15 Miles Home

It was how you had always pictured it, how the whole idea of going to University and living independently had been sold in. A big house, living with your best mates, sitting up to 2am and beyond chatting nonsense, watching films and playing games. Everyone and anyone would drop by, there was always a place …

Next Generation of Friends

As a kid, and it's probably not hard to believe, I wanted to know everything about the films and shows I loved. Watching was never enough. I scoured the facts and goofs posted on IMDb taking them in as if gospel. An obsession that wouldn't truly take hold until my discovery of the show; Friends. …
