COOL: The best Electrician’s website (in the world?)

September 24, 2013

1

In your mind, picture a typical Electrician – and you could be forgiven for conjuring the image of a fairly standard person. An in-out kinda guy , professional , keeps himself to himself. An old valve radio expert with a basic website made through gritted teeth due to a penchant for the Yellow Pages. A guy who’d […]

UNCOOL: Linking your running app to Facebook

August 21, 2013

We all like a bit of recognition for hard work… For example, raising money for charity – that’s GREAT! Everyone should know about that. Or, finally getting the job you deserve after years and years climbing the shit-stained ranks. I can absollllllutely understand why anyone would feel the urge to get up on a rooftop […]

What I’m about to tell you is embarrassing. However, from now, at least it’ll be easier, through the age old test of whether people will look me in the eye, to decipher who reads this blog and who doesn’t.  Basically – a month ago, I had a bad tum-tum after devouring almost 100% of the […]

UNCOOL: small plates

For the love of elbow room, I can’t do this anymore. If I walk into one more distressed-wood-furnished, naked-lightbulbed, glass-tumblered, formica-loving concept restaurant and walk out hungrier than when I entered, I’m going to move back to Finchley. Because in Finchley everything is served on big plates. Honestly, they’re huge. But in the capital’s gentrified […]

Lobster mac and cheese…. Sounds rutterz – but is it? Well, yes and no. I mean, if you’re not a fan of fishy tasting fish then you probably won’t climax over the signature dish at Mr Buckley’s. However, if you’re an omega 5 fiend like me – I think you’ll definitely appreciate the sentiment. And […]

UNCOOL: Homesickness (SPOILER: it’s totally curable)

June 6, 2013

This morning, as I read the BBC’s piece on footballer Jesus Navas and how he’s struggled for years with homesickness, I was transported back to a place I’d completely forgotten about. Perhaps, rather, locked away. Suddenly – I was 8 again. It was Monday morning at school. Emma, my best bud, was driven to distraction […]

UNCOOL: plucking a grey hair from a strange woman’s chin

Journalist & Author Katy Regan regales us with an #UNCOOL tale of how one man  destroyed  a perfectly sunny day. I have always been proud of my status as ‘non-high-maintenance-chick’. I am a five secs in the shower and out, kind of girl; I do my mascara on the toilet; I think grey roots make […]

I would eat sushi off a shit stained floor. I would. And, I wager, so would lots of sushi lovers. Or at least I hope they would. What often does it for me is the juxtaposition of elegant, delicately handcrafted sushi served in sinister surroundings. A basement with a dodgy lightbulb. The smell of rice […]

‘I LOVE YOU!!!!!’ shouted my boyfriend, across the table on Friday night. ‘Aw, I love you too babes!!’ I shouted back, picking my nose, focused on my menu. Then I looked up, and realised … he wasn’t talking to me. He was talking to the bottom of our waitress, Nadia. Yeah, so on Friday night, […]
