I got married in November last year and lost weight, not intentionally (although I did keep talking about it), it was the adrenalin; nerves and a rather unfortunate car crash that led to this turn of events.
I'm dyslexic. That's right. Richard Branson, Albert Einstein, Henry Winkler and Orlando Bloom and I can all officially high-five each other. Now dyslexia affects people in different ways. It can be a major block to getting through school and getting through work. However, dyslexia isn't all that bad. In fact I ABSOLUTELY FREAKING LOVE IT. Here's why...
We women have to employ a stealth approach to using humour in the boardroom, on public platforms and to build our relationships with friends and families. When we group together in tribes, professional networks, social or family groups, we are funny - gobsmackingly, hilariously funny, funny, funny.
Social networking website Facebook is set to increase its worth dramatically on Friday as it goes floats on the stock market, offering millions of sha...
Having spent a wet afternoon in Richmond Park earlier this week flag waving HRH the Queen on her royal progression to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, I did feel for the drenched military and community entourage.
A student who made a name for himself by photobombing sporting events holding a giant cut-out of his own gurning face has popped up yet again – at a...
The truth is, beards tend to fascinate people in the Western world. Other cultures have the beard built into their social DNA, but here, in this side of the world, a beard raises a question or two. Especially if you're David Beckham.
For the first time, the public can have access to the innermost thoughts of university academics - and not part with a penny. Welcome to the Depart...
Students from one of the country's leading universities have been chided for repeatedly wearing their "night wear" to the breakfast hall. Undergrad...
I was chatting to absurdist comedian Charlie Chuck this week. Or, rather, to the real person who performs as Charlie Chuck - Dave Kear. He told me he had been researching his family tree.
Anti-terror laws, government-sponsored arms-dealers and testing the limits of free speech and protest: Mark Thomas has tackled them all.
The public sector, in my opinion is the most important of all the job areas in the UK, for they are the people employed to maintain some sense of order and safety amongst all us everyday loons who fart about on a daily basis landing ourselves in all sorts of mishaps.
Richard Herring explained to me yesterday: "I was told I couldn't use the words 'dick' and 'fuckinghamshire' in the 40 words. I wasn't too surprised about the 'fuckinghamshire' ("honourable member for fuckinghamshire" was the line) even though that isn't a swear word and presumably means you have to censor 'Scunthorpe' too.
"We live in a Post-post-Leveson world," he muses, cupping his b*lls. "People expect their journalism to be fresh, healthy, handmade now. We sell ours at journalism markets - truly horrifying f**kfests which take place in Stoke Newington school playgrounds and attract the very worst kind of smug pram-pushing broadsheet reader."
Sceptical about whether women comics can compete with their established male counterparts, Sarah Rainey joins female comedians on London's stand-up ci...
Great Britain finds itself in the chilly embrace of a double dip recession, but rumour has it that there are areas where retail is making a killing. After a mere year of marriage Wills and Kate have re-energised the British high street.
If you fell asleep during the 22 words he used before he got to the point, in a nutshell, it was "Whatever dude, they're in love, stop harshing their buzz". All of which is entirely awesome and momentous to anyone with a brain, obviously.
Victorians were obsessed with it, today we have an entire generation XOXOing because of it and for me gossip has always been fascinating. We've created a world of shared stories, whispers, snap shots and identities through things we've said, heard and wanted to be.
In a world seemingly gone mad, a comedian now rules one of the greatest capital cities in the world for a second term. I am not amused.
o, London went to the polls. Or rather it didn't, because: it was a bit parky out; it might have rained; we'd run out of milk; had to get to the shops; who could be arsed; it was the same old people; oh, was it on Thursday?
Two in three young tourists who have tattoos on holiday later regret it, according to a travel agent poll. An increasing number of young people are...
It is perhaps a fault of the avid gamer to be preoccupied with the future, what's next? Will it hover? But let's take a moment to look back at five of the worst games of all time.
Fancy a laugh? Well, you can't go wrong heading over to oldjewstellingjokes.com, which boasts - would you beleive it - several old Jews telling jokes....
Now, make no mistake, I love the Edinburgh Fringe. One thing I like about it is its freewheeling, hands-off nature. Anyone can perform at the Fringe; ...
There now follows some snippets from my new one-act play, "Meanwhile, at The Sun". It features a journalist named Nick and his writing partner, Alex, as they attempt to keep up with the rolling snowball that is the news.
