AND SO IT IS - A TRYER BEFORE YOU BUYER BLOG

I have a blog, this is my blog, I am agog with blog.

And I know what you're thinking, blogs are a bit shite. Which is true, but I promise this riff-splaff will never be the anxst-ridden sob-ride or 2000 word extrapolation on fortune cookies that many seem to be. Rather this is to be an informative page of reviews. Reviews of anything at all. Imagine there is a restaurant you have always wanted to try, yet are still uncertain whether you want to splurdge £50 of you hard-earned monies without knowing for damned-near-certain that it's good. This is because you can't believe critics, they have an agenda. And you can ask me exactly what to try on the menu. I am spending money so you don't have to. Or some other vacuous sales-team nonsense.

You can then apply this formula to anything. Almost anything. I will only review things up to £50 and it must be within reason. I am not going to try frotting a red panda at the behest of some grubbly little filth-wizard. But I'll do suchlike as clothes, shops, recipes, bars, art, spa bollocks, cosmetics trash, adventure weekends, sports, sexual techniques, exceterah exceterah. And in all honesty. I can even do books, but I do books for a living, so if you send me your book and it is rubbish you have been warned.

I have written for food magazine Posh Nosh, the clothes horse that is Sunday Time Style, plus various online magazines, edited and submitted for the rumpypump madness of The Erotic Review and am now Assistant Editor at a global publishing house. I will only post if I have something to say, all I need from you lot is a challenge. Because if I have to sit here at my formica pod, discussing fonts and slowly growing a back-hump for another 3 years, without any kind of intrigue...  Well, I'm going to go postal.

So, anything you want me to try before you buy?
