Hail Shortlist. Previously, I'd never seen this free weekly rag as anything more than toilet paper for hard-up London students. This morning I read an exclusive. An exclusive only because of the frequency at which articles like this are published; nine unadulterated columns of press dedicated to this pressing male issue. Depression.
I imagine this is what Beethoven felt like after he put down his quill having shaded in the last semiquaver on his Ninth Symphony, simultaneously inviting a musical maverick street urchin to play it back to his good ear. Stick a fork in me, I'm done.
Don't want to sell myself short here, I've been saying it for years but Andrew Dickens says it so much better: "I'd always feared stigma; as with any 'new' condition, humans are sceptical, lumbering towards understanding it like a gorilla who's just been introduced to flat-pack furniture."
It's just a coincidence it was published on April 1st, I think.
