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 [...]

***WARNING: This post may contain spoilers.*** Last week saw the return of Izzie. This week saw the return of Arizona’s heelies. Hurrah! We shall rejoice. As much as I would like to spend the whole review talking about how much I missed those little booties, there are more pressing issues at hand. Surgery of the Week. Although it wasn’t really [...]

Getting bored of Kate, Florence and Marina? Then go look up Ellie Goulding, one of the best females to hit music for a fair old time. With her electronic-folk style, this lady really has a voice which makes you stop and take notice. In fact, saying that she’d already been named BBC’s Sound of 2010, as well as [...]

Let’s be real: veganism can get boring. Between devouring hummus and chomping on carrots, there soon comes a point where you long for pizza. And creamy pasta. And, at times, something a little more ‘meaty’. It’s not that we have any real desire to eat animals or their products; it’s the texture, the taste, the associations. Now, of [...]

Okay, so it’s half 7 in the morning and you’re rushing round the house struggling to leave on time. You haven’t got time for the most important meal of the day. But you know you really ought to eat something. But what?! I, my friends, have the answer. This is an Alpen Light bar, and in my humble opinion I [...]

To be honest, any British band based in Brighton gets my vote. Colour It In is their first album and the only album I have. Someone actually bought me it for Valentine’s Day, but you don’t want to know about that… So, is it a good listen or not? Track #1: Good Old Bill – Love the drums [...]

You know, sometimes I get real tired of cheap TV-based escapism. I mean,TV is fine for a while. But, just between you and me, I get pretty tired of watching predictable storylines and un-original content which I could find on 7 other channels. So, being a typical man, I decided to return to my computer-game playing roots [...]

Remember when Sandra Bullock was a celebrated actress? You’re probably thinking ’she still is!’ Nuh uh. Not after this. All About Steve is a twisted rom-com about a cruciverbalist (Bullock) who falls in love with a dishy news cameraman. What’s a cruciverbalist? Someone who writes crossword puzzles. And that’s not even the most lame part about it. It’s [...]
