As regular readers of this periodical will know, I do enjoy sitting down to watch a film or three. Last week, I found myself in the rare circumstance where I was home alone for a couple of hours. Naturally I didn’t waste this opportunity and settled down with early 90s thriller, The Fugitive. I’m yet […]
A couple of weeks ago, I made the decision to leave my position as Editor-at-Large at In Retrospect magazine. I’ve mentioned the magazine on this periodical before. In fact, I’ve dedicated entries centred completely on the printed publication. Before being asked to join the editorial team, I was a contributor from the very beginning going […]
Can you believe it? Today, this electronic periodical turns the grand old age of six years old. In blogging years, that’s quite something. I must be honest and confess that when I revealed my battle with depression last year, I wasn’t sure how long Norton of Morton would continue for. I decided that I would […]
I’m not feeling my usual self, chumrades. For a few weeks now, I’ve been hiding away from the world and getting lost in my own thoughts. I get like this from time to time. There has been radio silence on the Twittering Device and very little activity on Instagram. Yet I can’t completely hide. I […]

In order to look one’s best; one must have a well-stocked bathroom cabinet. Colognes, a manly safety razor, pomade and horn comb all take pride of place, along with other items such as tweezers and skincare products. Yes, that’s right – men need to look after their skin too. As I don’t have my own […]

I was busy being late to an appointment the other day, while raising my eyebrows in surprise and chuckling to myself. Then I had an epiphany. I could think of five things that every would-be gentleman needs. And here they are. 1. A watch A gentleman should always try to be punctual so a […]
In which G.M. Norton examines the history of a classic men’s hairstyle. Fear not, dear reader – this post will not be a pictorial insight into some of my more embarrassing hairstyles.

Upon visiting their webular site, I was struck by the sheer variety of gifts on offer and at prices that aren’t too taxing on the old bank balance. They have gifts for both him, her and home, […]
