(Geek Alert) While most of the recent additions to the Star Wars cinematic universe have been utterly awful - and by "recent" I mean anything after 1983 - the release of Rogue One was a welcome change from the Jar Jar Binks/Snope/your-mother jokes that have made the rest of them nearly unwatchable. A recurring motif... Continue Reading →
Twitter is not Tinder
Repeat after me: Twitter is NOT Tinder. Say it ten times. Then say it some more. Say it until you believe it, and then tell your friends. Because far too few people understand the differences between these two monolithic digital beasts for my liking. For those wondering what this is all about, let me start... Continue Reading →
When is it time to be online official in a relationship?
It's been six months and things are going well. You've had the conversations and things are official, you're exclusive and happy. On a date night you take a great selfie snap and realise that there's nothing stopping you sharing it online with your friends and family. So, what's stopping you? This was the sort of...

Such a thing happened recently, when I found myself involved... Continue Reading →

Twitter roundup – part one
Yes, this is a lazy post, but I'm feeling in a particularly lazy mood. Back at the end of November 2017 I decided to join Twitter. Again.

My most embarrassing date (so far)
Over the last month or so I've become a little more talkative on Twitter (come say hi @adatingdad if you're on there too!) and have followed some really brilliant and funny people.
