What A Bit Of Influence Can Do

I have never been a huge football fan, but the following link sparked off something for me that I think is worth mentioning here, if only briefly. A feeling that actually football can be a really good thing for bringing people together (even when it is to watch shockingly bad football being “played”), and bringing people together is just what we’re going to have to do in order to change the general attitude to global warming (which right now needs More

Community Spirit Please Come Back!

I remember being a child and having really nice next-door neighbour’s. Those were the days. The only boring thing about the ones on the left were that Mr Humpkins used to always go on and on about recycling and how important it was. It used to make me and my brother laugh. What did adults know anyway? Nothing! Why should I listen to an old man with too much time on his hands when nothing he suggested seemed to make More

High Heels Aren’t ALL That

What is the fascination with high heels? Yes, they do push your bum up in a certain special way, but do men really love them as much as everyone thinks?

My opinion is No!

This subject came up in my head because of the pub last night. Or, more specifically, the conversation we were all having. Five blokes and Suzette. That may sound like some dodgy film but actually it was just five good mates having a drink after work. More

Toothbrush Hell!

A friend of mine recently gave me a present; not Dermatological skin-care stuff as she had said she’d get me, but an electric toothbrush. That night I went home and I attempted to use it–but it didn’t go well. In fact it went very badly. I have always had an innate fear of electrical gadgets and this was no exception…

The first thing that bothered me (this was well before I even got it anywhere near my face) was the More

Making Bad Words Good

You’re born, you’re taught stuff, and then you know things. Or do you? I was fine up until I discovered that breaking things was more fun than building things (ages 1 to twelve, I think), and then, just as that reversed I discovered that females were like males, only sort of like the opposite and (generally) terrible at throwing, which was actually sort of cute. Suddenly, learning anything that wasn’t specifically about females seemed like a very bad idea indeed.

Fashion Rant

Fashionable hair-cuts. They and laser skin treatment have taken over the world! Just have a walk around London or any other big city (Tokyo is a major offender) and you’ll see what I mean. Fashion is everywhere. People say it’s technology that’s the future. I don’t. Sooner or later even the Large Hadron Collider will get a fashionable hair-do, then what, Stephen Hawking looking all emo?

I have nothing against a nice hair-do and I am telling you now, More

Recognise This?

If I said to you this: “do you know what Storm Thorgerson’s most recognisable pieces of album art are and can you pick them out?” what would you say? It’s OK if you are presently going very red and feel slightly (or very) embarrassed, there are many others in the same boat (including me…I can tell you what the best permanent laser hair removal treatment is, for example, but that’s about all…). Storm T, for your information, is actually the More

Just Stop Now

This whole thing about ‘Is there life apart from us?’ just has to stop, just like Follicular unit extraction surgery should really be simplified, because it’s just daft. I have never heard anything quite so stupid (apart from when my friend confessed that he had never seen ‘Saturday Night Fever’ which just seemed absurd). I mean, just stop it now please people. Stop being so dumb.

I am not going to rant on and on about how many planets there More

Wouldn’t It Be cool to Find Out We Are Not Alone In The Universe?

Life on other planets has been has intrigued mankind for generations. The idea of an alien race with equal or superior intelligence to ourselves has fascinated scientists, writers, philosophers and the common man. It would truly be a wondrous thing for humanity if there is indeed life in the universe aside from Earth.

Images of Star Trek come to mind. A world united; our petty political problems would seem pathetic and inconsequential. The world would change drastically, and not just More

The Equality Debate

Skiing in italy is more fun than skiing in an indoor dome in the middle of a bustling city, correct? And a banana grown with love and care will always be better than a GM banana, however good. We’re talking about Equality. Equality is more than just another word: its meaning stretches far and wide, encompassing every facet of daily existence in some shape or form. But how often do you see someone stop and consider what would really happen More
