The deal breakers

Posted on 17 May, 2011 by nuttycow

From the amount of times I’m referencing Blonde and Blokely recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking that I’m taking some kind of backhander from them (in the monetary sense of course, nothing else). I’m not. Promise. However, fact is, recent … Continue reading →

Posted on 13 May, 2011 by nuttycow

Our mutual friend, Blonde, writes a fantastic column for the online male magazine, Blokely. In it, she tackles issues that men have with women – why flowers are not a good apology gift, how to break it off and why … Continue reading →

Not that kind of girl

Posted on 14 March, 2011 by nuttycow

A strange occurrence on Saturday. While attempting to stave off the ravages of jet lag (and, eventually failing, going to bed at 8:30pm and missing the Squire‘s birthday shindig) I sat on the sofa, half watching old episodes of CSI* and half keeping an … Continue reading →

People watching

Posted on 16 February, 2011 by nuttycow

Paddy, Alison and Andrew: Paddy had met Alison at University. He played rugby, she played netball. She was one of those girls who tried so hard but never really lived up to the standards of the team. They kept her … Continue reading →

I am won over

Posted on 14 February, 2011 by nuttycow

I know, I hate Valentine’s Day and all it stands for. I think that people should show love to their other halves every day, not just once a year. I think that it’s a great marketing ploy, forcing men to … Continue reading →

Growing up

Posted on 7 February, 2011 by nuttycow

With my 9th 21st birthday imminent and the escapades of the weekend still fresh in my memory, I’ve been thinking about growing up, getting older and bring responsible. Last week, Blonde wrote about how she feels like a fraud – … Continue reading →

A close call

Posted on 25 January, 2011 by nuttycow

Is it wrong that I saw this and I thought… Idiot! Married doesn’t have a capital letter when it’s not at the start of a sentence. It’s not a proper noun or the name of someone, is it? Oh, and … Continue reading →

It’s not you…

Posted on 17 January, 2011 by nuttycow

…no, actually, it is. This weekend has been a whirlwind of fun, but sometimes slightly odd, occurences. It all started on Friday at a party in the upper echelons of Lausanne (read, a bloody huge hill away). Three of my closest … Continue reading →

OWILF

Posted on 7 January, 2011 by nuttycow

“So which one are you going to go for?” the dwarf asked me. “They’re both trying it on, you know.” And I did know. And it confused me. It was 3:30am on new year’s day morning (and yes, I know, … Continue reading →

The wit to woo

Posted on 8 December, 2010 by nuttycow

Pinkjellybaby and I have been chatting all afternoon (ooh, the wonders of t’internet). Somewhat predictably (because, you know, it’s me and it’s her), the conversation has focused around men. And how we deserve better. Because men are evil. You get the picture. … Continue reading →
