I will be the first to admit that, in the past, I have made passing comments claiming that “I hate children” and less polite iterations of the same sentiment. I get it. You’re on a plane and the baby two rows behind you won’t stop screaming. You’re walking down the street and a slow-walking toddler […]
I want to be clear: this country needs the NHS. But over the last two days, I’ve felt the tight grip of the red tape of the NHS bureaucracy. I’ve been running around in circles to book one vaccine. My GP told me to check their website; their website was down. I eventually found the […]
We’ve all been there. Every one of us has committed that cardinal sin. An act for which the only real retribution must be permanent incarceration in the deepest, darkest hole in Scotland. We’ve all, at some point, been a little too loud. Made a little too much noise. And if that’s you, then own it. […]

Grace O’Neal thinks she’s got pasta problems. Personally, I had never even heard of bow-tie pasta needing glue to hold itself together (as do most of us, let’s be honest, so who am I to judge) and I’m not even 100% convinced it’s true. But if she wants to stand by her earlier claims, I […]
As any student, when it comes to pasta, I’d say I’m knowledgeable. So knowledgeable, in fact, that I have a favourite type, fusilli, and more importantly, a least favourite type: farfalle, or “bowtie pasta” as it’s known on the streets.
