Aristotle once said, 'The Whole is Greater Than the Sum of its Parts'. When it comes to us humans, I am not sure I agree with the old guy. I think that is exactly what most of us are. The Sum of Our Parts. Take last night for example - there I am around 8.30pm, uncharacteristically knee-deep in dark chocolate mousse, that frankly has no right to be so disgustingly good. This brief orgy of joy MORE +
My Really Grumpy Movie Review.
As I get older I have a lot less tolerance for shit movies. Especially the ones which make women look stupid. I walked out of the movie 'Bad Moms' because life is short and I was not laughing. Other people tell me it is a funny movie and the fact that ‘A Bad Mom’s Christmas’ (same shit/different season) is on standby, suggests I may be in the minority. Whatever! I am just a little tired of MORE +
Why Your Smart Phone is Ruining Your Life
In my house, at least once a day, someone completely freaks out because they have LOST-THEIR-MOBILE-PHONE! You can smell the sheer panic as 2 minutes become 3. Where the hell is it? I don't understand. I literally just had it here. In my hand. And now it's GONE! Against the backdrop of escalating panic, the other members of the house try to help, limply lifting up cushions or glancing gormlessly MORE +
Four Things You Should (Probably) Know.
Is there anything more painfully, self-congratulatory than those annoying lists - '20 Things I Wish I Knew in My 20's' or '40 Things I learnt by the time I turned 40'. A small to medium part of me simply does-not-actually-care what they learnt or wish they knew and the rest of me honestly doesn't have that-much-time on my hands. So, sod twenty, thirty or even forty things you should probably MORE +
Money Can’t Buy You Happiness & Other Bullsh*t We Wish Was True.
People who say Money can't buy Happiness, have apparently never used Money. Seriously. Yes - that's me in the photo, on the left, trying to act casual whilst lounging on the back of a Superyacht - Say Super-What?! Occasionally life takes a turn for the ridiculous and if you are lucky enough to be on the back of that horse I say, Giddy-Up! Anyway - long story short. Despite the proclamations of MORE +
The Daily Mail Will Make You Stupid. Fact*.
The First Step is admitting you have a problem. If you are one of the 45.3 million people who in any given month read The Daily Mail online, then I regret to inform you – you do. I am only casting stones in the smug knowledge that I have recently cleared the rubble from my own backyard. Read it? I actually downloaded the app. Of an evening, I would happily scroll my way past the bikini-clad soap MORE +
What’s Does Your ‘Deal-Breaker’ Say About You?
Deal Breakers - We all have them. The one, two or several thousand things that, when it comes to relationships, we literally can-not-deal-with. According to my research there is some basic, 101 stuff, that breaks the deal right from the get go - bad personal hygiene, smoker, married, tight arse. A lot of you have stuff around feet and teeth so you would be well advised to sort that sh*t out. But MORE +
With Friends Like These – Is It Time To Give Some Of Them The Push?
It is often said that ‘We are the Average of the 5 People we Spend the Most Time with’ – in which case I am a bit of a nutcase with a cracking sense of humour and a slight-to-moderate drinking problem. Thing is, it is -kinda- true. You don’t need to do deep therapy to know, that the people you choose to surround yourself with, are going to have a profound effect on the type of person you MORE +
Why Husbands Are Annoying (& What You Can Do About It) – Part 2
Firstly, I must congratulate husbands everywhere for creating the sheer volume of subject matter that is justifying a Part. 2 post. A sequel no less, in honour of the things (mostly unknowingly), that these fine men in our lives do that drives us nearly out of our mind with annoyance. In the interest of not dragging this series on ad infinutum I will do my best to keep the remainder of them brief. MORE +
5 Questions You Should Never Ask (because you are better than that).
What do you do? - Whilst seemingly the most innocuous question of all there is merit in not making this the first question you ask. In fact The Minimalists go so far as to label this as 'life's most dangerous question' reminding us that the 'majority of the answers are boring' - do you really care if they are 'director of operations' or 'regional manager' or 'the senior vice president MORE +
