New Zealand A Blackmailer’s Guide

Is this as good as weeing at the beach?

I can’t believe New Zealand actually won a cricket test match! This is the fuckin highlight of my life! Yes this proves my life is a lame, depressing, uneventful and sex-free existence, but, regardless of that, I’m excited!! Especially seeing it was three bloody champions who secured victory for NZ; Vrrrrr, Bondy and O’Business. Well [...]

Get The Look

Get the Look: Dolce & Gabbana Trunk Show. When I saw the backstage shots from the recent Dolce & Gabbana Trunk Show in London, I seriously fell in love with the ladylike hair and make up.

Get your motor running

Since receiving the latest Webbs catalogue a week or so ago, I have been singing the 1969 song Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf – yes – with visions of Easy Rider of course.  I love that film. I am not an expert on motorbikes.  In fact I don’t really know anything about motorbikes.  My [...]
