. The instructions. The guide. You know what I mean, that book you are given soon after you are born. The one which details how to navigate life. I must have been given it at some point, right…

It’s Blue Monday today. The day where you will undoubtedly feel depressed and sad. Because it’s Blue. And….it’s a Monday. And because it’s cold outside. Unless you live in the Mediterranean. In which case, you might feel happy. Because it’s warm. And not actually that Blue at all. Or you…

The first time I saw this photo, I sniggered. Like mother, like daughter, right? The young girl, fag in hand and a nice slug of Pinot Noir to gulp down. Hilarious. She probably wears high heels too. Maybe she speaks like her mum? Perhaps she has similar mannerisms and responses…
