 The Edge hasn’t got a lot of faith in the result of surveys because (a) generally the people who’re being asked to participate are the great unwashed, and (b) refer to answer ‘A’ - so it was no surprise to learn that, apparently, the Brummy accent is the least cool regional accent in the entire UK.
Oh no it frigging well isn’t! And anyway, The Edge has just carried out a similar survey (by interviewing itself) and discovered that, in fact, it’s the Scouse accent that is the most annoying accent in the entire revolving world.

 This month I have mainly been loving the screams of anguish I've been hearing due to the ‘credit crunch’. Some people may call me a heartless bastard, and I'll freely admit to that. But the thing of it is, I really don't care. Yes, I'm well aware that this is causing many people severe problems - possibly even complete ruin in certain cases - but despite that, I still don't care because I honestly think we need it. |

 Anyone who thinks I live a charmed life, think again. Not only do I have Him Indoors to contend with, I also have a son who has just turned into a ‘teenager from hell’.
Shucks, yes, I know, I don't look old enough to have a 13 year old son...
Well, I've managed to keep him hidden for the past few years, on account of the fact that someone once tried to kidnap him.

 Gentlemen, a quick announcement: there is no such thing as ‘The Girl Next Door’. She does not exist.
I am sorry to have to be the one to burst your bubble if you are a romantic soul, but there it is. The truth may hurt, but the truth will set you free.
I’ve been ill this past month; a victim of fashion - I caught the bug that everyone who matters has been sporting this season. When I am ill, my viewing standards drop to a level that can best be described as adolescent. I suddenly crave the one genre of film sweet enough to make the medicine go down - Rom Coms. I have an entire sub-section of my DVD collection devoted to them and over the past few 14 days I have been supporting the declining economy in search of more. There is nothing like a happy ending to cheer you up when you’re facing your own mortality via drowning in a pile of Kleenex.

 When I was asked out to dinner by none other than the editor himself, how could I possibly resist? It was even more of a bonus that he chose The Alma as I was curious to see what it was like after it’s recent ownership change, writes Faye Cullinane.
I have never known Chelmsford without The Alma. I think people forget about it as it is tucked away from the town centre, but to forget about it completely would be absolutely scandalous!

 I put a tooth under my pillow last night and this morning it was still there; no money had been left in its place. Had the Tooth Fairy forgotten me? Or is it simply that the Tooth Fairy doesn’t exist?
If I write to Father Christmas, care of the North Pole, asking for a modest present; a pair of socks, perhaps, why will I be disappointed on Christmas morning? Because, sadly, Father Christmas doesn’t exist either, no matter how much we wish he did.

 After all the worry about being made redundant and surviving the credit crunch, it turned out I was out of work for just one week before I started a brand new job.
I got it, in part, due to a fellow Chelmsfordian who told me about a vacancy and got me an interview. I've now been there for two weeks and I'm very much the new girl. I'm learning the ropes of a very different job in a completely different industry and environment - I've moved from DVDs into clothing! Whilst it's still early days, I really do think I’m going to be OK. One thing's for sure, the people are lovely. It's quite a small company and very relaxed - even the M.D. sits amongst us in the open plan office and gets involved in the tea rounds.

 In the news recently an idea was put forward that made you sit up and take notice immediately. It was probably meant to be provocative, and boy, did it succeed. The idea, like many a loony proposition, emanated from a 'think tank'.

 What an excellent example of hypocrisy and media hype! It seems poor Andrew Sachs may be about to get a lot more attention than he ever deserved off the back of the Brand/Ross Radio2 screw up. Georgina Baillie may be a victim within the events that have unfolded, but she is certainly not adverse to creating her own controversy. |

 This is Kristina Rihanoff - lucky John Sergeant’s partner on Strictly Come Dancing - and might it not be that she is ‘the perfect woman’?
Seriously, The Edge reckons she could just be.
Think about a car and how you might change it’s design here and there, only from what I’m seeing, The Edge wouldn’t change a damn thing.
