Reviews: a review
Australian writer Clive James (below) passed away at the end of last year. As a career critic, he was famous for his deadpan style and wry sense of humour. He made reviewing an art. Several years ago we also lost AA Gill. Another career critic, he will forever be remembered for his often scathing reviews of numerous aspects of culture; television, restaurants, society etc. Such a man could bring ideas crushing to the ground. But are these men of a bygone era? The relationship between marketing and reviews in the modern age is an interesting one.

A cynical look ... at my cynical look ... at New Year's Resolutions
I’ve never had a New Year’s resolution. That is because I’ve always had a cynical attitude towards them. I feel if there’s something about your life that you feel you need change, change it!! Why do you have to wait until New Year? And on top of that, people hardly ever keep them anyway. They really are completely pointless in my eyes.
