No, not mine; those of a demented-seeming, thirtysomething bloke called Chris Waitt. I’ve just been to see his film/documentary, a rambling and bizarre journey through his emotional past, as he tries to discover – by visiting all his ex-girlfriends – why he keeps getting dumped and can’t sustain a long term relationship. I thought it [...]

Why do I do these things?!

Last night Cazzer and Lady M came round for sushi. And by this, I mean we actually made sushi. Ourselves. And very professional it looked / tasted, too. It was very soothing to make, no wonder so many Japanese are skilled in the ways of Zen…I would like to think I could take it up [...]
Wedding bells

No, not for me, of course not, how ridiculous would THAT be?! Almost as ridiculous, I guess, as my new (temporary) job. Yes, I came straight in off the Vancouver ‘redeye’ to my first day as Acting Associate Editor on a wedding magazine, one of the more comedy jobs I’ve had in recent years.
As if [...]
Living it up, Canadian-style

I was first introduced to the delights of Canadian fun after a day out in Whistler, when we drove up to see Chris and Luisa’s friends Conrad and Danielle in Pemberton (or Pembie, for short). They operate a kind of ‘open house’ policy; living in a six bedroomed house as they do, it must be [...]

Good god, where do I begin to describe my Canadian experience? I’ve been back a week now and only just caught up on my sleep / felt the hysteria of it all begin to subside.

Off to Canadia-land!

I am imminently off to Canada. It has been nine long months since I saw my friend Luisa, who moved there with her husband Chris last October. Initially, not only did I miss her as I knew I would anyway, but I found it incredibly hard to cope without her, as she had been such [...]
A busy week

Back to reality indeed, and back to the toils and endeavours that I love to call journalism. I spent another busy week at one of the weeklies, where the pressure was ramped up so much it felt like working on a daily. Normally this doesn’t bother me, but the baton of stress is inevitably passed [...]
Getting away from it all

Sometimes you just can’t be bothered with all the hassle of men, dating, life, the drudgery of work…so I always recommend going on a press trip to really get that sense of an artificial world of luxury and joy that you wish you always lived in but which you know is only going to last [...]
