July 29, 2010 | How do you know this person?Remember the early days of Facebook, before it became the controversy-courting internet behemoth it is today, and was just a university network where students could post up photos of each other in fancy dress. Back then being ‘married’ or ‘engaged’ was meant ironically, and the most inflammatory group was ‘Don’t Close The Boat’ (368 members), [...]  July 28, 2010 | Small TalkYou know when you’re on the tube in the morning and you see someone you recognise but can’t be bothered to talk to, so you hide? A packed early morning tube must be the worst place to catch up with someone, with the possible exception of a war zone. Small talk at 8am is painful [...] July 26, 2010 | Deep ThinkingIn the aftermath of Drinking Game Phone call Gate, I have decided to start balancing out my social life with a bit of culture, in a bid to supplement the current diet of brainless fun with something a little more nourishing. Sort of like eating a salad after an afternoon spent bingeing on jelly snakes. [...] July 21, 2010 | True RomanceRomance. It’s a tricky one to nail.

If you’ve read previous posts about the [...] July 19, 2010 | FlawedPeople say it’s important to get out of the office at lunchtime, in order to de-stress and return refreshed and raring to go for the afternoon budget audity schedule meeting, or whatever people with proper jobs get up to of an afternoon. Clearly none of these people work on Oxford Street, where stepping out for a [...] July 12, 2010 | Work BuddyReally great work friends are a precious commodity. And rare. Find a good one, and you’ll be tap dancing your way through the daily grind like Ginger Rogers on prozac. The racier, but altogether riskier, alternative to the best work buddy is the office crush. After all, there’s surely nothing like a bit of kitchen [...] July 7, 2010 | Cold CallingWith all manner of cultural events to dip a toe into, London on a Saturday is a land of endless possibility. But when the Summer rolls in, like most people my social horizons are narrowed to the nearest stretch of grass, a rug on which to loll until shoulders turn pink and a barbeque to [...] July 2, 2010 | If you need cheering up...Panna, of Panna’s Baking Blog fame, sent me the link to an hilarious website yesterday. It’s pictures from interiors catalogues with the imagined dialogue of the people that live in them. As she pointed out, they get better as you scroll down…. Enjoy. Catalogue Living |
