Fiction gets it very wrong indeed when it comes to romantic couples. Whether it's Anakin and Padme (why a cultured galactic senator would be attracted to a petulant child is beyond me), any of the throuple from Twilight or Ted and Robin from HIMYM, writers seem to totally and utterly miss the mark when it...

Time for a midweek parenting tale to break the monotony of dating posts, with "break" being the operative word. I've led a fairly charmed life when it comes to serious injuries. Until I started playing Australian Rules Football in my twenties I'd never broken a single bone in my body. Even now, all I've done... Continue Reading →
Having 10,000 spoons when all you need is knife isn’t ironic, it’s bad planning by the caterers. A free ride when you’ve already paid isn’t ironic, it’s bad timing at the fairground. A traffic jam when you’re already late isn’t ironic, it’s you being an idiot and expecting the Dartford Bridge to be moving smoothly... Continue Reading →

Normally I'd add a spoiler alert here, but if you've not seen it by now you probably never will, and the... Continue Reading →
I appreciate this piece is a little late to the party and I've therefore missed riding the zeitgeist wave, but Emma Watson's words on being "self-partnered" have been all over the place recently and sparked countless discussions, debates and articles on both sides of opinion. In case you missed it, the UN Ambassador recently mentioned... Continue Reading →
I've mentioned before that my first ever kiss was with Katie Patterson, after her big sister locked us in the shed together and wouldn't let us out until we touched lips. Katie, however, was not my first love. Well, perhaps love is too strong a word as I was a mere child, but it was... Continue Reading →
I love podcasts. I listen to loads of them, covering subjects as diverse as football, F1, comedy, current affairs, economics and more. I love hearing new, interesting and/or funny opinions on everything as I sit on the train or drive to work, or even while pottering around the kitchen at home. A couple of months...

"Play it mean and keep them keen". So says the dating advice that has been handed down from generation to generation. The psychological idea behind this old adage is one of scarcity increasing desirability; if your positive feedback and comments are rarer then the other person will crave them more, and will therefore work harder...

You may be deceived if you trust too much, but you will live in torment unless you trust enough.Frank Crane Trust is one of the most powerful of emotions. It enables us to put our lives, our hearts and our dreams in the hands of another and allow them to help us live. It creates... Continue Reading →
