    148. The middle of the middle

    There’s a particular kind of humility that comes from being assigned seat 28E. The middle. The mathematical centre of other people’s discomfort, for thirteen hours, from Los Angeles to Aotearoa.

On spying an autumn coloured beautiful young french man, mustard cords,bottle green jacket, small brown scarf, slight gentleman air: Stu: I’m really liking that look. I may go for that kind of thing. Jill: (confused) You’re kind of already doing that look.…

    9. Stairway to heaven

    An article in this weekend’s  Sunday Times confirmed yet another reason to keep yourself on high ladies: an Italian academic recently concluded that high heels may physically help women to have orgasms. A urologist  by the name of  Maria Cerruto discovered that a couple of extra inches down there can twang your lady bits like…
