I’m going to go out on a hirsute limb here by saying that real gentlemen have body hair. Sure, it mightn’t be very metrosexual of me to state, however, sometimes I wonder when grooming will ever be darling enough. If a Brazilian wax isn’t extreme enough for you ladies, then how about doing it while [...]

The theatre seems to be one of the last remaining bastions of good behaviour, although, many still seem to get it wrong. Have you had to endure Hamlet? Yes, well imagine it with someone seated beside you using their mobile phone to text all and sundry about how bored they are. It’s perhaps one of [...]

London’s Bethnal Green and I share somewhat of a checkered history. Once, my mobile phone was stolen from within the breast pocket as it hung over my chair while I no doubt held up the bar at some seedy dive bar. The same week, my iPod was stolen from the pocket of my overcoat while an [...]

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. How the cigarette smell leaves the shoes remains a mystery, [...]

We’re big enthusiasts of the recent resurgence of arts and crafts in our largely digital world—dare we say, a renaissance even—and this recent trend of all things handcrafted continues to evolve into new mediums. William Morris (as in the textile designer, writer and bearded wonder and not the talent agent) would be so proud. For [...]

As a child, when my parents would go out for the evening and I was entrusted to a babysitter, little did they know that I would terrorise my au pairs by eating leaves of notepads, leading them to believe that I was some kind of human paper shredder, thus ensuring their suspicious and immediate unavailability. [...]

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 [...]
