Just when you think you've got things sorted... Things were settled. We are co-parenting with a 50/50 split on our kids time. Well, I say co-parenting; we are parenting separately and sharing essential information about the kids, but it's the best we can do for now. I was starting to plan out my year, was...

Years are funny things. They are a man-made construct to mark the amount of time that it takes for the earth to travel around the sun once. In the grand scheme of things they mean nothing; I am literally no different now to how I was yesterday. Adding another day onto my age hasn't made... Continue Reading →
Are matchmaking services worth it?
There's an old saying that cost and value are two entirely distinct things. Something which costs loads might be worth nothing (as much as I love my completed 2010 World Cup Panini sticker album, realistically it's never going to be a collector's item), whilst other things cost very little but are worth more than money...

Comic-on Point
I am a multi-faceted man. I love politics. Sport. Digital. Reading. Blogging. Socialising. Music. Movies. Cooking. Dating. More "adult" activities. Public speaking. Crushing my enemies beneath the heels of my boots. Cleaning. Ok, perhaps not that last one, but there is a huge range of things that I am passionate about to one level or... Continue Reading →
The Twelve Days of Dating
On the twelfth day of Christmas, online dating gave to me, Twelve Lovestruck offers Eleven random weirdos Ten pointless coffees Nine “thanks, but no thanks” Eight people ghosting Seven “don’t like children” Six unread WhatsApp’s Five catfishes Four numbers blocked Three dick pics Two Bumble matches And a sore thumb from constant swiping.
Ten things I miss about being in a couple
Being single is great. It allows you to watch the tv shows you want to watch, eat ice cream throughout a Sunday if you want to and no-one tells you that you shouldn't still be playing Football Management simulation games as you're a grown-up. That being said, I love being in a couple. A proper... Continue Reading →
