COOL REVIEW: Simon Amstell – Do Nothing

December 5, 2010

1

…I have a bit of a thing for Simon Amstell. And I’m not ashamed. Before this gets mis-construde, it’s not sexual. In fact, far from it. It’s almost certainly to do with something we have in common. That is, I suspect, similar upbringings (jewish, bonkers mothers, laid-back to near horizontal dads etc) and in our […]

COOL: Mike Leigh

November 18, 2010

Mike Leigh is easy. That’s why we like him. Love, death, family, warmth, humour – are indeed the fabric of everyday life and the nuts and bolts of his award-winning films, best served to a family bunched together on a three-seater sofa after a blazing row. Leigh makes films for humans, meaningful because they are […]

There are so many ways to piss off the british public… There’s taking part in a reality show,  setting fire to something older than 1900, chucking a cat in a bin when no-one’s looking, or if you’re aiming for Bleakley-esq hate, appearing on every TV show in existence.

Should all hen parties have a stripper? Discuss. Last weekend’s maid of honour didn’t seem to think so. There’s no denying the excitement a stripper can add to a hen do. After a day sipping champagne and nibbling on cake, the  sudden presence of a male sends women into a right frenzy. The robe comes […]

UNCOOL: Do you have Couplephobia?

October 20, 2010

It sounds fairly self-explanatory but Couplephobia is more complex than one would think. A recent study of friendship groups shows a two friend drop-off when one  group member couples up. In even simpler terms, if you’re part of a crew and you fall in love, you’re probably going to lose two of your closest mates. […]

UNCOOL: 10 texts that mean … ‘I can’t be arsed with you anymore’

Apparently, women read too much into blokes’ text messages. Such is the murky space between pressing ‘send’ and ‘1 message received’. In most cases, there’s little else to go on when it comes to guys. So for the benefit of all womankind, here are 10 text messages that definitely do NOT require any decoding. In fact, they don’t even […]
