Thief In The Night
To the thief in the night that took and replicated what once was mine: Honestly, I feel kind of bad for you. It’s funny, because we hardly know each other. I only know of you through the magazines you’ve written and the broadcasts you have televised in the past — as well as through the public mentions of you from your show business connections there.

Why Didn't Anyone Tell Us
Men, move along. This is not for you. This is for the women. I was forty-five when I began menopause. It is pretty young for that to be going on in a woman’s life, but I had undiagnosed PCOS, my entire life. Thank you to all the gynecologists I had seen my entire life. That in itself should encourage women to keep seeking second opinions, especially when you are not getting correct answers or any at all.

A Historic Declaration
We the People of the Husbands of the United States of America, in Order to form a more perfect Union, and I mean you...with me...establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves, after Puberty, do ordain and establish this Declaration of Co-Dependence.

I wanted to title this something different, but worried that my chosen title might cause problems entering the United States in the future so this is the new title. It's the greatest title. No one has ever written a title better than this. (All titles unrelated to content).
Let me be honest. I am finding this difficult. Now, I like a challenge, a stretch, a bit of an obstacle course. “Write about the decline of the British Empire in the form of a narrative poem in which your protagonist is an artichoke” I read, and flex my fingers. “Write a haiku to evoke the sensation of sibilance using only the first half of the alphabet.” “Well”, I think to myself, “this should be fun.” But “write about a system that isn’t working”? A system that isn’t working? Now? In 2026? ONE system? My favourite system that isn’t working? The sexiest system that isn’t working? The one giving me the most angst day to day? The one giving me the most existential dread? I am, as I say, finding this difficult. I will own that I have contemplated writing a thousand words on why the steady “all on” setting on my fairy lights is the EIGHTH of seven options which must be sequentially activated to get there, because that is a system that some fool came up with and it definitely doesn’t work, and now who is paying the price, eh? But how can I write about my fairy lights when…. When…. When….

Why Bother With The Degree?. Honorable Mention in A System That Isn’t Working Challenge.
“So, as you can see from my resume, I’ve just completed my degree in Accounting and Finance. I worked part-time alongside it for three years, kept my position at work throughout, and was even a student ambassador during my third year-”

Staying sane in the insane world.
”It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” Jiddu Krishnamurti This quote has been one of my favourites since the moment I first laid my eyes on it. To me, it cuts right through the fog of the illusion of normality that permeates our lives. And since I am someone who has never felt (well) adjusted to this society, Krishnamurti’s words gifted me with the realisation that there isn’t anything inherently wrong with me.

Facebook is Dead. Runner-Up in A System That Isn’t Working Challenge.
Or at least it feels like it's dead, doesn’t it? Any system that is not maintained and improved but simply left to its own devices, will enter a stage of entropy (natural, slow decay, degradation, and dilapidation) and eventually die.

The Black Statistic
Europeans love statistics, there are whole job sectors dedicated to data driven analysis which covers all aspects of our lives from the way we eat to our shopping habits and how often we shit, if you look down a hole far enough it would be pretty scary as to how much personal data is known about us. I watched a recent documentary about undocumented people in China, and it is sad how there are people in the world today who are simply fighting to prove they actually exist as a result of this.

Why I Let My Wife Control My Sports Betting Account
“Babe, we need to talk.” My wife looked at me the way she does when she is waiting for the other proverbial shoe to drop. I have seen that look a few times in our marriage, usually after I start the conversation with the words “Babe, we need to talk.” This time, however, the news wouldn’t be bad for anyone but me, for I had completely and totally blown up my gambling bankroll.

Dumpster Fire
Everything is ruined. There is no way to fix it. What am I going to do? This is so unfair! Life is full of surprises, and some are not welcome ones. In fact, life tends to test you to the very ends of your nerves and emotions. There is no way to avoid it or the tragedies that spring up, but they can be weathered, if you sit back and take a breather.

Why Do the Elderly Crave Sweets
Many families notice the same surprising pattern as their loved ones age: older adults often develop a stronger craving for sweets. Grandparents who once preferred savory meals may suddenly reach for cookies, candy, ice cream, or sugary drinks more often than they used to.

The Silent Genius
In the world of comedy, many performers rely on clever jokes, fast dialogue, or complicated stories to make people laugh. But one character proved that laughter can come from the simplest actions and expressions. That character is Mr. Bean, created and performed by the brilliant British actor Rowan Atkinson. The success story of Mr. Bean is not only about comedy—it is a story of creativity, persistence, and the power of universal humor.
