What I Think

Ever since I saw a baddie fall into a bottomless pit in the original Batman series, I have wondered: why does everyone want to know what happens after we die? Another thing I have wondered is why people think that falling into a bottomless pit is the worst way to go, because clearly it isn’t. In fact it’d be a luxury compared to many. After all, it lacks a bottom, so you’ll never have that harsh landing, will you? No, More

Stop The Panic

Looking at the repeated footage of the recent Japanese Tsunami and earthquakes – an enormous wave which rallied across the ocean at a formidable force, as much as 500mph in places – you’d think that over in Japan it’s been nothing but panicstations. But actually, if you’ve been watching a lot of news, either online or on TV, then you’ll have seen, countless times, that the Japanese (as well as many other nationalities affected by it) have been relatively calm More

New Respect For Simon Cowell

Firstly, before that part of your brain saying “Yes! I love Simon Cowell! There should be loads more articles like this, I just can’t understand why there aren’t!” gets too carried away, I should confess that I still despise the square-headed, posh-talking, irritatingly outspoken music mogul. And yes, you can quote me on that, and I don’t feel bad. To me, Simon Cowell, with all his crazy money, is no more real than the idea of World Peace or the More

Decorating your homes on a budget

While decorating your home, it is easy to feel a lot worried about your savings account simply because it’s commonly believed that changing a home interior will make your bank account go dry. This is not always true though. It is quite possible to decorate your home within a small budget, and it even won’t look like it was decorated on a low budget. This is however not applicable if your home is one of those villa rentals but otherwise More

Broke? Become An Ideas Machine

I tend to get a lot of ideas. Some of them are good. Others…Well, they’re not so good. In fact they’re absolutely flat-out pants rubbish. I don’t let that discourage me, however (and who needs to be discouraged by ones inner self when there are so many other people who will happily do that for you?).

What really discourages me is when people say that you can’t just come up with a web-site that will make you LOADS of money. More

TV Moaners

I have to admit it: I am a TV moaner. Browse through my blog and you’ll likely find me ranting on about how bad TV is, and how distracting it can be when you’re trying to get your work done. So today I thought I would change gear: today I am to talk – or write, I should say – about the benefits of having a TV in your room. And they are as follows:

1) When you’re in a More

Rich? It’s Not Always For The Best

It’s good to read a heart-warming story every once in a while, don’t you think? I know I think so, especially when I’ve had another torturous day at work that never seemed to end…which reminds me. I think you might like to read this:

One story I read recently was about a cleaner from somewhere in Skegness. She cleaned full-time for an executive who spent most of his time travelling the world promoting his amazing brand of office cleaning supplies More

Making A Business: How Hard Is It Really?

If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll notice that I didn’t say “making a business: how hard is it to make money really?” That’s quite another question entirely, and one that there’s nowhere near enough room to talk about here. No, the purpose of this here article is exploring how hard making a business UP is. I’m talking about inventing one, coming up with a concept, creating something unique, that kind of thing. The answer should be obvious, if you haven’t More

What Happened To Emo?

Once upon a time, having emotions was considered a good thing. If you had an array of emotions, this demonstrated to other human beings with emotions that you had the capacity to feel love, fear, frustration and all those other things once considered unique to our species.In other words, it made you likeable, warm and distinctly better than being a piece of wood. Like Oak for example, that’s a pretty hard and expression-less kind of wood.

Now it’s not good More

Scary Stuff That Scared The Pants Off Me. Nearly, Anyway

The other day I dared myself to watch 127 Hours in the dark, at night, on my own. It wasn’t much of a dare really, seeing as I could back out at any time and nobody would ever know – except me, of course, and I wasn’t going to dob myself in – but I was glad I set myself it. Because you know what? I actually managed to not look away the whole time. Even as he hacked his More
