Sailing…. “It’s like standing under a cold shower while ripping up fifty pound notes” but judging by our bustling harbours it seems to have a following. Louise Hannah went and checked it out for all the land lubbers. “We have a saying in sailing,” my instructor Peter Carnegie tells me. “It’s like [...]

If there’s one thing I can’t stand it’s being lectured at by some eco-evangelist determined to right the error of my eco-wrongs. All those self-righteous greenies who are always urging us to reduce, recycle and re-use to save the planet always leave me feeling like I’ve just suffered a mild concussion without quite knowing why. [...]

Have you ever been bothered by unwanted pests in your home? And I don't mean mice or ants. No, the worst kind of pest that can takeover your home are definitely the human kind. Sometimes, with relatives you feel duty-bound to invite them to stay. You just need to batten down the hatches and stock [...]

Are you one of those people who could sleep through an earthquake? Then maybe you’d like to swap addresses with me, because I live in one of the noisiest roads on the planet. It’s not as if I want to live the cloistered existence of a Carmelite nun, but I swear, not a single day [...]

I think the term “necessary evil” was coined especially for supermarkets, because unless you’re one of those 4×4 smuggies who frequent farm shops or are content to live off Pot Noodles from the corner shop, it’s the place most of us get our food supplies from.

Everywhere I go at the moment I’m confronted by big red hearts-and it’s not because I’m a cardiac surgeon. No, it’s because we’re fast approaching St Valentine’s Day-the patron saint of restaurants and flower shops everywhere. Soon, most men will be guilted into scurrying around paying out extortionate sums of money for bunches of [...]
Familiar with the Daft Punk Pyramid? Well I’m sorry Thomas and Guy-Manuel, but Etienne De Crecy has almost eclipsed your travelling stage with this epic installation. Those crazy french euro-house DJs, what will they think of next?

According to our publisher, we’ve ‘had a thing’ about this video this month. I’m not sure what he means by that, but what I do know is that Gallery accounts for probably one fifth of the seven million, two hundred and eighteen thousand, two hundred and twenty nine times the video has been viewed at the time of writing. That’s 1,443,645.8 times. Yep, we’re so crazy that we watched it point eight of a time just to make the figures add up. Anyway, POWERTHIRST. It’s an energy drink for men.. MENERGY!

This month’s ‘Youtube video of the month’ was a close call between a Gallery favourite comedy classic involving a cleverly dubbed television advert and that epic new television advert featuring Brains from Thunderbirds dancing to Snap’s ‘Rhythm is a dancer’. No contest really.
