Finding love in lockdown

March 14, 2021by Jono Read8 Comments
They say that you often find love when you’re least expecting it, and there is no truer evidence for that than how I met my girlfriend. When the coronavirus pandemic hit at the start of 2020 I decided it was time for a period of adjustment in my life.… Read on

Mental Health Awareness Week: Coping in lockdown

May 18, 2020by Jono Read12 Comments
Horses at Holt Country Park
A recent survey found 79% of those living with a mental health condition believed that the coronavirus and the lockdown measures have made things worse. I’m surprised it isn’t higher. Being locked away, unable to see friends and family, having summer cancelled, and staying in the same proximity over a long period of time is certainly not easy.… Read on

Figures out this week suggest that Tinder is pulling in more profit than ever, with more people shelling out for the premium service Tinder Gold. But while some are paying out something scandalous like £28 a month to find out who has liked them (and will probably never talk to them), it feels like its target audience is now shifting further away from young millennial and Generation Z users to a specific gullible audience willing to splash the cash.… Read on

January 6, 2019by Jono Read9 Comments
The writer of Channel 4’s new Brexit drama has claimed that viewers will finish the film believing the Vote Leave boss was either the “antichrist” or a “hero”.

Greg James’ new show demonstrates a change of direction for Radio 1

August 20, 2018by Jono Read9 Comments
Whisper it quietly but listening to Radio 1 Breakfast this morning I couldn’t help feeling that Greg James’ arrival heralded a change of direction for the radio station. Nick Grimshaw had a difficult task in the six years at the helm – expected to shaft older listeners while trying to chase a younger audience that seemed to shun radio – but it felt today like that was about to change.… Read on

Trying my hand at speed-dating…

February 11, 2018by Jono Read9 Comments
As some of you might have read previously, last year the single life led me to applying for First Dates. Partly because I wanted a piece of the magic, another part being a big fan of the programme. A few months back they called me back with an interest in getting me on the programme.… Read on

Las Vegas massacre brought out the worst of the internet

October 2, 2017by Jono Read8 Comments
As many tried to make sense of what had happened, in those first few hours after the Las Vegas shooting, social media went into overdrive.
