    An embarrasment of panda’s and other quirky animal nouns…

    by Irks and Quirks

    2 minute read. Ok, so how do I explain this post? It’s totally random but by now you’ve probably established this blog has somewhat quirky tendencies (and if you haven’t realised this, or you’re a new reader…hello! This blog has slightly quirky tendencies….so now you’re all caught up). …Anyway… …Have you ever been minding your own business browsing the internet and just suddenly wondered...

    Can we please talk about expiration dates? A mini-ish rant…

    by Irks and Quirks

    3 minute read. I promise I’m not disgusting. It’s just that (honest it’s not gross), sometimes (and by sometimes, I mean all the damn time), I eat produce past its best before date. The best before date was the 1st of the month, it’s the 6th of the month…and…I’m still eating that produce. Because it’s still good. Even though it’s days ‘out of date’....

  • 5 Coffees from around the world…

    by Irks and Quirks

    3 minute read. A famous philosopher once said, ‘A bad cup of coffee is most definitely better than none.’ I have two thoughts on this: I have yet to have a bad cup of coffee (this could be down to desperation and a willingness to settle for anything containing caffeine – read: addiction ) There is a slight chance I made up that quote,...

    5 favourite things about the 80s…

    by Irks and Quirks

    2 minute read. It is a truth universally acknowledged that the 80s has a hell of a lot to answer for. So, scrunchie your up perm into a high pony, pull your legwarmers up over your spandex athleisurewear (in any appropriate shade of retina-frying neon), EQ the bass on your boom box, and get ready to Jazzercize your way through this blog post. We’re...

    Happy Singles Awareness Day…

    by Irks and Quirks

    2 minute read. If you were part of a couple…Happy belated valentine’s day! If you weren’t and you shame-ate a box of heart-shaped chocolates in bed, then cry-drank a bottle of merlot over the kitchen sink (no? just…just me? Because if so…)…um………… …then congratu-freaking-lations you survived the most pressure-filled-romance day of the year and have safely made it through to Singles Awareness Day! A...

    Things I know because I’m old at heart…

    by Irks and Quirks

    …I’m…a millennial… But I’m an elder millennial, so it’s…different. I just feel some things were better in bygone days, and occasionally wish my adult years had taken place in the before times. Even my hobbies aren’t ‘young’…reminiscing of the days of old…being in bed at a decent hour…shaking my head in dismay at the antics of the young’uns…and most important of all…being in bed...

    The Veganuary Recapitulation…

    by Irks and Quirks

    Yep, it’s another Veganuary post (I’m just assuming there’s going to be a few at this time). In summary…nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be… …I mean, full disclosure, I’m already vegetarian (is that cheating?) so in some ways I feel like it was bound to be easier than a hard core carnivore ditching meat and dairy in one go. My...

  • The 5 things I like about exericising…

    by Irks and Quirks

    I’d like to preface this by saying I’m increasingly convinced that this whole enjoying exercise thing is a myth perpetuated by Big Gymnasium in order to keep us buying gym memberships. And when you actually stop to think about it…who is really benefiting from that membership you paid for but don’t use? Who?! Bet you’ve never thought about it that way before have you?...

    by Irks and Quirks

    If you know me, you may know I have a fondness for over exaggerating on occasion. I may make a mountain type of situation out of a molehill type of situation, and this…well, this situation probably isn’t going to be any damn different, sorry (but not really sorry). Now I know it’s just tea, but tea is a serious business M’kay? Here’s the deal....

    Resolutions I’d like some people to make…

    by Irks and Quirks

    A little late, but welcome to 2020! I hope your journey here was exactly how you imagined it would be! If you’re anything like me, you fell into a snack and champagne induced coma at 20:00hrs and had a what-the-damn-feck-where-the-heck-am-I moment at midnight when the fireworks started going off. Also, I have to say starting 2020 in a pool of drool (at least it...

Yep...

1. WTF? Seriously...What...the Actual...F***?!
2. Wash your damn hands people. And when this is a distant memory...lets keep up with the *basic* levels of hygiene we all should have been practicing all along m'kay?

This.
