Cool Runnings

Which company, I ask you, wants you to know about things like Climate Change Bills? I mean, what it basically means is a hard time for a few companies out there (who I will not mention) that have a problem with saving energy. Why? Because in their minds, saving energy means spending money on unnecessary resources—money which could be better invested in other sordid schemes which will make the company even more money than it already has. And are they More

Man Up

Stand up if you don’t care about eating left-over pizza, about wearing matching socks or breaking wind in a public place. (I know there’ll be some women out there who put themselves in this category but sorry, this article is for blokes only.)

www.blokesonly.com is a place which provides shelter for blokes; shelter from wifely nagging, laundry arguments and heated discussions over bad reverse parking and whether or not to go and see a musical at the weekend even More

Classic Albums - The Same Sky.

In 1989, I heard a track called, ‘You Could Be Forgiven’ on The Chart Show. It was performed by a band called Horse and it absolutely blew me away. Fortunately, I had been recording the programme, so I had the song to keep. But the bad news was that I continued to play it so many times that it wore out the video tape.

After hunting around for the band’s music for over a year, I finally found their debut More

Doctor’s Orders

Hands up if you look forward to visiting your good friend the Doctor? Thought not. If you have got your hand up then count yourself as extremely lucky—because you have to be in a tiny minority; I’d rather visit the dentist myself for a prolonged bout of tooth pulling. Doctors can be rude and unsympathetic, can’t they just?

But what if the eponymous House M.D. were to be a real doctor? Would you go and visit him for his rude More

Crazy Man With The Torch

There’s a hill near me where you can look out on the city at night; the only hill in miles around, the kind of place where you can be sure that at almost any time, you will be alone…

One day when I was desperate to get some photos for my sixth form project—and had the incredibly inventive idea of taking photographs of the moon—I went to the hill at 3a.m. in the morning; it was a full moon, the More

Mr No Muscle.

Yesterday began like most :

1. Get up.
2. Get up.
3. Actually get up.
4. Make some coffee.

Coffee made I felt like a new man, touched by a deity and prepared for the day ahead, trouble being I had no plans so my no fear, gung ho outlook was soon suppressed and quickly replaced by boredom. Luckily and to my great delight I remembered I had cleaning to do, (stifled applause).

First to be tackled was the kitchen, More

Out of Analogue Comes Digital.

There is something just seriously cool about music cassettes. At least, there is if you are old enough to remember using them…

And here is a nifty little gadget for the old and sad (like myself). It is a 64MB USB Stick. ‘That’s not so unusual’ I hear you say. Well, this one is because it actually fits into the back of a specially designed dummy tape. Now that is a cunning way to bring that 60s, 70s or More

Build Your Financial Freedom With Residual Income

Everyone who is planing for future retirement thinks, “how am I going to come up with money to retire?”. This is a common question or thought and is totally justified, because, let’s face it, without a retirement pension or some kind of nest egg to fall back on, people cannot survive. Period!

The problem with this thought is that people are always thinking about the traditional pension plan or 401K plan. What they do not realize is there is a More

The Horror That is Hogan!

Aaaahh! Until I saw this blog I had been lucky enough to have forgotten all about the legendary Hulk Hogan.

I am not sure why, but there is something about the guy that really bugs me! Is it his silly moustache and the ridiculous way that he always insists on tearing his pre-ripped day-glo vest? I am not sure but I do know that I am officially Hoganphobic!

What a silly role-model for children. There are going to be More

tick tock

The hours I have spent on my x-box. Uncountable. Total fun fun fun and sad as it may sound I’ve met (virtually of course) quite a few people who are totally cool and wicked. My favorite game (I am a little out of date for reasons not relevant to this writing piece) is Gears of War. The first one. playing live online has consume many a happy hour, ok, so I lie. I have spent many a happy night, the More
