Follow Mary’s Example

I have a very good friend (who works for Hair Transplant Manchester, and I’m telling you, if you have a hair-related problem then she is the girl to speak to) and her name is Mary. Mary is one of those awesome people who has a one in a million smile, is a bit of a head-turner, and has a very tasteful home (as well as a cat which goes ballistic at any given opportunity; I am told she has More

Got A Friend?

Got a friend who is displaying worrying signs of Saved By The Bell style Geek Syndrome? (Google it if need be…I promise you won’t be dissapointed.) Haven’t we all. I have one particular friend who is a girl Geek. She is pretty, and charming, and has a sweet fringe that makes many a head turn. In other words she is exactly the kind of Geek that a man would want to marry. Why? Well because not only does she possess More

What happened to our manners?

It’s funny how we tell our children to play nice and to try to get along with everyone. We tell them to say they are sorry and to share their toys with one another. Yet, we as adults do not do any of those things. There are so many adults who have forgotten common manners and courtesy. Not many adults are exuding morals or setting the right examples for children to learn from. When someone holds a door open for More

Could our clothes help us cope with stress?

The answer is no. I’m not talking about retail therapy where stressed individuals (guys and girls alike) max out their credit cards after a bout of stress, which often results in the wardrobe being filled with colourful t-shirts and cheap beach dresses. Apparantly, the BBC had an article which reported that ’smart clothes'(everything in the future has smart preceeding it) can help monitor and control stress of the wearer with a More

Redemption Is Possible

I admit it: when I am walking down the street and I get stopped by someone working for Greenpeace or something like that, I do a very bad thing–instead of just saying “No, sorry, I don’t want to give you money” and walking away (cruel, but functional), I stand there and sort of listen and accidentally give the impression – as hope comes over them – that I might just be interested in paying a few pounds a month. Then, More

The Holy Grail Of Samosas

This article is about chicken samosas. Stop, don’t go anywhere. This article will blow your mind. If you don’t want to go out and buy ten chicken samosas after reading it then I will–I don’t know, just be very surprised is all.

I made a discovery last week, you see, which has, for me, turned the world of chicken samosas completely on its head! Up until the incident happened I hadn’t even considered that I could get my samosas from More

The Great Slow Curse

As we are all more than aware, as well as terrorists, spam (both the meat featured on the awful new TV adverts and the email kind), and people who still do that annoying clicky-finger thing that Ali G used to do and was never not extremely annoying, slow walkers are among the worst and most time-wasting phenomenon plaguing our great modern society. Go to London and you will find them deliberately in your way everywhere – great herds of them More

Neighbours From Smell.

Lots of people have problems with their neighbours. It is usually to do with them making excessive noise, parking their car in your way or growing a 200 foot hedge which obscures the sun. However, my neighbours have a far more unusual annoying habit…

I’m not big on barbeques myself, although I’ve never had a particular problem with them… until now. The family next door to us seem to live on nothing else. Over the last week they have had More

About Team Work

Team-work: I didn’t get it when I was growing up, but I have a feeling that that was more to do with my being small and thin and terrified of rugby (and the other boys seeing me as the ball, rather than an actual human player…). Therefore, from an early age I associated team-work to mean agonizing pain, and quite rightly so. Because of this, for the last fifteen years, whenever someone has mentioned the dreaded T W I have More

Do The Job Properly Will You?

This article is about eggs. Thus, if you find the idea of chicken-spawn repulsive, nightmarish, or altogether distasteful, then leave at once, before it’s too late!

There, now we can begin. And I shall do so like this:

Contrary to popular belief, there really is only one way to cook a fried-egg, just as there is only one way to do leg vein treatment without making a right pig’s ear of it. It’s a good job you stumbled across this More
