Meet Snowy

For as long as I can remember, a man called “Snowy” has been the pride of Cambridge, UK. Not that I live in Cambridge or know this from personal experience. No, this is all stuff I have learnt from a friend of mine who lives there. When we were younger he wouldn’t shut-up about Snowy. I have to say though, weirdly I do miss hearing about Snow. I sort of wish I could have met him before he died, if More

Kids Know Best

Children know more than adults give them credit for; that might seem like an overly obvious statement, but think about it, and read on for proof. More importantly, if they don’t know then they really want to find out, because thankfully most children are very curious, and for good reason. When, for example, was the last time you heard an adult say “why do pigeon’s bob their necks forwards and backwards and up and down?” Precisely. Where would we be More

Sex Toy Assault

Followed a friend of mine to a tattoo removal service and just when you are thinking that things are a bit strange today; think again. Weirder things are going on around you; a women attacking a police officer with a sex toy! Sounds awkward? It certainly is. The night started in a particularly smooth way for the Illinois women Carolee Bildsten, 56. Reportedly, Carolee went out on November 9^th to Joe’s Crab Shack and had a big meal which More

Girls And Tea

What I am about to say may sound like a sweeping-statement – and indeed I can see your point, as it looks and sounds and acts in every way like one – but from the research I have conducted, both consciously and unconsciously over the years (including a blog post from energy saving gurus Enigin ), I’m going to say it is true: girls love their tea. Every girl I have ever known, bar one, has loved her tea. My More

Greek recipes and why we love them

Greek food is synonymous with meat, vegetables, and oil, and so it’s no small wonder that just about everyone you ever meet will be head over heels for Greek food. There’s something about those refreshing seafood-based recipes, all of which are subsequently slathered in butter, oil, and thick sauces, that makes them so delectable.
If asked to consider my favourite Greek recipes, I’d find myself hard-pressed to come up with an adequate choice. After all, there are so many More

Weird But Not Wonderful…

Turns out the internet isn’t the only place you can find the weird and wonderful; if you were watching Channel 4 last night then you were treated to a great big massive helping of it in the way of Famous And Fearless, a sort of extreme sports meets hardcore celebrities programme which saw various celebrities battling against one another in…well…what can only be described as complete and utter crap. A whole new level of crap, no less. Let’s see, now More

money for nothing

One thing that’s been bothering me is discount vouchers. Specifically currys discount vouchers (someone asked for some as a wedding present a couple of months ago, if you want to know why those in particular), but really any form of discounted voucher will do. I was wondering why other people don’t think of them as money, and what they cost.

This is what I mean. Say you buy £15 worth of discount vouchers, for say iTunes or whatever. Now it More

The joy of pointless products

One of the things I’ve found strangest recently is the number of sites I’ve seen advertising things like Holiday villas in Spain. Not particularly a wierd internet phenomenon as such I guess - it’s more that everywhere I look on line for news, from Google News to the Guardian, there seems to be endless commentary on the recession. Against that background it seems to me that it’s quite optimistic to be encouraging people to buy holiday homes.

But then More

Why Bikini?

Stupid questions hit you out of nowhere sometimes, and I’m sure that you know what I mean by that. Things such as: why is a “bikini” called a bikini and not something else? Does bikini hair removal hurt as much as women say it does? And if I got a crack, back and sack or whatever it’s called, is it possible that the person doing the waxing could pull a bit too hard and thus rip a certain part of More

An Internet Tragedy

Recently, while perusing a Sofa Sale on my own (I had absolutely no intention of ever buying another sofa, but for some reason it’s always been calming to me, just wondering around in these places), I witnessed an argument break out between the husband and wife who were on the other side of this sofa warehouse. I always find it odd when an argument breaks out in one of these places, seeing as the way the place is designed – More
