How Brussels Sprouts Made Me a Better Person

They are little pockets of love and I devour them with glee. They have changed my life, not only are they high in vitamin A and C, they have large amounts of folic acid and dietary fibre - awesome for the gluten and grain free life I choose. Continue reading...

Perpetuating Rape Culture: Polanski and the Privileges of 'Fame'

Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are!

I feel there's a change, a positive movement towards acceptance, inclusion and honesty. I used to think I was the only one. The only gay in the village. Yeah, I knew KD Lang was my homegirl and Ellen was too but they were celebrities. I was hardly going to see them around my local Spar. They seemed so far away. Continue reading...

Why Stalingrad Matters Today

World War Two has become an epic of nostalgia entirely disconnected from the cause of anti-fascism, the sacrifices made by the Red Army on the Eastern Front once again hidden from history. Stalingrad, forgotten, scarcely meriting a mention in the mainstream media despite its fixation with all things WW2. Continue reading...

Women in Combat Won't Work? Where's the Proof?

How to Break the Fitness and Fat Loss Motivation Rut

Motivation is tricky to address, as it really is a case of different strokes for different folks. Case in point: the dreaded scales. An undesired number could fuel you to train and diet your socks off for the next month, or it could knock you flying off the wagon into a 'why do I bother' downward spiral. Continue reading...

A Rugby Superstar, the Yukon and Drinking a Human Toe

Former England rugby captain Lewis Moody is in a dark place at the moment. Literally, not mentally.
