Flat whites were introduced in the UK several years ago and I always assumed it was just another thing the UK had imagined continental Europe probably does for sleepy-time coffee or something.

This happened to an old roommate of mine. Minus the MC bit. She met a guy in a bar we went to a lot, and he was the most perfect gentleman, we were all enamoured with him, especially as she normally had a terrible taste in men.

Although any animal on the endangered species list is sad and I am a big fan of the insect world, I've always regarded butterflies with much side-eye.

In the last decade I've had fewer and fewer reasons to be proud of my country, especially after I moved away and got to see it from outside. But then women like her come along, and I have hope for the Netherlands yet.

I'm so fucking done with 2014.

Yes yes yes!!! I LOVE Sex Criminals. It manages to be funny and charming as well as poignant and I don't think I've ever read a comic that describes my experiences with sex and relationships better than that. I love it so hard. Also, the letters page is brilliant, and their semi-regular section of advice by a…

I think it is because the word 'vulva' is the one your mum uses when she tells you about the birds and the bees and how things work. And if not your mum, it will be used by the hippy in the whole foods store to make some passive aggressive point about how you're not in tune with your 'vulva'. I cannot technically…

I'm glad someone else said this. I'd be so bored if this was happening at a wedding. Besides the appearance of a veil, what the hell does this have to do with a wedding? It's just new husband doing a dance like he does at work every day. Surely NO ONE who knows that dude is impressed by that anymore?

I didn't think anyone in the world was still waiting for more Muse.

The first sentence of that article made me go 'Hey! that's where my sister lives!' and then the sinking realisation what the article is about 'oh no...'

I'd assume out of that hole comes lots of uncontrollable saliva. Nothing says 'I'm doing great in life' than constant saliva cheeks.

I was in exactly this position last year.

All of Shonda's shows depend on the idea that people continuously say 'I am the BEST at my job' and other people saying 'He/She is the BEST in their field', and then actively disproving that. None of the doctors in Grey's Anatomy should be doctors, Olivia Pope should not do her job, whatever her job actually is (I…

I grew up in the Netherlands and never understood the beans on toast thing, because the beans we have are definitely more watery and for stews and such, but then I moved to the UK and the beans are in thicker sauce and cheesy beans on toast is genuinely the most comforting thing. Also; an english breakfast means you…

No they're not hash browns, those are the triangles at the top. Those look like potato waffles to me, and they are gross. Everything else on that plate is great though.

I was reading this article at work. The title on my browser tab says 'Gay Dads Touching'. My boss wandered behind me and laughed at my daring browsing habits at work... *sigh*

I remember this! I mostly remember this because I'd just started learning the guitar and I had been a limp bizkit fan for a few months and although realistically I knew there was no way they'd hire a 13 year old who could play 2 power-chords with much concentration to be in their (in my opinion at that time) BEST EVER…

Actually that reminds me of Jonathan Ames' books in which he describes his friend Patrick Bucklew and his 'mangina' invention. It describes how Bucklew feels super powerful when his genitals have been arranged to mimic a vagina. I think it's definitely a sexual thing rather than just weird fashion.

As a Dutch woman in the UK, this does not surprise me much Especially not the 'lady bits' part of the story. Coming from a country where sex is talked about without much shame, I've realised that Brits are much less forthcoming in these matters. It has led to many embarrassing moments...
