Well we managed it within the ten year plan, just, we have finally had the boiler replaced. An unreliable boiler rates right up there with an unreliable car. The reassurance that you flick the switch and the heating comes on is totally unappreciated until you can’t. And being able to set the timer has been […]

“When life hands you lemons…..grab the salt and pass the tequila baby!!” ….sounds good to me 😉

I’ve just been putting my garden waste wheelie bin out for emptying tomorrow…I noticed the neighbours had theirs out…I keep forgetting until the van is outside my house. I mentioned to my next door neighbour that the bin hadn’t been emptied a couple of times when I’d put it out because there was only a […]

The Harry Potter book series topped the American Library Association’s top ten national banned-book list last year due to it’s focus on wizardry and magic ……only in America!

Well that’s another week gone and as I keep being reminded Christmas is nearly here. I must admit I bought my first Christmas present today, probably the earliest I’ve ever bought one. It was off the book salesman that comes into work…they have some really good bargains so you have to get them when you […]

The latest annoyance has been a group of spectators shining laser pens at his face…very funny. He got the last laugh though, they were arrested because […]

The micro chip technology that already allows people to be located via their mobile phones could soon be installed in household objects. TVs, computers, DVDs, etc are to be fitted with micro chips that monitor their location and normal proximity to each other and would immediately alert police should there be any unexpected change. The […]

Well he’s at it again…at 9:30 on Friday David Blaine entered his glass box and is hoping to “hang around” for the next 44 days emerging on the 19th of October. As his only intake will be water, he is expected to lose about 45lbs over the six weeks…someone will probably turn it into the […]
