I recently had the misfortune of catching Salt on the TV. When it became obvious that Angelina Jolie’s CIA-agent-on-the-run wasn’t the most believable character – in part due to gravity defying lorry hopping stunts, but largely because halfway in she somehow dyes her peroxide blonde tresses black without turning them purple first – I turned […]

So, yesterday, the Sun ran a story about a 22-year-old woman who recently received a £4,800 boob job on the NHS. It was tastefully placed directly opposite a story on the NHS refusing to fund experimental treatment for a 3-year-old cancer patient, weirdly dubbed “cancer girl” by the newspaper. It was also charmingly titled “She’s […]

I’m not a fucking Stepford Wife Readers of this site are likely to be familiar with that taunting quasi-catcall: “cheer up love, it might never happen”, or one of its ‘hilarious’ variants. It’s happened to me a lot over the years, and until I started using social networking sites like Twitter, I thought it might […]

So, it’s been an absolute age since we’ve done a Cosmo takedown, mainly because we’re two weeks off our book deadline and all normal behaviour has ceased. I guess I was sort of hoping that I’d open Cosmo again after this short interlude and find it to be a pinnacle of right-on, funny, […]

Note: during the following I will endeavor to use as many euphemisms for female genitalia as my brain can conjure up. This is not through fear or distaste at saying ‘vagina’, but because if you use the same word again and again and again in an article it gets boring. Vagina. Vagina. Vagina. And one […]

Last year, my best friend from university moved to Singapore. It was a move that none of us were expecting: she had been raised in an Asian family, but in western Europe; she had been to university in London for the previous four years, and spoken about finding a job in the […]
