You might have seen this article already. But it’s an interesting read bearing in mind it was written before the London riots.

“As looters and rioters smashed up shops, looted and fought with police in Camden Town, Philippa Morgan-Walker, 25 and her husband, Jonny Walker, 31, made tea for the police who were protecting their street. Some of the officers had been on duty for more than 30 hours.”

Things I have learnt

One thing I have learnt from Rom-Coms: persistence always pays off in the end. One thing I have learnt from real life: persistence is demeaning, makes you look desperate and never pays off.

Watch

Things that annoy me about this new Audrey Tautou film trailer: The cheesy American voice stating everything that I can figure out for myself by actually watching what’s happening in the trailer. The fact that they compare it to Amélie when it looks nothing like it, then the main character is called Emilie. It just makes it look like it’s a film made by Americans to look French, but...

Doot doola doot doo!

Attention wannabe nerds

I dislike that being a “geek” or a “nerd” is cool now. Which is a bit of an oxymoron, surely? Back in school, it was an insult and us geeks managed to survive by discovering that we weren’t alone in being labelled with this derogative term. I can’t stand the thought that people actually buy glasses with no corrective lenses in them. That’s like buying...
