Make a Move

Heartbreak. Not a nice feeling, is it?

My friend Amy's solution is to go out and "kiss a boy". To me, it always seemed a bit stupid - like putting salt in the wound. What if the new boy you kissed didn't call you? Surely, then you'd be even more depressed.

But, recently, after a particularly bad break up, she dragged me out to a City bar and said we weren't leaving until I'd locked lips. Some poor sod eventually obliged, and frankly, I did wake up the next morning with a spring in my step. Kissing - or snogging, as you Brits call it - really is one of the all-time great pastimes.

All the more reason to be excited about the Flash Snog. We've been hearing about flash mobs for years now, but never felt particularly eager to get involved - in London, we have enough crowds. But a Flash Snog - now that's something we can get behind.

Organised by the Dry Spell Institute, this FM follows the usual format (meet at Liverpool street station at 3:08 on Saturday), but this time you'll kiss instead of rave for two minutes.

Before you singles get too excited, the Flash Snog organisers are pretty adamant that it's couples only, so if the person you fancy hasn't got the hint yet, this link might be the ticket.

    {mosimage}

    So Apple launched their new store in Covent Garden over the weekend – it’s certainly gorgeous: all original stone archways and lashings of modern steel to match the svelte iGadgets that we covet so. And maybe now the ‘improved’ Genius Bar will actually be able to fit us in when everything goes techno-t*ts-up..

  • i-Cant Take Anymore

    {mosimage}

    Marvellous as it may be, technology has yet to become truly holiday friendly. Sure iPads can tell you the state of the stock markets, but they certainly can’t keep themselves afloat. So for your perfect vacation companion, head down to your newsagents tomorrow and invest in a copy of the inaugural MONOCLE newspaper.

  • UJ Dates

    Is it a terrible idea to talk about sex on a first date? How far should a dating agency go to make our romantic dreams come true? And just how long should you wait before you give in and text? Urban Junkies’ token singleton embarks on a quest to test the capital’s top dating agencies and find ‘the one’. Or a ‘one’. Or anyone. Hey, times are tough. But then so is our girl.
