Cooking at home

June 13th, 2009

A few years ago both my fiancée and I were unemployed at the same time for about a month, it was weird not having anything to do and our lives revolved around food.  We planned what we were going to eat, went shopping for it, cooked it and then ate it.  My parents in law [...]

Health and safety

June 11th, 2009

As I have been a teacher and now a science technician and so I have a lot to do with health and safety.  I understand the need to health and safety, especially in a science laboratory.  Even though I understand the need I still don’t like it.  A lot of health and safety is just [...]

Buying property overseas

June 10th, 2009

It feels like my parents in law are never at home.  When ever my wife talks to them they are always saying they have just been somewhere and are planning to go somewhere else soon.   They have just got back from a trip to Scotland and are planning to go to Newcastle soon for a [...]

England playing

June 10th, 2009

I am not normally a fan of football, I don’t really have much idea about it.  If you asked me which team I supported I would always say Mansfield Town as that is where I am from.  I have no idea of any of the player’s names on the team, I have only watched them [...]

Reality TV

June 9th, 2009

Whether you love it or hate it you can’t help but notice that it’s that time again, big brother time. I admit with slight shame that I did enjoy the first few series of the show; the novelty value was good at that time, because shows like that didn’t exist.  However I have managed to [...]

Shopping for clothes

June 8th, 2009

Women’s fashion has me completely baffled, I was subjected to 5 hours of shopping at the weekend and the majority of that was traipsing around women clothing stores.  My wife has joined the hordes of young ladies wearing leggings (an item of clothing which was reserved until recently for 5 year olds and new mothers) [...]

Free mobile calls are coming

June 7th, 2009

With the 3 network starting to offer free phone calls using Skype it will not be long until other networks follow.  You have to be using a fast 3g phone so you must be on a quite expensive contract already.  I like the idea of free calls.  I call my wife a lot when I [...]

The future of the Internet

June 6th, 2009

I don’t think that there is a business out there that isn’t connected to the Internet.  It is pretty much essential nowadays.  Chip and pin devices communicate with banks though the Internet, there are online stores, and most communications are done through email.  It is not just in business where the Internet is essential.  Most [...]

The boom and bust way

June 6th, 2009

It seems to me that a lot of what we do is based around boom and bust.  When ever the human race discovers something new all the value has to be drained from it as quickly as possible until it is useless, and then we complain about it.  We live in the same style as [...]

Litter training and vet visits

June 5th, 2009

Our kitten is pretty much sorted now.  He has had all his vaccinations, his second set was last night, and he has also been micro chipped.  The microchip needle is very scary, the needle looked to be 4mm wide, I would not want to be injected with it the size I am and he’s tiny.  [...]
