		<description><![CDATA[I work from home. It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.  Putting together the things people who work in an office have said to me recently, this is how they imagine my average day. I get up at ten o’clock, sit at the computer for an hour in my jocks (always in my jocks) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My cooking is in a rut. I can remember a time when I was trying out a new kind of dish every other week; now I just churn out the same four or five dishes every week. That’s the slippery slope. I’m 44 now, an age when you start to get very sensitive about the [...]]]></description>

The Returned Emigrant Dave is bitter after being ‘forced to go and live’ in Australia last year because there were no jobs for people with a Masters in Greek and Roman Civilisation.

		<description><![CDATA[Picture this. It’s the final day of the British Open next year and Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington have a putt each on the 18th green to claim the championship. Whose putt do you want to drop? If you say McIlroy, then you’re lying. Or from Northern Ireland. In which case, congratulations, because right now [...]]]></description>
