How I adapted to lockdown
In a way, I was made for a lockdown - I'm chubby, so I can last ages even if there were a food shortage, I worked from home at the time, and I enjoy my own company. I could keep myself entertained for endless hours without getting bored that rarely even involved masturbation.

Black and white thinking will ruin your life
My mother used the adage ‘life is a bitch, and then you die’ and continues to do so. I mean, life can be difficult, especially when we are anxious about the future and when the narrative that surrounds everything seems to make no sense.

And That Baby Grew Up To Be Albert Einstein
And that Baby Grew up to be Albert Einstein – Keith Duffy and Getting up the Duff OK so I thought I could go with a different type of tale today, so sit back, grab a cup of tea or get comfortable hiding in the jacks in work, whilst I regale you with a story of a day in my life of yesteryear. ‘Twas the summer of 2003, I was 21, on break from college before returning for my final year of my degree and working in town.

How to Manage Your Budget and Change Your Spending Habits
(The root of all our problems is avocado toast) Before I start getting into this article, let me just say that I am not here to preach. As a millennial who does not own my own home, I often hear older generations blame our spending and lifestyle because we cannot purchase a house. Millennials or most people on medium to low incomes are not crap with money, buying avocado toast, fancy coffees, and coats for dogs. Me writing this article isn’t about this. I am not here to patronize you about how you spend your money.
