I’m as big a fan of Cate Blanchett as the next person, but how can anyone’s career, as impressive as it may be, beat surviving 14 months at sea? That should have been the cover story.

No, Max Liu, it’s not just you. And it’s not just men, either – this happens to women, too. I’m 32 and single, with no plans to change, and my closest friends are all growing up and moving away, or absorbed by the demands of parenthood. I’ve confessed to them that I feel adrift and alone, and have been astonished to find out that, even with families and new homes, many of them – men and women alike – feel exactly the same.

I tell my husband to work harder on his friendships or people will start leaving him out. When we nearly split before our wedding, I was able to talk to friends; he had no one he could offload on. The biggest killer of men in their 30s is suicide, and I have no doubt that’s related to them not working at their friendships.

Josh Ostrovsky is proud to have been “one of the first people on the internet to sit in food”. Would that we all had such purpose in life.

I found Tim Dowling’s column implausible. What man would rather cook a meal instead of ordering a takeaway?

So Ice-T feels unhappy about “injustice”, but would like his superpower to be “to get away with murder” . Anyone else see the contradiction?

A brilliant article by Bridget Christie on Lloyd Webber and his fat cat mates , but she shouldn’t feel guilty about having a garden. It’s only a garden, not 200 acres of deer park.

Please ask Bim Adewunmi to acquire a crush on Ashley Walters. What a sweetie he sounds.

I laughed so much at the Berger & Wyse Feedback cartoon, I began to fear I had a medical condition. Please don’t do this again.
