Ahh, I love bands that aren’t well known. Especially when one of your friends finds their album in a charity shop for £1.99 and buys it for you. Which is exactly what happened when I got this CD. Maps are a Northampton-based band and We Can Create was their first studio album. One of the songs on [...]

Alright! Another episode of Grey’s. And what a week. This episode saw flashbacks of 3 of our favourite surgeons: Miranda Bailey, Richard Webber and Callie Torres. I thought Torres was a bit of a strange choice because she’s not as high profile as the other two, but it worked anyway. Check out 90s Bailey: Quite hilariously, she [...]

Last season, the Fitch twins had to share an episode. And if you all remember, a lot of the episode was dominated by Emily’s storyline, while Katie sort of sat in the background and was slightly neglected storyline-wise. Well this time, it’s a different story. Katie has her own episode, and boy does she have a [...]

I’m guessing quite a lot of people know who Placebo are… If you don’t, well I suggest you get your google on. No, that picture the right isn’t a form of strange, distorted pornography, it’s actually the album cover. Don’t know why they chose it though, you’ll have to ask them… There are some pretty disturbing photos [...]

Oh great, a Valentine’s episode! This must mean a lot of romance. But this is Grey’s, remember? Seems the only happy couples are MerDer and Calzona this week. Derek is finding his second week as Chief rather stressful, anyway. On with the categories… Surgery of the Week. Quite a few great surgeries this week, but I’m going to [...]

***WARNING: This post may contain spoilers.*** For those of you who don’t know Cook, you’re missing out. Possibly the best character of the 2nd generation of Skins, and this episode was dedicated entirely to him. At the start of the episode, we see him in a prison cell after attacking a randomer at the party from last week. [...]

To be honest, £23 does seem like a lot for a highlighter pen. No, I don’t mean a highlighter for hightlighting your key points, because that really would be extortionate. But after receiving one of these babies for Christmas, I wondered whether or not I would actually buy it myself, or whether I would just stick to [...]

Didja know that cheese is mildly addictive? It’s true. Cow’s milk contains small amounts of amounts of opiates that are specifically intended to create a bond between the calf and the cow; this is why some people ‘love’ milk so much. They are, in fact, a little bit addicted to it. When cheese is produced [...]

(Yes, I know Tuesday is usually Sopho’s day, but being 18 also means too much homework, which means friends do good deeds for each other once in a while…) Alright, so everyone loves Glee. Like, proper loves it. As in, can’t get enough of it. But really, is it worth all the hype? I understand that the singing is [...]

Kate Nash. Rhymes with mash, flash and ‘tache. In case you didn’t already know. I’m not sure that Kate really needs any introduction, especially to those of you living in the UK. Ms. Nash had smash hit singles in Britain with ‘Foundations’, ‘Mouthwash’ and the delightful ‘Pumpkin Soup’. Let’s see if her album matches up to her single [...]

***WARNING: This post may contain spoilers.*** That’s right: Skins is back. For you lot in the UK,anyway. And from the first two episodes alone, you know you’re going to be taken on a whirlwind of emotional train-wrecks and drugs-fuelled partying. I’ll give you a quick re-cap of where we left the gang at the end of the last [...]

Lover of all things kitchen? Join the club. For me? I love a good appliance. A busty blender. An magnificent mixer. This week: A miniature food processor (“mini chopper”) by the oft-proclaimed master in the kitchen appliance world, Kenwood. Now first and foremost, I’ve gotta say I was initially DYING to try this out. Not only did [...]
