This is a fascinating article from the Observer. Geraldine Bedell argues that despite women having more choices than ever before, they’re not as happy as they should be. It’s actually the sheer scale of choice that’s the problem. We’ve lost sight of how to be happy because we’re always worrying about the alternatives we didn’t…

That’s my nickname at work. Ever since I noticed a few extra hairs in the plughole at the age of 23, I’ve suffered the slow decline of my once thick and lustrous mane. I don’t really care anymore, especially since I’m married and don’t have to worry about meeting women. My wife reckons I look…

If always had a soft spot for Morrissey. I like the way he’s never really changed all these years, he’s always had this endearing mix of searing honesty and, well, daftness. Many of his songs show a real insight into people’s lives. ‘Hold on to Your Friends’ is a prime example and has never been…
