THINGS YOU HATED AS A KID BUT LOVE AS AN ADULT

  1. Having nothing to do

As a child, you would sit there and complain that you’re bored and have nothing to do, whilst your friend James is off climbing a mountain with his family.

As an adult, you sit there with a grand smile on your face as you do nothing, whilst your friend James is off climbing a mountain.  Sucker.

  1. Sleeping in on the weekend

As a child, you couldn’t wait to Continue reading “THINGS YOU HATED AS A KID BUT LOVE AS AN ADULT”

SENSE8: SEASON 2, SH*T OR GOOD?

sense804

*Warning, this piece is a little crass.

So, I’ve had a very passionate hate-tolerate relationship with Sense8.  And quite frankly, ditching it and forgetting that crap was a welcoming relief. I couldn’t sit through the entire season, it was torturous.  Continue reading “SENSE8: SEASON 2, SH*T OR GOOD?”

Finding Mr & Mrs Right: The gold digger

Jane and John met during first year university.  They didn’t do the same course, they weren’t in the same classes.  Their paths did not cross each other through their university lives.  It was through an extended network of friends that their paths crossed.

A loving scene, a familiar scene. A wonderful moment, making the Continue reading “YOUR WORTH IS IN YOUR LOOKS”

And we all know that there was going to be third Continue reading “Kung Fu Panda 3 – they’re back”

CONFIDENCES OF A CHEATING SCUM

“It’s not cheating when we’re not in the same postcode.”  Cheating Scum declared merrily to me, laughing at how clever he thought he was for having stepped out from right under his girlfriends’ nose time and again.  And I mean girlfriends.  There hasn’t been a single one with whom he hasn’t cheated on, and this is a proud point for Cheating Scum.

cheatersCheating Scum isn’t overly good looking, but what he is is charming, he’s engaging and has a way of making the women in his life feel as though they are the only woman in the entire world.  He’s confident, he’s witty, he’s generous.  He is the type of guy to shower a woman Continue reading “CONFIDENCES OF A CHEATING SCUM”
