Everyone’s heard the same old formulaic pick-up lines: “Do you have any <Insert nationality here> in you?” “No” “Would you like some?” Foul. Perhaps what is even more repugnant is that those horrible lines have worked on others before? I don’t want to imagine that kind of person who would accept such a proposition. Not [...]

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. What do you say when someone says you’re good-looking? Karen, Twitter You say thank you .. then find a dark corner to make out with [...]

They say everything old is new again, and if that’s indeed the case, then I’m feeling very new. Or fresh. Or new. You see, I’ve decided to try a little social experiment where everything that would normally be referred to as ‘fresh’ is actually ‘new’. New bread, new fruit, a new breeze. You get the [...]

Dear Agony Uncle, I find the Christmas season to be quite awkward. I’m invited to numerous functions with colleagues; most of whom are vapid, none of whom I particularly like nor want to spread any good cheer with. Given that non-attendance is frowned upon, what excuses can I use to avoid being trapped with drunken [...]

If you’ve ever watched Adaptation, you’ll know that it’s based influenced by Susan Orlean’s The Orchid Thief. Rather it’s heavily inspired by The Orchid Thief, which is the whole point of the narrative. If you haven’t seen it and this makes about as much sense as genitals on a toaster, then get thyself to a video [...]

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. Recently, a friend and I were dining at a trendy pizza restaurant in Paddington. When the pizza was served I immediately reached for my knife [...]
