Is it ok to admit that I haven’t seen a dentist in years? Not on purpose anyway. I may well have seen a plain clothes dentist in a crowd of people trying to navigate Tottenham Court Road tube station, or perhaps even met

As Tolkien tells the world through the voice of Gandalf to Frodo, “it’s a dangerous thing stepping out of your door,” so the modern equivalent is found when one logs into LinkedIn after a long weekend. A world where it i

Let’s be honest: no one has an interesting job. And those who do, we cannot cope with it, which is why televised extended adventures involving said jobs are much easier to process. Small doses of the nuclear scientist, i

This morning, my wife told me that some people don’t bring out the ‘best version’ of me. That is, I admitted, due to a general sense of fear. There are many versions of me (I made a typo there to suggest there were ‘manl

In the early days of the COVID-19 lockdowns, when we were all told that breathing could be deadly, I found some solace in the fact that the small retail space a couple of doors down from our apartment block had also beco

Many things have changed since the old school days I remember. I recall we played outside daily, though I’m not entirely sure how that was possible, given the UK has a rain streak that must have unlocked a “Legendary Wea

If there’s one thing my social media algorithm is feeding my confirmation bias, it’s that everyone is a nutritionist. Me included. There are foods that are easy to eat, require little to no preparation and provide the sa

I’ve been loyal to Gail’s for eight years. They’ve been indifferent to me for all of them. This is the relationship I deserve. Before the brand police took over the marketing department, I clearly remember someone saying

All men are created equal. Some more equal than others. If George Orwell had written “Animal Farm” in 2025, it would have been called… “Food Bakery.” Maybe. While a groundbreaking book, I don’t think it’s a very good rea

We simply must admit that the theory of evolution has been fully disproven. Somewhere in a sterile laboratory, there is a scientist clutching a clipboard, convinced that humanity is incrementally improving because a finc

When I usually walk into a shop, I see a queue and understand that that could be where I can join in for a while. The Brit in me has a great understanding of queues. There is a severe respect that I believe other nationa

It must have been the 90s, because I’m pretty sure by the 2000s I had gained enough personality to feel like I could complain about what my parents put in front of me at dinner time. Sitting around the IKEA Raising coffe

I just went to the Gail’s around the corner. And honestly? It rattled me. The problem with Gail’s isn’t the price. There’s nothing surprising about a £6 croissant anymore. What it has naturally created through its presen
