UNCOOL: The road I live on

October 19, 2011 by

I live in a mews with an electronic gate. The gate is operated by a buzzer, given to all residents who live within its confines. If you lose it, you have to pay the silly price of £50 for a new one. That’s pretty expensive to me. A few months ago, I needed to drive […]

COOL: Cartmel

What & Where is Cartmel? It’s a super twee village in Cumbria where everything looks and tastes unrealistically delicious. Even the mountains. The locals are friendly, the pubs are cosy, and the farmers don’t give a poo if you walk on their land. That’s right – Cartmel is the perfect place to chill. And eat […]

Dear, Gary (Ken) Barlow, Even though you are pretty much a million [love songs] times fitter than you used to be when you were blonde and invisible in Take That, …and after your long and mildly depressing break from the music industry you found the courage to come back [for good?] sexier, slimmer, COOLER, with […]

COOL: Johnny Robinson to win the X Factor

As we bade farewell to John Wilding last night [oy vey], we couldn’t help but grip hold of both chair-arms and let out a massive sigh of relief. What was WRONG with him for goulash’s sake? Smiling never gave anyone carpel tunnel syndrome. At the risk of sounding mean, he did have a nice-ish voice but… […]

COOL: Wise Words From The Wine Man [part 1.]

September 26, 2011 by

“Opulent,” “Seductive,” “Luscious!” Some of them foul and some of them appealing, yet all the above have been used to describe the occasionally baffling libation that is, wine. It’s easy to believe people are taking the Jean-Michel with all this overblown chat, but worth sticking in there because once you scratch beneath the surface, you’re […]
