My favourite magazines between the ages of 8–11 were Woman, Woman's Own, Chat (when it was printed on newspaper), ancient copies of Just Seventeen, TV Times, NOTW Sunday mag – all available at my Nana's – and the Beano.

A small gossip item in my auntie’s Woman’s Own about Maxwell Caulfield visiting a nudist beach definitely helped me reach some important conclusions.

Forever haunted by the checkout operator who watched me plonk a cucumber on the belt and said, β€˜Quiet night in?’

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Oh no this is the kind of optimistic sunshine that makes me think I could rob a bank and get away with it.

This week I’m meeting for lunch a friend I haven’t seen for almost 27 years and we have both agreed that the first thing out of our mouths should be β€œyou look EXACTLY the same”

Freya and Greg Ah, February. Valentines. Pancakes. Rain tipping down on a permanent basis. What’s not to love? February is the kind of month you want to strangle just to get it out of the way – no wonder it…

In the latest Guardian Blind Date: Blond ambition. And a cardigan convention.

My, er, rather frank review:

If I were being generous I’d say some people lean more toward facts than feelings, which doesn’t make for great copy in this instance

Young, so maybe it didn’t occur to spice the answers up a little. Nothing really about feelings etc, just what I call β€˜what I did on my holidays’ reporting, like a school kid.

I really do wish them well but we’ve all got somewhere to be.

this is a very basic point to make but I hate that so many tech people are going "whoops haha AI is about to destroy society as we know it!" and yet incredibly few tech people are arguing in favour of just...slowing down the roll-out of AI, apparently progress must crush us and we have no say in it?
