When you look at your feet and find a penny on the ground, the wise thing to do is pick it up. Now usually, a penny isn't worth much anymore, but keep it in your pocket and you never know - you might have yourself a lucky day. But let's…

As we clink glasses and cheer as December definitively turns into January and a lot of calendars suddenly become obsolete, a lot of people think about how they want the next 12 months of their life to go, and the vast majority want to improve things in some way. Write…

Over the last six months or so, Facebook and social media has been overloaded with videos of systemic racial injustice laid bare. In neighbourhoods, grocery stores, restaurants and more, people of colour have been uploading footage of the people who've called the police on them for seemingly no reason. Just…

Ladies and gentlemen, pizza is a lot of things. Delicious, cheesy, saucy, versatile, portable; the list goes on - I could go on all day about my love for pizza - but one thing that this legendary dish is not is useful. Sure, pizza is delicious, and useful in the…

We've all got different tastes and palates, but while the internet is inundated with fiery debates on the merits of mushrooms and pineapple on pizza (for the record, it's an emphatic no from me on both counts), I think we can all agree on the fact that chocolate is awesome.…

I don't know about you guys, but I think that getting a well-priced decent haircut is one of life's most difficult challenges. Finding a job and a relationship that make you feel good is hard, sure, but finding a person who can cut your hair is a bond for life…

I don't think it's too much of an exaggeration to say that Kristen Bell is the absolute best. Just in case you didn't catch her in Veronica Mars or Forgetting Sarah Marshall (in which case, you're totally missing out because she's great in both of those), you were admiring her…

This year, I think it's a pretty sure bet that a lot of the New Year's Resolutions you'll hear over the next few days have to do with healthy eating. When you consider how many plant-based diets are popping up all over the place, there's a good chance you'll be…

When it comes to points of discussion or triggers of outrage, there's no more volatile arena of debate that the various social media channels of Kim Kardashian. It feels like every week on her Instagram story or Twitter feed, there's something new for us to talk about, and while it's…

Every January, I get a pretty solid reminder that although I'd like to be a stronger, more disciplined person, I end every December and begin the New Year as same old me. Over the years, I've tried to set myself New Year's Resolutions, and they've slowly grown more vague, existential…

What's it like, I wonder, to be Piers Morgan? On the one hand, you're a prominent journalist, known for your work on the Mail Online and Good Morning Britain (among other things), and you've got a very healthy Twitter following of around 6.5 million people. On the other hand, it…

Ah, Arby's. What can I say about you that hasn't been said many, many times before? While it doesn't have the appeal of a McDonald's, a Burger King or a KFC, there's a certain appeal about heading to Arby's and picking up a roast beef sandwich, happy in the knowledge…

The English language is full of beautiful phrases, but is there any phrase that can bring you greater happiness than "free food for life"? I'll answer that: no, there isn't. Food, of course, is awesome, and when you don't have to pay for it, that layer of removed guilt unlocks…

2018 was a long, dark and difficult year, but toward the end of it, we saw some hope at the end of the tunnel. I already turn to Oreo in times of trouble, and toward the back end of last year, those inimitable sandwich cookies gave me something to look…

2018 was a memorable year for a lot of companies, people and social institutions, but one place that the history books won't look so kindly on this past year was the wasteland of social media. While Mark Zuckerberg stood in front of Congress and Facebook came under fire for compromising…

Argue with me if you like, but I think that if it's late at night, you're feeling too lazy to cook but you want something messy, meaty and greasy, Taco Bell is the perfect way to get over those hunger pangs. Cheese, ground-up beef, a collection of different flavours in…

In Australia, the second half of last year was plagued with a genuine fruit crisis, as an astonishing number of sabotage attempts were discovered in all six states of the nation. Starting back in September, grocery store customers were shocked to find needles in fruits such as strawberries and mangoes,…

Ah, Gordon Ramsay. When it comes to the world of celebrity chefs, there's nobody more recognisable, nor more watchable, than the 52-year-old host of Hell's Kitchen, Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares, and more. Over the past couples of decades, nobody's given us as many soundbites, as many glorious burns. I'm sure I…
