Who doesn’t love a funny lady? We at TMC have a particular weakness for girls who make us laugh, and there’s nothing funny about that. So when we got the chance to meet the marvellous Zoe Lyons in the flesh, we jumped at it. Zoe headlined at Laughing Cows, a monthly line-up of some fabulously funny women, and after a pretty fab warm-up by the preceding acts, she managed to end the night to raucous laughter.

Over the last few years, it’s become something of a cliché to argue that the modern web (a.k.a. web 2.0) is transforming the way we interact. This happens to be one of those clichés which is, to a large extent, true. It would nigh on impossible to deny that things like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter are having the sort of radical impact which extends far beyond the internet and into society at large. … Continue Reading

There are many viable and legitimate reasons to love Jane Lynch. For me, most of them now revolve around eight or so perfectly delivered lines of scathing dialogue every Monday night from nine on E4. For others, perhaps a willingness to speak candidly about her personal life despite Hollywood pressure to keep schtum (and straight) does the trick. And for some latecomers to Lynch-ville, maybe it’s just because she verbally kicked Obama’s gay-marriage-ban-allowing ass a few weeks ago … Continue Reading

Oh those resolutions, that you made in a drunken haze of fireworks, vomit and left over Christmas cheer. This year it will all be different you cried to yourself, your confidence bolstered by narcotics. This year you’ll transform! … Continue Reading

So…your job sucks. Your job is a black hole of despair. Your co-workers are colourless, planktonian freaks and the amount of animosity you feel towards your boss can only be articulated with reference to traumatic childhood experience. You have taken to paying a colleague to spray you with water at hourly intervals, such is the coma-inducing nature of your schedule. It’s time to escape. It’s time to get out. … Continue Reading

True facts about lesbians: we all have rainbow flags hung around our houses like wallpaper. We’ve read every single book by Virginia Woolf – ten times over. We love Pink, and have all been to every gig she ever did (even in Australia – it’s expensive being gay). Each and every lez has five pairs of dungarees in her cupboard in yellow, red, blue and white colourways – and black for special occasions. … Continue Reading

It’s that time of year again; odd German markets that only ever exist when it’s cold, winter wonderlands and the requisite bruises that accompany them (ice skating folks, ice skating) and – relevantly for this week’s Top Ten – more inadvisable hangovers than you can shake a litre bottle of Jack Daniels at. Why? Because it’s Christmas party season. … Continue Reading
