We reckon you have until about the 4th of January of any year to crack out the phrase "Happy New Year!" So Happy New Year dear reader/s, we hope 2013 was a good'un and that 2014 will bring joy, intersectionality and cheaper electricity bills. 

We are kind of sick of new year's resolutions, so instead we decided to reveal our predictions for 2014, please refer back come 31st December 2014 to see how eeriely correct we were...

One of the things you will never hear me fondly reminisce about is communal changing rooms. Are you old enough to remember those? I think I caught the tail end of those horrors just as I hit 13 - though not puberty. The days of happily showing peers in the (temporarily, we were primary school kids) mixed sex changing rooms at Studley Swimming Pool the knicker trick (taking your pants off AFTER you'd put your costume on) were so over, the idea of even taking my top off in the communal changing rooms of Jeffrey Rogers (remember?) was anathema to me.
