Articles: 2016

 * If McDonald's food really is bringing the antibiotics apocalypse nearer, then only vanity can save us - It's not just about being worthy. It's also about not becoming a 28-stone human flesh mountain - 12th August
 * Never brash but always hilarious, Caroline Aherne was a mouldbreaker for British comedy - The creator of Mrs Merton and The Royle Family paved the way for comedians and writers including Sacha Baron Cohen and Steve Coogan - 3rd July
 * Prince was strangely dangerous, artistically original - and outrageously erotic - His colour was purple, his name was mythical and he carried his diminutive frame with incredible grandeur - 21st April
 * It’s official: life really is speeding up – to the benefit of us all - We must develop new skills. The first is self-control – an ability to pause - 25th March
 * I'm glad people - including David Bowie - are starting to opt out of their own funerals. It's about time - There is a lot to be said for this minimalist option, not least cost; direct cremation costs £1,000, even the simplest funeral and cremation is upward of £3,000 - 18th March
 * A gesture of goodwill costs very little – but its true value can be incalculable - A refused good will gesture makes easyJet look foolishly thrifty at best, rude at worst - 11th March

 * Bling is so last decade. Now everyone wants their own bourgeois bunker - Farrow & Ball paint? Check. Playroom? Check. Home office? Yep - 26th February
 * Straight croissants? We’ve got so much to learn from our Gallic neighbours - The French invented the notion of luxury and ensured it remained just that - 19th February
 * If women are too polite to mention the M-word we’ll never erase the pay gap - Some women are so keen to be nice they confuse a chat about salaries as rudeness - 12th February
 * Fare dodging, tax evasion, laundering money - why not? Fraud is only dumb if you get caught - Why not take a little bit extra for yourself? You're worth it - 5th February
 * At 29, we’re just pretending to be busy. Then the real work begins... - No kids, no aged parents, no tax return: you don’t know you’re born - 29th January
 * We trust our MPs less than our hairdressers – that’s exactly how it should be - Democracy does not mean absolute trust in a Beloved Leader - 22nd January
 * At £150-a-head, the Queen’s 90th birthday party is turning into a right royal PR disaster - Why would a charity want to shell out £1,500 for a table for just 10 people? - 15th January
 * I’ve done my risk assessment - nope, I won’t be giving up the booze - The notion of absolute teetotalism in this society is frankly unworkable - 8th January
 * How can you switch off if you go to work in the same clothes you wear to bed? - Sales of loungewear are up by 29 per cent, according to John Lewis - 1st January

 * Time-wasting is considered one the great sins of the modern age. In fact, it's something we should all do more of - Yes, you could always arrive just in time to catch a plane. But that's no way to live life - 1st June

 * Why is it considered such a scandal for young children to spend long days at school? Often it’s a lot better for them than being at home - The Association of Teachers and Lecturers needs to get real - 15th April
 * Is television bad for kids? No more so than the theatre - I grew up without a TV, and don't think cold turkey did me any good - 1st April
