Dear EP, Firstly, I must confess that I already wrote to Peaches Geldof about my little problem. I hope you don’t mind but I figured she’d kind of know where I’m coming from. I saw you wrote about her in your post What’s In A Name? and think it’s real funny you’re named after a […]

On the back of my latest post, the Pic of The Week in which I dismantle slightly the fall out of the Royal Wedding, I want to turn my attention to the deception of Photoshop. Sure, pictures of Hilary Clinton et al wearing Bea’s loo seat – HAT! Sorry, hat… – are funny, if a […]

The world’s gone hat crazy. Beatrice’s hat crazy to be precise. So, the last Pic of The Week honed in on their Royal Highnesses, Bea and Geniepops in their interesting outfit choices for that wedding.

On a one woman mission to broaden the nation’s vocabulary, EP brings you Word of The Week.

I wasn’t actually christened ‘Plum’, but that’s what I’ve been called since before my memory kicked in as an infant. I’m told that I was […]

This morning, I woke up thinking of The Beatles. There’s a reason for that, but it has little to do with the matter I wish to discuss here, so I’m not going to tell. Anyway, cerebrally looped into the various marvels their discography has to offer (I sang ‘I Am The Walrus’ while I brushed […]

A self-diagnosed word perv, EP’s take on the English language has garnered her an affectionate tagline among her friends: ‘Plumspeak’. On a one woman mission to broaden the nation’s vocabulary, EP brings you Word of The Week. This week’s linguistic gem is… Petrichor (pronunciation: pɛtrɨkər) Ever wondered whether there was a quicker way to describe […]

I’m sure Craig David’s a really nice guy. I’m sure he’s just the sort of affable, polite chap a girl wants to meet on the subway on a Monday. I’m sure that many appreciate his selection of beanie hats and admire his facial topiary with neatly manicured envy. I, however, don’t think any of these […]

There’s nothing like a trip to a museum when one’s feeling the thirst to learn something about something. Or perhaps, a little saunter down artefact alley to see with one’s own eyes pieces of history, a few world-famous brushstrokes or, if you like to bust out your inner geek now and then, an entire building […]
