If you've ever tried to make mashed potato then you'll know it's a tough dish to get right.

It's either going to be too lumpy or too runny or, upsettingly, both. So wouldn't it make sense to leave this sort of great responsibility up to a supermarket vending machine? Yeah, we didn't think so either.

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.
