Remember when people used to reply with ‘Er, think you have the wrong number LOL’ when you text someone you shouldn’t have? Those seven words and a cheeky abbreviation would quickly rectify the error of your ways, allowing us all to go on living our lives like nothing had ever happened.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
