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. Is it polite or not to leave food on plate? Tanner, Twitter You should always eat what is elegantly sufficient. If you can’t fit in [...]

Soon enough I know that I’ll have a spotty teenager in the midst of my family unit whose temperament will be contaminated with puberty-ridden acerbity. How much fun. Although, I find that these situations are best tackled head on with full assault, so when the time comes, I’ll be ready for the onslaught of slammed doors and [...]

There comes a time in life when one just has to move on, and I’m not talking about skinny jeans and the axing of The Real Housewives of New York. When seeking a new job, the process can be a little daunting; what with the cover letters, Curriculum Vitae and the constant stream of indifferent [...]

For some, dressing sharply comes naturally, whereas for others, simply getting into something other than a pair of tracksuit pants can be quite a challenge. Fits, fabrics and pairing colours can seem like the most daunting of tasks, but there’s no shame in that and the new men’s online stylist, One Stop Stylist agrees. A lot of men [...]
