Short and sweet, here are the pressing issues (well, some of them) for your Agony Uncle this week.  Oh, and if you like these The Twelfth Letter leather shorts (and who doesn’t need a leather short?!), you can buy them here from ASOS. And this week ASOS is offering 20% off their merchandise. Even better! How can [...]

Ah, the written word. How it has inspired generations, started and ended wars, revolutions and coups; and got a lot of people into hot water. We’ve all read/seen Atonement, and learnt how just one little word beginning with ‘C‘ can change an entire individual’s life. Heck, it changed mine when I learnt to embrace it [...]

By virtue of reading I Do Believe I Came with a Hat, you should be a seasoned professional in all pursuits gentlemanly. However, for those who might be new into the fold, or those who’ve recently taken up an unseemly crack addiction and have left their politesse for the pipe, here’s a little refresher course. [...]

These days when you travel internationally, you can expect the full pat-down and gestapo-like interrogation just for carrying your favourite moisturiser and other essential grooming products—does liquor count?—in your carry-on luggage. The indignity! There’s nothing frisky about a frisking and the official conducting it is usually some sweaty, pie-eating heavy-breather who hasn’t ever been instructed [...]

Of course, we’d never endorse playing with your food, however, sometimes one can make exceptions. Artist-in-the-making, Alan Sailer shoots foodstuffs with a pellet gun, capturing the results using a camera that catches the explosion to the millionth of a second. His Flickr account shows his various experiments with blowing things up, and his self-deprecating commentary gives [...]

Monday is as good a day as any to start a diet, a new exercise regimen and give your liver a bit of a rest after a weekend of debauchery; yet how many of us make it through unscathed to say, lunchtime, remains to be seen. You might have had your low-fat, low-carbs, low-flavour smoothie [...]

This morning was one of those “I have nothing to wear”, “nothing’s clean”, “nothing’s ironed”,  ”I’m the size of a house” kind of mornings. Of course, these only happen when you’re in a hurry, have to vacate the premises to attend a slew of meetings and generally fret unnecessarily even before you’ve had caffeine. So rather than [...]

Sometimes being a gentleman of leisure has its stresses: Imagine my horror when I can’t find a bottle opener and I have to drink from a—gasp—screw-top bottle. Of course, I jest—I’m a gin man. That said, I do work hard and it’s evidenced by a twitchy eye brought about by a magnesium deficiency that initially [...]

If you’re anything like me, you’ll have the most incredible retention for the most uninteresting and uninspiring tidbits in life. We’re good people to have at a trivia night if you need to know which element is ‘B’ on the Periodic Table of Elements—it’s boron—or which was the fourth single to be released from the [...]

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. Is it bad etiquette to wear shades/sunglasses inside ? Presley, Twitter Do you have full vision? Are you welding? No? Take them off, douchebag. [...]
