Why Blogs Are Great

If you’re not technologically minded, it might be that the word BLOG sends a shiver both up and down your spine. But, thanks to a new generation of services, with easy-to-use interface that actually is easy-to-use, all that is changing fast. More about how we are now living in what once was the future at the following link. Click on it and you’ll arrive at a blog for energy saving dudes Enigin Marketing, who know a thing or two More

Get Tooled Up

The internet is full of great things which can help make your work day that much more interesting. Computer games, games where you can super-impose your boss’s face on to a dummy and beat the hell out of it with a great big wet fish (my personal favourite; I go for the trout every time!) and interesting web sites which make you smile (depending on how boring your job is, of course). But where does energy saving fit in to More

Be Upper

I am upper class through and through. I know Accredited doctors in London. I know about wine and cheese and, most importantly, I can’t remember the last time I was in a ’supermarket’. I know what a proper table looks like when it is laid out with the love and care and attention of a butler who has had his skill passed down to him from generations of others.

But the trains really do have something to answer for. More

The Awful Intruders

People who interrupt you when you are talking to someone get right on my the thing which rhymes with Mits. You wouldn’t do it to a surgeon in the midsts of complex leg vein treatment, so why do it to someone who is trying to speak?

I don’t know quite when it started, but it’s almost everywhere now–like some horrible plague that will not stop until it gets everyone in its grasp! It’s in schools, and offices, and More

Good Old Days

A comfy chair in front of a warm fire. Staring in to the roaring flames and thinking about distant, beloved memories. Stories you heard when you were a child. Things your grandfather used to say while he smoked a pipe and talked about the good-old days–Now, seriously, who doesn’t like the sound of this?

Let’s face it, people, we used fossil fuels because that was what came naturally to us; it just seemed like a very good idea at the More

Gone Are The Days

There are so many words in the English language that it’s no surprise at all that once prestigious everyday words like Dapper and Smart and Suave have got lost amongst the common ones. These once fantastic words have been replaced by common-as-muck ones such as Innit, sweet and Bruva. How our Dapper, bow-tie wearing ancestors would turn in their grave if they could see the modern world now and what a state it is in! (Indeed, I do More

It’s Odd!

Society is a bit odd, isn’t it? People make gigantic assumptions based on almost nothing. If you are a down and out living on the street then you are instantly bad and not to be trusted, because when given money you will, definitely, buy a whole bag of drugs. Likewise, if you own an expensive car then you are, without doubt, the CEO of a money-grabbing evil empire. And what about if you wear high heels and a short skirt? More

Good Old British

England can be good. England can even be really quite great. For things like jobs for vets and chips with mushy peas it is even exceptional. But the one thing it seems to me it can and never will be is really friendly. I’m not suggesting that friendly people don’t exist in Great Britain, because they do, and in every part of the country (except where there are Inland Revenue offices, which are the one exception to the rule).

I am Ready for This world Is It Ready For Me?

I am prepared. The world awaits.

I have learned everything I could have learned in the years I spent at university, and the professors have given me the tools to be a champion in this world. My parents have supported me both financially and emotionally, and I think they should feel confident in their role in developing who I am. I am ready.

I watched my brothers and sisters grow into strong and constructive members of society. They got the More

Stop It You Moaners, Please!

In England it gets cold. Because that’s how it is. So why is it so many people have a problem with the cold? We’ve had enough time to get used to it, haven’t we? A few hundred years is more than enough time to change the course of humanity with stem-cell research, amazing fashion—Lady Gaga, whoever she is, was recently spotted wearing a massive silver lobster on her already massive forehead—so why isn’t it enough time to redefine the way More
