That word business, does it deserve its attachment to such words as ‘cold’, ‘hard’ and the worst most scary of all ‘ruthless’? Well, I suppose it probably does in many cases. In business myself, I’ve had my fair share or business hassle to deal with. But one thing you don’t see, as the consumer, is how expensive it is for a business to exist. Even companies who make a lot of money can be struggling under the surface, fighting to (more…)

Please don’t run a mile. I know, I really do. I know that your dad / granddad / grandfather / creepy uncle has about seventy rotting National Geographic magazines stashed in his toilet, but the magazine has come a long way since its humble beginnings. No longer is N.G. the prime reading material of bearded reclusive dorks everywhere, it is now as modern as not saying thankyou when someone opens the door for you and as widespread as cadaver faced (more…)

These occasions are always the same. My friends and I are sitting in a pub minding our own tank-top wearing, bowls and polo conversing business, and then I hear someone say something which needs to be put right, and I find myself asking my chums if they are going to come with me or if (more…)

A good friend of mine is currently looking for secondary education jobs and has realized that, well over half of all newly qualified teachers are unprepared when it comes to dealing with aggressive pupils. This is obviously a bit of a concern, because violence erupts so frequently in many of today’s classrooms. But I think we should be concentrating more on why it is now such a huge issue. After all, it never used to be like this.

There has (more…)

Okay, girls, how exactly are you planning on going out to find Mr. Right? It can all be a little bit disheartening when you have been in the dating game for a while and you don’t seem to be getting anywhere. And it can be downright upsetting when all of your friends appear to be meeting-up with George Clooney lookalikes who are a dab hand at cooking and love nothing better than getting all of the ironing done!

Logic would (more…)

I wonder why it is that we make such a big deal out of the New Year. You can be sure that there will be more hangovers in the world on the first of January than on any other day of the whole year. But why do we see it as being such an important thing to celebrate?

We all like to make a fresh start to things sometimes and a new year is a great way to begin again (more…)

I have got a huge amount of respect for anyone who can carry out web design. It must be a very interesting job, but you need to be good at a lot of different things.

If you read; ‘Life as a Web Designer’ then you will get a better idea of what it must really be like. This post tells you exactly which skills are required to do this type of work. It involves the juggling of several (more…)

Just about everyone on the planet has wondered whether or not ghosts are real; I know that I have.

I always read articles about spooky things and the one on this blog was no exception. I suppose I am hoping that one day I will come across something that it is concrete evidence. So many people say that they have seen ghosts but there is still nothing conclusive. You would think that, with all of today’s technology, someone would have (more…)

I have just come across this very interesting blog about making money from ‘hobby writing’ on a site called ‘eHow’. Until I read it I had never even heard of doing this before. It sounds like it may well be worth looking into. The blog (which is incredibly honest) makes it clear that ‘hobby writing’ will not turn you into a millionaire overnight but it is all extra income, isn’t it? At the moment it is a good thing to (more…)
