Confessions of a Quidnunc

Posted 12:55pm Sunday 3rd May 2015

Passive aggressive behaviour can make for a miserably infuriating existence. Living with passive aggressive flatmates is the worst, but being the passive aggressive flatmate is exponentially more troubling. As the fair and forever-on-the-fence sleuth that I am, I compiled a list of stories from both Read more...

Dior and I

Posted 3:17pm Sunday 19th April 2015

Rating: 4/5 When it comes to documentaries, I’m not a huge fan. It is no surprise then that I went into the cinema with considerably low expectations and the unnerving feeling that I was about to fail miserably at another test for ma classe française. Dior and I follows the Read more...
