This week I am… watching Wicked Little Letters
Read more: This week I am… watching Wicked Little LettersThe film stars Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley plus a whole host of well known British actors, and it has recently been added to Netflix.

Rewarding
Read more: RewardingThere is nothing more boring than someone telling you they are on a diet and mentioning it at every meal and every time someone brings cake into the office (“oh no I can’t eat that, I’m on a diet”). Except perhaps someone telling you what they dreamed about last night. But nonetheless I am going…

This Week I Am… not in the queue for Oasis tickets
Read more: This Week I Am… not in the queue for Oasis ticketsI like Oasis as much as the next person, I still listen to some of their songs. Wonderwall is timeless and Don’t Look Back In Anger is a staple of any night out. It has made a lot of people everywhere (especially in Manchester) very happy that they are reuniting. The commercial opportunities of reforming…

Nostalgia Ain’t What It Used To Be

This week I am… reading Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
Read more: This week I am… reading Before The Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu KawaguchiThis is a lovely book – essentially a love story wrapped up in a sci-fi premise of a café where you can travel back in time. The book seems to take place solely in that café but because it is asking those big questions about what you would do or say if you could go…

Scam Artist
Read more: Scam ArtistWhat makes someone want to try and scam another person? What happens in a person’s life that leads them to believe the way to make money is to phone someone up and tell them a cock-and-bull story to convince them to hand over a load of cash? Does that person care or even think at…

This week I am…
Read more: This week I am…Watching the Olympics. Who isn’t? With nail-biting races won at the last second, great feats of skill or endurance and record-breaking performances, what is not to love? What is a shame though is having to work during the day and missing most of the coverage.
