Today I revolted many people on Twitter by announcing one of my worst habits: picking off peeling, sunburnt skin and eating it. It provoked the kind of reaction only before seen in Egypt, Libya, and when you think of Susan Boyle naked: I am being persecuted for my honesty. So here’s your chance to ‘fess [...]

Le French Observations

Do you know what eight hours in a car, two hours on a ferry and then another three hours in the car does to your backside? By the time I climbed out of my Mondeo after driving back from Western France after this arduous journey, my bumcheeks were so numb I could swear they were [...]

You very rarely see Nike reviewing Adidas’ products, and exclaiming how good they are. Similarly, you’ll never find celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke pointing at someone else’s barnet and going ‘Wow, innit great!’, or words to that effect. It’s a competitive market out there, you see, and things such as this – although quite nice – [...]
Ooh, I’d love one.

Ugh, you’re so British. Stop whining that you didn’t get any tickets for the Olympics. You knew when you applied that there was a chance you wouldn’t get anything. You don’t complain to Camelot when you miss out on the Lotto jackpot each week, do you? If moaning was an Olympic sport we’d be guaranteed [...]

So, what’s the big news of the day? Is it the Epsom Derby? Perhaps the ongoing war against Libya? Stuff that for a game of soldiers (LOL). Wayne Rooney’s had a hair transplant.
