Last Christmas I decided I deserved a holiday. I was working hard. Harder than perhaps I should’ve been, but hey, c’est la vie, right? A friend of mine, who had decided to go travelling popped back to Cardiff and we met for coffee. She had set up home in Budapest, Hungary. She went there last…

The Wondrous World of… Internet Dating
I’ve always parroted Russell Brand’s theory on his own life: my life is a series of embarrassing events strung together by telling people about my embarrassing stories.

The Ultimate and Totally Biased Top 50 Hottest Actors and Actresses List Ever
This all started with Jason Bateman. It was one of those pivotal moments in life, that you don’t realise will change everything, but when you reflect later you can say ‘yes… that was the moment’. Jason, I hope you realise what you started. I saw a trailer for a film the other day. No idea…
