Here in Barcelona, it's the architects who built the buildings that made the city iconic who are the objects of admiration - not a bunch of half-witted monarchs.

One Christmas build-up tradition, however, has totally bypassed me - that of going up to town and doing a show.

When a man wants to relax, he will slob out and really relax. Or he will pursue a hobby - anything from building models to watching sport.

Having 'best friends' is - at least for me - as outdated and small-minded a concept as the idea of 'Sunday best clothes.'

Intersectionality may well sound like some unfortunate bowel complaint resulting in copious use of a colostomy bag, and indeed it does contain a large amount of ordure.

I'll declare my own interest right here at the start and admit that, like the vast majority of people, I find youthful looks appealing.

Only those who haven't got the wit to speak for themselves would ever want their clothes to do it for them.
