MWG No More!

Okay, that title is a bit misleading, but then again so was Stan Lee, because Peter Parker kept on being Spidey, for over 45 years. Long time readers will know that I've been going out with MWG for over a year (I gushed about it recently), and that it's been a good year and that …

It was a very good year (WARNING! Soppy stuff ahead)

Yesterday was exactly a year since MWG and I started going out. This is the first of my relationships to pass the year mark and celebrating an anniversary was a new thing for me. It just feels crazy that it's been a year already, in more than one way. In some ways it feels as …

The trouble with the #curvy

I love Instagram, after Tumblr and Twitter it's probably the social network I use the most and I regularly post pics of stuff that's caught my eye. Of course, like all social networks it's not without flaws. It's got some ridiculous censorship rules, including a real problem with Lady nipples, and there have been several …

Curiosity killed the cat, I just injured it

The last few days I have been racked with guilt. And utterly unable to ignore or forget it because I am confronted with the consequences of my actions on a regular basis. What awful thing have I done? What is my own telltale heart reminding me of my evil deed? The guilt is brought back …

Yes Man

Resistance is futile. You can complain, you can try to distract yourself, but sooner or later trashy TV will get you. This was the case with TLC's Say Yes To The Dress and its sister show, Say Yes To The Dress: Atlanta. MWG has been obsessed with both shows recently, and to start with I …

My Thoughts on Plus Sized Wars

At the weekend MWG and I watched Plus Sized Wars a Channel 4 documentary about the plus sized fashion industry. It's available on their on demand service All 4 and I recommend checking it out. We decided to watch it because one of MWG's friends is off to work for one of the companies featured …

I’m a man, and I order Lemon and Herb

Disclaimer: MWG had the TV on while I was watching this so I got distracted by the cheesiness of The Lizzie McGuire movie, so forgive me if this goes astray. On Sunday night, to celebrate my birthday MWG took me to a rather fancy hotel. It was four stars and probably the nicest place I've …

Inked: Live!

Getting your calf tattooed hurts a lot more than your arms. Or at least that's my experience, because I'm currently in a fair amount of pain as Morgan at Frontier gives me a chubby mermaid on my right leg. Luckily I have MWG on hand to comfort me with terrible jokes and to take pictures …

Do give up the day job

The other day I was daydreaming about what I'd do I won the lottery, outlining my plans for international travel, gadgets and gigs galore, when MWG said something that totally fried my brain. "You can't quit your job, though." What?!? The whole point of the lottery fantasy is that you're instantly wealthy and freed from …

Inside Chris’ Studio

There's an American TV show where this guy sycophantically interviews film stars, it's not particularly interesting because the dude doesn't really probe that deep. However, every guest is asked the same questions as part of the process, and as my acting career has stalled at amateur dramatics level I thought I'd answer them here, so …
