Last week I made a very silly video in support of Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day; I asked* Dexter, my dog, to do my makeup. He did a pretty good job, considering he doesn’t have any fingers, though you’ll have to watch the video and decide for yourselves. Lots of Youtubers took part in a campaign called #RedOut, which…
See what I did there? Christmas Tittle Tattle! It’s Christmas, but it’s also a Sunday, so I’ve done a little combo title. Utter genius. I hope that you’re all having a wonderful day already, whether you celebrate Christmas or not – I’m writing this in advance, for obvious reasons, and am no doubt at this moment…
I intended to do a series of vlogs running up to Christmas (a practice commonly known as “vlogmas”) but – unsurprisingly – I only managed one. So here it is, my one and only Vlogmas 2016. Highlights include a personal dining experience in my own home, courtesy of Hugo Boss (it really was quite brilliant!) and the…
This post is rather niche, so my apologies in advance. If you don’t have a dog then you’ll probably want to simply go no further and – perhaps, if you’re after more reading material – click on over to the new post I’ve written on The Uphill. If you have a dog and you can get it…
If you’re a long-term AMR reader then you might remember the days when the Sunday Tittle Tattle was a random mess of nonsense, spattered with crap pictures and trailing off into a couple of pet photos to keep the animal-lovers satisfied. Things seem to have become more long-winded and wordy recently, but I suppose that the Sunday post is…
Here it is, better late than never: a video of my pets. Dexter and the Bear. It should be Mr Bear, really, but that doesn’t have quite the same ring to it! What a rigmarole it was, trying to get them both behave for the camera – when the dog wasn’t licking the cat, the cat was…
1) Goddamn you NowTV and your continuing encouragement of television-watching marathons: not only have you started showing the American series Girls, which I have always been keen to get started on, but you keep sending me emails that – if I didn’t know better – could be written by Satan’s very own hand. Listen to this for…
1) If you fancy being in with a chance of winning a five night stay in an incredible hotel, get voting for your favourite places to stay in the Smith Hotel Awards 2014. I book most of my trips through Mr & Mrs Smith and pretty much everywhere I’ve stayed has been amazing, so I’m finding it quite…
1) Oh, the World Cup. Are we lovers of the football, dear readers, or are we indifferent? I have a bit of a “sports noise” phobia; I can’t stand the sound of football and racing cars and so on when it’s on in the background in my own house. For some reason, I find it…
1) Thank you for your marvellous suggestions on yesterday’s “Celebrities who have hair like my Dog” post. Meg Ryan is already in the planned line-up and there are also a couple of quite brilliant surprise suggestions from Mr AMR; hopefully I’ll be able to squeeze about ten or maybe even fifteen posts out of this…
Forgive the random pet post, but this whole dog-owning business is new to me and I feel that my steep-learning-curve-experience requires at least some minimal documenting. And yesterday was a bit of a first: travelling with a puppy into central London. I’ve never had to be responsible for anyone in central London, let alone a small…
