The Ultimate Guide To Achieving An IPPT Gold

It started with a T-shirt. While trying on T-shirts at Uniqlo, I realised that not a single M-sized shirt could hide my proudly protruding belly. Aren’t these changing room mirrors supposed to make you look more attractive than you actually are? Ugh. It was time to do something about it. I didn’t want to do the usual “join […]

Using Facebook On The Toilet

First, let’s get this out of the way: We all use Facebook on the toilet. Don’t even try to deny it – I know you’ve done it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. I had a friend whose family kept a stash of Archie comics on the toilet to help pass the time when they’re

I Bought A TV And It Was Mad Confusing

I bought a TV a couple of weeks ago. Now, I don’t actually watch that much TV, but it’s just one of those things you get for your new house, right? (How else would you distract your relatives when they visit and ask awkward questions?) You’d think that buying a TV should be relatively simple:

That’s like saying, “Twister fries are delicious”.

3 Great Books To Read This Long Weekend

My fiancee makes fun of me because I’m a reading addict. I carry my Kindle around all the time. When my fiancee goes to the bathroom, I whip out my Kindle and continue reading. When she’s trying out shoes, I head straight for the “boyfriend chair” and read. It’s fun. Reading rocks my socks. Think
