In a break from my normal endless stream of trashy TV (which reminds me, I have a lot of Dynasty to catch up on!), I found myself strangely drawn to a documentary about Malala Yousefzai. A couple of years ago I was in an Uber on my way to RAK and the normal ‘where are…

Pure Anger
There was a Facebook post the other day that asked what the first item of news is that you remember. My family never had the news on very much. Mum doesn’t like that kind of negativity in the house. But I do remember the case of James Bulger. I doubt anyone in the UK could…
Sticks and stones
We are all told that little rhyme when we are growing up. It’s meant to keep us safe from mean words. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. It’s great in theory but it’s a lie. Words can hurt horrendously. It’s an obvious thing really. Don’t use the n-word…
True Hollywood Horror Stories
Anyone who has seen a newspaper, a news website, heard the news on the radio, or seen a tv screen with the news playing will know that there has been a bit of a scandal in Hollywood this week. Harvey Weinstein, a big name in both tv and movies, has been accused of sexually harassing…
STOP THE SPOILERS!!!!!!!
MailOnline, that means you! I hate you. You keep ruining the shows I am trying to watch. I don’t read the articles but the pictures, video clips and the headlines you use tell me pretty much everything I am trying desperately NOT to know. There are some of us who rely on catch up tv…
London Will NEVER Fall
I have so many words today that this could be a jumbled mess that I never remember the actual starting point for. On the plus side it won’t be as bad as it could be as it’s first thing in the morning and so there is no wine involved. I was sat on my couch last…
Armchair Detectives
I break with my catch up for an up to date event, because I have words in my head that I need to use up! Last night The Boy and I ended up watching the new Amanda Knox documentary on Netflix. We have always both been interested true crime type things, and so the odd…
Postcards from Vienna at the Dubai Opera House
As you may have guessed by now, my bestie was in town and despite the drama that bought him here, I wanted him to see the good bits too. There was enough seriousness and that needed a break every now again again. After the giant burger lunch at The Ivy, and an afternoon of insane…
T&Cs
This week I was approached by a blog site called My Trending Stories (“MTS”). They had apparently seen one of my posts and enjoyed it. The initial approach was so complimentary that I was hugely flattered. Naturally I emailed back and asked for more information. A generic reply email was sent, but I was still…
Olympic Sized Objections to the Media
I feel a rant coming on. In case you’ve been living in a cave in the remote mountains of Outer Mongolia, you will know that the Olympics is on. I have zero interest. I never have, and unless I am invited to join Prince William and Prince Harry for a day, the likelihood of me…
