The Ten Commandments: Gym-Going Edition

What’s more, the Ten Commandments of gym-going — invented by me, and listed below for your delectation — are being consistently flouted. You’d think that the masses were unaware of their authority. As an aide-memoire, these commandments are:

A Winter Crash Course for People from Warmer Places

Winter is fast approaching and with that will comes snow, wind, and that bitter cold that makes breaking hurt. If you are going to The Game and don’t prepare, you will quickly learn to huddle like penguins deeply regret the fact that you didn’t wear more layers and wool socks.

My iPhone, My Precious

I fantasize about chucking my iPhone off a cliff. Sharp rocks split its screen as it tumbles into oblivion. I’m certain that I would feel […]

For Rent
