Kinder Trauma

In the past, long before the invention of song-recognition apps like Shazam, people would enter record shops and ask the assistant "Have you got the one that goes …" A similar thing is happening here with horror movies, as correspondents sketch out a few details of some film they saw as a child and the readers attempt to guess what it is. Apart from these "Name That Trauma" sessions, the rest of this wonderful site concerns itself with movies, books and toys that frightened you when you were a kid, as well as children who appear in scary movies. The Traumafessions throw up the odd confession of pre-teen fright including people who were scared to death by Tango adverts, had recurring nightmares about a scene in The Waltons, and a Dr Seuss book in which a pair of trousers come to life.

That's Not My Age

The name for this fashion and lifestyle blog comes from the idea that, when you become a certain age, denial sets in alongside the wrinkles, causing you to start lopping a few years off your age. Here an alternative is offered: pride in the fact that you know who you are and a realisation that there's plenty of cool folk over 40 who aren't permanently Botoxed or embarrassingly trying to look younger than their kids. Awards are handed out to middle-aged crush Dr Brian Cox, music hero Jarvis Cocker, TV bossy boots Mary Portas and best-dressed football manager José Mourinho. There's also pining over garments that suit a more mature outlook, a visit to Juliette Binoche's "facialist", and snaps of Parisian senior citizen hipsters. "Think Charlie Watts, not Ronnie Wood and you're on the right track," says the author.
