Why do bankers get bonuses

February 28th, 2010

With everything how it is at the moment I can not understand the bonuses the banks are dishing out to their employees.  It seems that RBS are one of the worse, reporting massive losses but still dishing out the bonuses to the bankers that allowed that to happen.  It seems that the best bank around [...]

Car crash

December 29th, 2009

In the run up to Christmas last year we had really bad snow on all the roads around where I live, schools were closed and no one could get anywhere safely.  We also had the news that the councils were short on stocks of salt and grit to keep the roads safe.  After last year [...]

Christmas time

December 20th, 2009

Christmas time, one of my favourite times of year.  It seems such a special time of years because everyone makes more effort.  Everyone decorates their houses, the shops have special displays and all the cities have their Christmas markets.  This year I have been to two Christmas markets, Lincoln and Birmingham.  I would say that [...]

Surveillance in the UK

December 20th, 2009

The one TV programme that I really hate is Big Brother.  It has been going on for far to long and the fools that go in there still expect it to be their big break only to find no one cares when they leave the house.  Well it looks like with the recession and unemployment [...]

The suing culture

September 13th, 2009

An accident – its something that wasn’t meant to happen, there is no malicious intent, there is no intended victim.  So why do people claim against other people for injury, when someone has made a genuine accident.  It shocks me that people claim for things like whiplash after having a crash. I have just seen [...]
