Writer's Block sounds like it should be the name of a building on a university campus or a low-budget soap opera about aspiring novelists living on the same street, broadcast on Radio 4, at 1am. It should not be a condition or state of mind one finds oneself in when trying to produce something out... Continue Reading →

Eleven years ago (was it really eleven years ago? [yes, because it was 2005 and basic mathematics dictates that was eleven years ago from now, fucktard]), the people in charge of the Olympic and Paralympic Games gave the hosting honours of the then-prospective 2012 event to London. Being a teenager at the time and not... Continue Reading →

In general, I haven't been feel very well lately. My eating habits have been down, my digestion as felt rather sluggish, and my brain has been afflicted with an additional layer of self-uncertainty. As a result, this will probably end up being quite short due to the likeliness I'll need to sprint towards the toilet... Continue Reading →

Imagine, if you will, watching one of your favourite programmes that's just returned for a new season. Then imagine relating to a character's situation. Then, if you still can, wonder whether the title and setup of this piece are running on a formula used twice before. I don't usually do reviews for things at the... Continue Reading →

In fact, that very term has come to mean... Continue Reading →

And because we as a people don't like wasting our time with lengthy descriptions, we come up with portmanteaus to cut down on our words. It's why Brad and Angelina have to be Brangelina. It's why a... Continue Reading →

You wake up. You groan. You rub your eyes and try to wrap your head around the idea that time for resting is over. You have to continue. You have to pick up where you left off yesterday. You hope that yesterday's problems will lead to today's solutions, yet somehow you already know that today... Continue Reading →

Just as there are three little words that can brighten somebody's world, there are three little words that can be the harshest thing you could ever say to anyone: "I don't care".
