We love a good night out. No really, we do. If it involves drink and dancing then we're definitely interested. Thing is, usually there has to be a little something extra to make us put on our crippling heels and slap on some concealer. And that reason, as presented… read more…

Here at Glitterditch, we don't like to get too political. It's sad, but politics is often less funky than we'd wish. And when things get a little groovy, it's usually down to a Burlesconi or a Bill Clinton or -- dare we say -- a Boris. Which is highly… read more…

Sweden: land of Abba, frisky blonde birds and saunas. Sometimes enjoyed all at once. What a heritage eh? Somehow our favourite flavour of Scandinavian manages to transcend traditional cool and do things their own sweet way. So we don't mind learning that their entry for the Eurovision Song Contest… read more…

Call your gran. Go. Call her. And while you're at it, why not get in touch with other long-lost members of your family as well? It's as good a time as any. Glitterditch is in a panic at the moment because we've been reading far too many news stories… read more…

We're flying high on the aviation theme today. Much like Rocket Man. And no, not Elton John's Rocket Man. Like crazy Swiss Icarus, Yves Rossy. Now that's how skydiving should be done. You may keep your freefall and skysurf: we want our mini jet engine! And really, if you… read more…

Singing along to guitar strumming is one thing. Writing a fantastic tune quite another. Guitar toting singer-songwriters sometimes give musicians a bad name. Like those loveable but tuneless scamps who strum their battered acoustics while hogging Underground busking spots. And contribute to air pollution. Wedding bands have their fair share… read more…

Hold on to your sunhats people. We are about to sneeze. Bless us, thank you. Ah, incipient summer. The London pollen count's not looking too dangerous. Though the weather seems to be softening up in time to our running eyes, we are not complaining. Hayfever's the yin to summer's… read more…

Don't you just hate it when you miss out on the limelight? Our sources have it that there was a cute little seal in the Thames on Wednesday, and Glitterditch would have liked to point you to a picture of it. Unfortunately, the press aren't interested in wildlife any… read more…
