The latest piece for The Leeds Guide
Forgive me if this fortnight’s column is a little garbled. You see, I’ve been living off nothing but red peppers and milk since, oh, about, God, I don’t even know anymore. I think The Beatles were back at number one. Wait, surely I can’t have been eating this filth [...]
How exciting! My second article for the Guardian has gone up on the music blog today.

Of course, word and space restrictions means that it has been cut down, so I thought I would give all you loyal Thumbettes the full version here.

This September, the Royal Mail brought out a new series of stamps celebrating the history of the Royal Navy uniform. Quite by coincidence, this September, designers at London Fashion Week transformed the catwalk in to a veritable gangplank of military chic.

On the back page of today’s Guardian you will find my Young Person’s Railcard photo and a little bit of waffle about why I buy the paper.

Remember Othello? Well, I have a feeling Iago may have finally escaped his torturers in Cyprus and come to work for an ad agency in Shoreditch. Right now he’s probably cycling to work on his fluorescent pink fixed gear bike, listening to Autechre on his iPod and wondering how he is going to bring down [...]
Here is a piece I wrote for Little White Lies:
Nell Frizzell pulls on her shiny shorts, wipes down her forehead and punches the air about The Expendables
You know what? Fuck irony. The Expendables is going to be amazing.
This is a film that will not only star Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Jason [...]

I stood less than 30cm away from one of the guns carried by the Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassins, yesterday.
The gun was part of the Imperial War Museum’s In Memoriam show, which is currently being taken down (so sorry, you’ve missed it), and I was there on behalf of The Women’s Library to ensure the safe [...]
Here is the latest piece of clothes waffle for The Leeds Guide
If you have any sense of common decency, or failing that a suceptibility to thrush, then don’t, for the love of sweet holy basil, wear a leather catsuit this season. Or leather shorts. Or leather trouers.
Chloe Sevigny is a liar and a fool. Angelina [...]
Obviously nobody told spray-tanned Scottish football rodent Alan Hansen that the recession is over, because Morrisons have just reported a 45% increase in half year profits. That’s a lot of own-brand fry ups in a can.
