COOL: Life Drawing (where cock meets hen)

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?

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’.

UNCOOL: Dying at your desk

Where more depressing to die than at the office? US series Mad Men sure does give with one hand and takes away with the other… How many of Don Draper’s secretaries have asked him if he’s going to the toilet? How many have called his daughter chubby? How many have been referred to by Cooper […]

COOL: Hed to toe in Kandi

You..mean..wearing..headphones…with a..dress..is…cool? YESH???!!! So what’s on offer? Basically, everything. No, really, everything. Maybe not funeral attire or the outfit of corporate dreams but quite literally anything else. The entire collection’s been designed to make you stand out from the crowd so you can be the one to say “Oh this! I think it was limited […]

COOL: Grandma’s House

I keep meeting people who tell me they haven’t seen Simon Amstell’s new BBC2 sitcom, Grandma’s House, yet. That’s probably because I ask everyone I meet. Say what you like about Amstell; he’s an acerbic, self-obsessed recluse who cheers himself up about having a nose shaped like a penis (his words) by shooting articulate bullets […]
