We all need advice, but not everyone is good at giving it. In fact, some people should have the equivalent of a restraining order taken out on them so they can’t ruin your life with bad advice. For example, on my very first day of school my mother said “don’t break a leg!” and that [...]
The fact that they contain so much fatty cheese to induce a heart attack? Wrong!
I read this rather interesting article on Yahoo News, where a pizza delivery guy actually saved the life of a customer when he began to suffer from a heart attack as he was waiting for his pizza delivery. Heart attacks are [...]
Who knows where the future of Great British television lies? Leg vein treatment documentaries? Or perhaps Blind Date will make a come back with the ever ginger Cilla bursting back on to our screens? Who knows. I don’t, that’s for sure. I barely watch it and when I do all I seem [...]
I woke in mad panic. I was hot, covered in an emulsion of sweat, and thinking (this is the articulate version, because actually if I typed what I was really thinking then you wouldn’t be able to read it) The house is on fire bloody hell bloody hell!

While it may be the capital of the UK, and considered by many to be the thriving epicentre of all things great and monetary and fashionable, some, in villages throughout the rest of the country, believe that London is [...]
My grandmother – Nonna, as we say in Italian – was a very wise woman. But she was also headstrong at the same time as being generous. There is a lot that I learned from my Nonna, about life and relationships, but mostly about cooking. Now that she has passed, I look back at the [...]
I’ve never really enjoyed having birthdays, and I’ve got worse with age. A birthday, to me, is not dissimilar to a particularly irritating varicose vein.
My main reason for not being bothered is this: is the birth day that special? A day filled with pain, misery and blood (not to mention all kinds of weird [...]
Black and white films are classic, aren’t they? They should be celebrated, lauded, and re-enacted by the new generation of actors and actresses.
