Now that we’ve all had a few days to adjust back to whatever fresh hell we were drowning in before the world stood still for a bit last week, can we talk about Easter for a minute? I just spent 5 days in the English countryside with my future in-laws celebrating the resurrection of our lord jesus christ, […]

Last week a friend introduced me to First Dates… Why I wasn’t watching it before is a mystery. I think I heard about it and assumed it was scripted!? If there’s one thing that makes my chin twitch it’s actors playing awkward, nervous people looking for love. That’s what reality TV’s there for guys! And […]
Oliver Davy on how to avoid the beginning of year slump … If you buy into the collective malaise, January is a miserable time of year. Everyone’s fat and poor and ugly and the Christmas holidays already seem like a distant memory. Adding salt to the wound is the guff washing over social media like […]
Finally. Proof we weren’t imagining it… https://vine.co/v/hVYvJLih90P
Christ I love Masterchef. I just hope it never ends. Like I just hope Gregg doesn’t leave, but this latest series has seen less involvement from him. I just hope he hasn’t lost interest. How could he? Masterchef gets better ratings than the soaps! Plus, Monica is on better form than ever. I just hope […]
It’s been a BRILLIANT series. The COOLEST yet. And Howard should never have left – but here we are, hours away from the final in which Ruby, Kimberley and Frances will wrestle naked for the title. If only! Perhaps not the most exciting trio – that would have been Frances, Howard and Toby. Remember Toby? […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
