The sense of relief was building as I walked down the street, moving ever closer to my driveway. It had been a strenuous working day and I’d certainly used up my brain power allowance for a Tuesday. But luckily in just a few seconds I’d be slumped on the couch watching the glorious selection of…
Unashamedly some of my most memorable nights out have been spent in less than desirable venues. But let’s face it, being capable of having the time of your life in a hell hole of a club with puke splattered down the stairs and a layer of floor sludge made of alcohol and bodily fluids is…
Being taller than the majority of men, let alone women, I only wear heels for comedy or shock value. On the rare occasions the courage is plucked up to don them on a night out (or God forbid in the daylight!), I make my friends look like children being led through the streets by an…
Parents are meant to embarrass you when you’re growing up, it’s a perk of having children that I intend to take full advantage of if I reproduce. My mother was no exception to this rule and I don’t blame her. I’d find it bloody hilarious to make my child turn burgundy with shame as I…
Sorry to offend any of you crazy cat ladies and gentlemen, but I make no secret of my serious aversion to felines.

A sudden blackout can be a scary experience, but beware as consciousness may not be the only thing you lose control over. I had my fair share of…
There’s no debating the fact I am a hideous cook and a danger to anyone unfortunate enough to be my dinner guest. I was led to believe that women become magicians in the kitchen when they reach a certain age, capable of wowing their friends and family with culinary works of art. Well, I’m still…
Life doesn’t have to be serious. We should celebrate life’s silly and often hideously embarrassing moments because those are likely to be the ones that will stay with us for years to come. Some of the best people I’ve met don’t care if they make a fool of themselves and I bloody love hearing their stories of…
Embracing the idiotic
