    I'm playing around with a computer program, usually operated by a smartly-dressed dermatologist with razor-sharp cheekbones. On a big screen, I can adjust the controls to show how my face would look, enhanced by skin softeners, fillers, or Botox. I turn up all the settings to the max.

    I’m moving out of my flat on Thursday. The van comes at nine and my wordly goods will go to Somerset, and my leaden heart will follow in my new motor car. I say new, it’s £2000 quid twenty year old E class Mercedes that I found on eBay and bought from a very nice British Asian gentleman in Wembley at 11pm last Sunday night. The guy was so very nice I figured his car must be nice too. I try not to give advice here, but I’m going to give some for free now.

In a game of snog, marry, shoot in the head, I’d be hard pushed to choose. Which one most deserves the bullet, and which one most deserves their tongue bitten out at the root, and which one deserves the ultimate nightmare: being married to me. https://t.co/QVgo9bTLk2 KITTENS!

I had a go at a carnivore eating. A habit and lifestyle I had long ago assigned to nutters and extremists. The results were unfortunate. And I may have to eat my words, with dripping. https://t.co/DspC7OkpD0

Selfies, “Man shouldn’t be able to see his own face, there’s nothing more sinister. Only in the water of ponds could he look and the posture he had to assume was symbolic...to bend over to commit the ignominy of beholding himself. The inventor of the mirror poisoned the heart”
