  • I Took my Clothes off, Mummy
      I recently read a description, of one of those moments. When your child is crying, and you know it is all your fault.I have one of those memories, one of those moments. It's incredibly strong. I doubt I'll ever forget.It was such a small thing, and I doubt my son shares the memory. I hope he doesn't. He'll have others of his own, no doubt. That he remembers, but I forget.Like me and my mum. When I was a teenager, my sweet tooth was strong, just as it always had been, just as it still is. And I knew…

  • Riding High
    Tonight, dear reader, I will be living your fantasy.   I hurry now to finish this post, knowing that you are the only thing standing between me and a private club that I recently joined.   The doorman will flash me a smile as I slip him my card. I’ll descend into the basement and past the kids who are already going at it. I’ll follow a corridor into the heart of the club and find myself surrounded by dozens of half-naked women. They will be readying themselves for the effort to come - adding jewelry and adjusting their complicated…

  • 21 Reasons Why a Miscarriage is A Bit Rubbish
    It is, just a bit. Here's why:   (1) Despite the fact that your insides are babyless, they are still Sticking Out. Which may or may not have something to do with the fact that you thought you could get away with eating Whatever The Hell You Liked for two months, because you were pregnant. You were pregnant. Now you are just fat. Which is rubbish.   (2) It makes you want to get drunk all the time. Which would be fine if alcohol weren't a depressant and didn't make you hungover, as well as even more fat.

  • Image never seen before in the West
    I have never - never ever ever - seen an image like this before in my life. To my shame, it wasn't until I looked at this image that I realized I've never seen one like it before.   It turns out that somewhere in the world, there is a black person helping white people! It's not even an ad campaign for Benetton! It's real! I've reproduced the image here (from US Prospect magazine*.) It would be amazing if anyone out there could supply maybe just one more. It could turn out that potentially two black people in the world…
