Do you ever feel that a nip of whisky is the order of the day at 10am? Let’s face it: it’s Terrible Tuesday, we’re two weeks shy of Christmas and some of us did stupid things at the weekend, like revisiting our early-twenties—something to dull the pain is almost medicinal. Unfortunately not all of us [...]

There is no greater revenge than the self-satisfaction that comes from knowing that someone you detest is stupid. Have you ever stalked a former lover/friend/colleague/someone you dated’s social media presence only to get out your giant and virtual red pen and have a field day picking out their flaws? It’s like learning that they wear [...]

With only a handful of days until Christmas, you may already have started to receive cards. Yes, cards—those little missives of good cheer and a vague sense of guilt because you haven’t done anything about yours. Do you find it weird that the cards are from people you have seen only half an hour ago and say, [...]

So, its that time of year again. You can’t even make it into the office without being bombarded by over-the-top Christmas decorations and window displays or cheesy Christmas carols. Or both. And then there’s the dreaded office Christmas party. Even if you lucky enough to love your job and your colleagues, this single event is still [...]

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 do I ask my parents for an iPhone? Nicole, Twitter The old-fashioned way: Ask them individually and if one says no, then ask then [...]

Dear Agony Uncle, I found out entirely by accident that my husband urinates in sinks. He does it not only at home, but in other people’s homes as well. Afterwards, he rinses the sink with water from the faucet, so at least he’s making an effort at cleaning after himself. When I spoke to him [...]

Do you love your iPad a little too much? Do you take it to bed with you at night, supposedly to read but ending up clutching it protectively, much to the chagrin of your partner? Do you wonder what your iPad is doing when you’re not around? Get over it. It’s not a Tamagotchi, it’s [...]

Last night at a rooftop party, I was drinking beer and buying vintage clothes in the interest of charity. Perhaps not the most immediate correlation, however, I now know that I can look rather fetching in a women’s pair of Scanlan & Theodore trousers. Who would’ve thought? With my hawk-eyed vision finely attuned to seeking [...]

Dear Agony Uncle, I’m afraid I might be a hipster. How can I tell? Robert S. Dear Robert, I’m afraid I’m one of those who looks down upon hipsters. Those poor souls and their nonchalance to everything including rapidly approaching moving vehicles. So much so, that I thought it best that I go straight to [...]

Have you ever found yourself alone in a dive bar, head slumped over the sticky beer mat, crying into your martini to “I’ve Never Been to Me” by Charlene? Err … no, neither have we. Well, if you have you were doing it all wrong. Any discerning pantywaist knows that the ballad of drag queens [...]
