Recently one of my favourite people has had a baby, which is very good news because now it is like there are two of her, only one is extremely cute and never points out that I’m being a twat. To celebrate, we all went to visit in Brighton to drink loads of prosecco and take selfies […]
The Buffy Binge – Xander Nearly Shags An Insect
Welcome, one and all, and Happy Buffy Day to you. For it was on this day, exactly twenty years ago, that we all first saw the glory that was the feminist icon of the Slayer. Except me, obviously, because I live in the UK. I saw it three years later, when it finally aired on […]
Time Of The Month – February 2017
Hello and welcome to a new series – a monthly round up of events. I’ve never been a big one for diaries, partly because, when I was 15 the boy I like found mine and read it out to everyone (if you’re reading this, fuck you Danny!) and partly because I’m a talker – I […]

Twelve Favourites From My Bookshelf
I don’t know how you organise your books – some people do it by colour, alphabetically, by category… I organise my books much more according to emotion and the rules of chaos. Most specifically, I have a shelf, which is high up in my bedroom, and reserved for favourites. The books people are not allowed […]
What To Do In Amsterdam?
I spend quite a lot of time in Amsterdam and I really love it there. The people are incredibly nice, the food and bar culture are great, the city is beautiful. If you’re thinking of booking a trip (and you’ve been able to find affordable accommodation…), you should! Here are some starter recommendations for you […]
Time Of The Month – January 2017

Doing Your Tax Return Isn’t That Bad
“Are you serious about this? Then get an accountant.” – Hilary Mantel’s top tip for writing. People really do wang on about doing their tax returns, especially in creative circles.
