Now those poor Chilean miners have to try and sort out Plan B’s accent.

According to my new Cameron model for baby-naming – place conceived + flower + place born – I would be called…

Well, paint my legs and call me grandma, I’m a columnist! Those lovely, generous and wildly optimistic people over at Ideas Tap have made me their entertainment columnist!
I have never been so pleased, nervous and surprised.
Here is my latest column. You can read it in situ, as well as find out about all their amazing [...]
For just £4.70, you could hold the whole spectrum of mortality in your hand.
There’s nothing like some beef-stuffed rice pastry to put the spring in my sausage, if you know what I mean. Especially when it comes with a side order of oven chips and the recommendations of a horny chef.
And who can forget the [...]

Let’s see. Menu, cancel, start, stop, index, go to, jog, clear, up, down.

You’re right. That is Mickey Rourke penetrating Sylvester Stallone from behind. And yes, he is sporting a Nicole Appleton circa 2006 hairdo. And yes, Sly seems to have a fully erect penis for a forearm.
And do you know what? That’s why The Expendables is the best film you’ll see all year. In fact, The Expendables [...]

As adolescent fingers across the country fumble, not around someone’s bitterly confusing underwear, but through enveloped A-Level results, thoughts must inevitably turn to that king of the celebration/commiseration knees up, V Festival.
Falling as it does just days after the release of those pivotal summer exam results, V Festival was where I spent the third August [...]

Last night the lovely Rod Stanley, editor at Dazed and Confused, told his followers on Twitter that he was “So sick of the word ‘hipster’. Seems like it’s been ten years of endless articles sneering at young people interested in music, art, fashion, fun etc as ‘hipsters’, like that’s some sort of strange [...]
