Accused: Series Two Begins – Dork Review
Today on Dork Adore: I review Accused, a proper BBC drama, with powerful acting, real-life issues and a firm grasp on the fundamentals of storytelling! I suspect our Beloved Editor gave me this assignment because she sensed my growing frustration reviewing Sinbad, a show which is the opposite of all … [Read more...]
Geek Nail Art: Rubik’s Cube Tutorial
Our favourite Italian nail art blogger, Roslion90, has just posted a brilliantly geeky nail art how-to. Really, there can't be a nerd over the age of 28 who wouldn't rather fancy Rubik's Cube nails. There's a worrying chance that there are some nerds under the age of 28 who aren't entirely … [Read more...]
Sinbad: Episode Seven – Dork Review
This week on Sinbad, our relentlessly half-naked hero returns to Basra to confront the demons of the pilot episode, save his grandmother, kill the aspiring despot and... actually resolve most storylines.

Knit your own Clanger!
I was tempted to write all of this piece in Clangerish, but somehow I suspect writing "wooo, wo woo, woowo wo" repeatedly might lead me to out-stay my welcome on the internet (and let's face it, I'm only here under duress for many people as it is). The fact that a free and totally authentic … [Read more...]

I mean, I "need" a dental check, but you don't see me posting pictures of teeth on my Pinterest page, do you? No. So without further ado, here's a round up of all the good Star … [Read more...]
Panning for Internet Gold: The owl jockey edition
Ah, internet. Without those rusty old tubes, almost nobody would know whether a Slow Loris liked to be tickled. Rebecca Black would choose her car seat without intervention and millions would have no idea of the existence of these nested Avengers dolls (below). But who has the time to find the … [Read more...]
Sinbad: The Siren – Dork Review
In previous weeks, I’ve referred to Sinbad as “bad” or synonyms of such, and I’m a little concerned I might have lessened the impact of negative language by leaping in with this so soon. Because this week’s episode of Sinbad could be the worst yet. I know I normally use this space to outline what … [Read more...]
Lovehoney Magic Wand Review: Mains-powered pleasure device
"If you're going to get a vibrator, you want something that plugs into the mains" Those were the wise words of advice handed to me by an older, more knowledgeable sex toy aficionado when I was a teenager. I've clung to that information ever since (although Hollie-Anne may disagree after … [Read more...]
Free Pattern: Morgana from Merlin’s knitted fingerless gloves
It's fairly safe to say we're REALLY excited about the new series of Merlin and Doctor Who (but you already knew that, right?!) So what better way to get our geek hands flapping than with a spot of Merlin-inspired geek craft? If you haven't already got your Bella-inspired Twilight Mittens … [Read more...]
