I’m a pomade man. I wear it every day and it gives me the look that I desire. So when I received a missive from the interestingly named The Legends London, offering me the chance to test out their new hair gel, I had my doubts. Over the course of my life, my experience of […]
With Spring now here, it really is time to consider what to wear when the sun decides to show its face. I must admit to being something of a forward planner so such thoughts have been whirling around my over-active, confuddled and extremely warped mind for quite a few months. You see, I simply despise […]
I’ve been watching a lot of films recently. As I get older, I’m finding that my concentration levels are becoming more and more abysmal. If I’m going to commit to sitting in front of the idiot’s lantern for anything more than half an hour, then I need somebody to accompany me. Thankfully, I have my […]

One of the greatest pleasures for any chap or chapette is the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee permeating the air, wafting itself through the home and scintillating the senses. Even if you don’t even like the stuff, there’s something about the smell that is utterly divine. Strong and rich Coffee may not be considered […]
In which G.M. Norton considers just what makes the perfect gentleman and has a little fun creating his own. The lovely Prussia of In Loco Parentis recently took the time to leave a comment on my homage to Grace Kelly and she got me thinking. Especially now your favourite protagonist has made 2013 the Year […]
This past week or so, I discovered something that shocked me. It stopped me in my tracks and to be truthful, it made me quite sad. Well, for a few minutes, until I forced myself to snap out of it and accept the situation. You may now be wondering what on earth this discovery could […]
I enjoy writing so when the chance presents itself to pen a little something for a magazine, I readily accept the invitation. Not content with making it into one printed magazine though, I find myself in two at the same time. The first is for In Retrospect magazine. As regular readers may be aware, I’ve […]

With the advent of social media, Christmas is becoming an endless stream of photographs containing Christmas trees, turkey dinners and piles of presents to announce the sudden visit and departure of every pogonophile’s wet dream, Mr. Father Christmas. I’ve neglected to share such visual delights with people. Perhaps for fear of not having the best […]

In which G.M. Norton visits The Village (at least in his mind) I’ve recently started watching 1960’s television show, The Prisoner. For those unfamiliar, please allow me to give a brief outline of the story. So, the show begins with a secret agent, played by Patrick McGoohan, who resigns from his job. After returning to […]
