Did you know that teeth preserve extremely well, even after someone has passed away? That’s why I have to get regular dentist appointments, even though I haven’t had flesh in about five hundred years. Thankfully, the bristle toothbrush had just been invented back when I was alive, so I’ve been brushing my teeth for my …
I’m obsessed with my dog. It’s safe to say that I love her more than the average person loves their dog, and it’s because she is without a doubt, the best thing in my life. The way she greets me at the door every evening after work, it brings a tear to my eye. She …
I find it difficult to try new things, which is why I’ve never driven a car. There’s just a lot of new experiences that come with driving a car, such as the first time you drive, your first car park, the first time you get in an accident. Let alone all the times I would …
I am the proud new owner of a 1950s BMW. It’s been in my family for three generations now. It was owned by my grandfather, then my father and now it’s mine, his first born daughter. My dad has an older sister who was bypassed as an option to be the BMW owner because my …
My little brother is such a dork. He’s always plotting some scheme, which sort of sounds cool but really isn’t. It’s never anything good, or interesting, or even halfway feasible – just some half baked idea that he’s become obsessed with for reasons that nobody quite understands.

Dear Nitrous Dioxide, I am writing to express my interest in the position of steel supplier for your latest project: the giant intergalactic parking lot that you plan to turn Earth into. You may be somewhat confused about the form of this cover letter, given it is not being sent directly to you, but instead …
“What’s your real name?” Frankie asked me as we approached the hardware store, pulling our bikes into the parking lot. “I’m sorry?” I said. “My real name?” “Yeah. The name you were born with. Obviously it’s not Bandit, but that’s what Space Wizard calls you.” “I’ve always been Bandit,” I said. “It may not be …
Living as a perfectionist isn’t easy. I work so hard to keep my work perfect, my body perfect, my house perfect. Sometimes, though, it’s out of your control. Take, for instance, this morning. I woke up, went through my regular routine and found myself drinking coffee and having breakfast right across from my favourite wall. …
I reckon low-carb eating is contagious. Or at least, talking about it is. Ever since I talked to Boris at lunch, it’s all I’ve been able to talk about, which is exactly what he said happened to him after Baz tipped him off, who got it from Kerry-Anne. Point is, my colleagues are now all …
Setting up a business has always been hard, I’m told, but I’m sure it must have become more complex over time. The market’s more crowded, tech savvy is a must, things cost more and we’re having an energy crisis. But I’d like to think that these things can be interpreted as positives, as well as …
