Had Ernest Hemingway been alive today and penning a tome in between catching pigeons on the rooftops of Paris and drinking himself to death, maybe he’d notice that there was something different about his Moleskine. Then again, myopia and alcoholism do go hand in hand, so perhaps he’d mistake an embedded Lego brick for braille. [...]

Short and sweet, here are the pressing issues (well, some of them) for your Agony Uncle this week. Oh, and if you like these Levi’s shorts, you can buy them here from ASOS. Would it be frowned upon by potential employers if they see your application was sent to their inboxes late at night? By late I [...]

So you’ve racked up another year—congratulations. Birthdays are cause for celebration and if you haven’t consumed the greater part of a gallon of champagne, you’re not doing it right. If there’s one day you shouldn’t be wasting time on Facebook, your birthday is one (days of elective surgery and emergency circumcisions are others). While you [...]

When you think of handcrafted men’s footwear, you’d be forgiven for immediately thinking of bespectacled cobbler in a gingham shirt crouched over a table in Florence, sipping an espresso and inhaling the greater part of a packet of cigarettes as he toils over a pair of brogue derbies.

Short and sweet, here are the pressing issues (well, some of them) for your Agony Uncle this week. Oh, and if you like these shorts, you can buy them here from ASOS. Can I wear my shirt untucked with a tie for a presentation? Mo, Twitter Untucked shirts are fine when in informal settings, however, when giving [...]

It’s the day when sales of booze and soda bulbs in regional centres spike (although we cannot attest to whether they’re being used in the creation of pavlovas); and that’s just the feral folk making their way to the Rainbow Serpent Festival. Australia Day: the celebration of our nation’s European heritage and for most, a [...]

In an age of digital gift giving, sending an electronic gift has the ability to feel intangible and impersonal—kinda of like a visit to the proctologist without the aid of at least a water-based lubricant. An email or a gift voucher code just doesn’t have the same cachet or mystique of a gift-wrapped box topped [...]

Short and sweet, here are the pressing issues (well, some of them) for your Agony Uncle this week. Oh, and if you like these shorts, you can buy them here from ASOS. How can I cross dress without people knowing? Kyle, Twitter Use a brand new razor, dress for your body shape and leave the [...]
