Today is my third favourite day of the year; behind only 1) my birthday and 2) Christmas Day. IT’S CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY! It wasn’t that long ago that the Christmas jumper was the gift Aunt Patricia got you, you gritted your teeth, got through the day wearing it and then thanked the man above that you … Continue reading
December 17th 2015 was a day many will consider Christmas came early with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Ten years since Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) was released, and I think I’m one of the only people who didn’t go to a midnight release! But what do you get an … Continue reading
“It’s Chriiiisssssttttmmmmmmmmaaaaaaas!” The undeniable screech made famous by Noddy Holder.

If there’s one thing which really gets me into the Christmas spirit before the big day actually arrives, it’s receiving the first Christmas card of the year. From the simple to the stylish.

“Everyone has one person in their life that no matter what they do, how much shit they put you through, or whatever, they will still always care about them; you’re that one person for me.” Congratulations.

It’s 5pm Saturday evening. You’ve just walked through your front door for the last time after three trips from the car to the kitchen balancing your keys, mobile and four carrier bags in each hand. The first trip saw you drop your keys and the second saw a bag split. This time you’ve successfully navigated … Continue reading
Last night, I accomplished something which was six years in the making. Last night, I accomplished something which I never thought I’d have the courage to actually do. Leading up to last night, I’d never felt so low, so isolated. But in fact, I was never alone. I was surrounded by a number of people, … Continue reading
Agony aunts and advice columns. Without a doubt some of the most insightful snippets a newspaper or internet article could ever produce. I think it’s fair to say, unfortunately, #DearRich won’t be in a national publication just yet. Dear Rich, Recently I’ve fallen for someone who, quite clearly, doesn’t feel the same about me. Occasionally they will … Continue reading
