Getting Children to Eat Sensibly, is it Possible?
As adults, we try to do our best for our kids, especially when it comes to what they eat. After all, food is fuel, and good quality fuel is what we need to stay healthy. Unfortunately, kids don’t like anything unless it’s deep fried and smothered in chocolate! There is a way however to smuggle […]
Why All Men Should Get Their Prostates Checked
Jeffery Archer has said today that it is imperative that all men over 50 should get their prostates examined. I on the other hand think we should go one better, and all men should get checked from the age of 18. This isn’t some perverse fetish I have, but it is important that we de […]
The UK to Experience the Beast from the East!
The Beast from the East has ‘battered’ Britain. It’s winter, guess what happens in winter. It gets cold and it snows. That doesn’t mean the entire country has to come to a standstill.

Stealing from Hotels is Common!
An article in todays Manchester Evening News is quite an interesting one. You see, hoteliers in the city have come clean about their biggest bug bears when it comes to swiping things. Of course, there are certain things you don’t mind being swiped. The mini toiletries like single use shampoo, conditioner and toothpaste. After all, […]
Feeling depressed? Foster a dog!
I’m a little nervous today. Firstly I have a house inspection tomorrow, where a lady who takes in every waif and stray she finds and tries to re-home them will asses mine (and my partners) ability to look after another living being. There are only a couple of problems. My office is (and always has […]
