DO you sometimes feel the Guardian’s hard news jars with its endless lifestyle wank? Let’s sample a selection.
‘Risk of nuclear war in next 48 hours’ and ‘Am I a feminist for letting my wife choose my socks?’
Washington fears Armageddon is all but inevitable following the latest Putin threats. Meanwhile, am I oppressing my wife by leaving it to her to buy my socks from M&S, or am I a truly modern man for letting her be boss?

‘Oceans to reach boiling point by 2027’ and ‘How do I tell my Asian friends I don’t like curry?’

Also, rather than endless dishes with cumin and turmeric, would just a plain cheese flan be too much to ask for, and am I racist for assuming South Asian people like curry anyway?
