Remember the scene in Dumbo when our elephantine hero is getting jostled, judged and jived by a gaggle of too-cool-for-school crows? Well, that my friends, is London Fashion Week. For one week of every year, London is swooped upon by a gaggle of fashion’s finest crows. Everywhere you look there is what Dylan Thomas would [...]

This morning I was greeted by an email from eBay. Apparently, I could get treated like a princess with amazing deals on purses, netbooks, luxury watches, women’s trainers, baby clothing, engagement rings, undies, lego and a disney bathrobe and slipper set.

Swithun: In other waking-up-at-7am-with-a-hangover news, one of my friends informed me yesterday she’s buying me a copy of The Handmaid’s Tale because she got sperm on the one I lent her.
Me: Atwood would be proud.

So, according to the Guardian website, John Nettles is going to be replaced on Midsomer Murders. According to the photo they posted, it appears that he will be replaced by David Cameron.
I can’t wait to see what Cameron makes of the goings-on in Badger’s Drift. I’m pretty sure murder is pretty high up on his [...]
Here’s the latest collaboration with narcsville for Leeds Guide
Listen, okay. I don’t particularly mind if people want to dress like munitions workers or early period Pentangle. And, you know, if looking like Robert Plant is your thing, or if you really do admire the sartorial leanings of mime artists then be my guest, knock yourself [...]
