Is everyone gay?


Well some would like to think so. Nathan Conroy claims to have had sex with Robbie Williams.
I’m kind of thinking if he was then surely someone would have seen him out and about in clubs by now. Plus all the rumours about his flatmate - surely in this day and age he would simply have [...]

overheard snippets


On my way into work this morning walking from Kensington Olympia to the office I was walking in front of a man and woman having a conversation about holidays and the like. Transpired he was going on a beach holiday. The reason it caught my attention was the phrase ‘wearing tight pants makes you look [...]
