I’m not someone who drives a lot; I’m not really a big fan of it, largely due to the fact that everyone on the road appears to be an idiot and the amount that it costs. There’s petrol which seems to become more expensive every day, there’s road tax and perhaps worst of all, there’s insurance. This is the reason I ended up selling my car, but sometimes I need to hire one since although I don’t drive much, I do occasionally need a car to visit my parents or for meetings and so on. It’s in cases like these that short term car insurance is the perfect solution. Read more... (261 words, estimated 1:03 mins reading time)

I’m one of those people for whom there’s no such thing as too much storage space. In fact I never seem to have enough; from the ever-climbing pile of comic boxes, to the bookshelves that are always getting a couple of extra bits added on, to the CD wallets which seem to be multiplying and the piles of DVDs and blu rays that just don’t fit into the racks anymore, there’s never enough storage space and I’ve been looking into ways to deal with this.

When it comes to the gym, I’ve always been something of a hard-gainer. I struggle ridiculously with putting on size and as I get older, it seems to be increasingly difficult to keep any muscle growth on without living on a diet which features chicken, some chicken and maybe a bit of chicken with some brown rice on the side if I’m lucky. This isn’t really what you’d describe as a particularly interesting diet and it’s not really the healthiest either, so I’ve decided that using whey protein powder to supplement a healthy diet is a much better approach.

I’m not someone who’s known for my patience, so perhaps I have unrealistic expectations of looking like Leonidas a few months after joining a gym and lifting a couple of times a week, but even so, I really feel like I should be getting quicker gains. I reckon it’s got something to do with my stupidly fast metabolism, so I’ve decided to counter that with some protein shakes. Read more... (225 words, 1 image, estimated 54 secs reading time)

I’m something of a gadget hound and I really love my toys, especially multimedia related ones. My room looks like the Curry’s backroom with all the gear in there, from the overpowered PC to the TV setup which is a 1080p plasma TV, Sky HD, blu ray player, Xbox 360 and 1080p media player which plays all the stuff from my external hard drive. It’s all HD and it’s all very shiny. Unfortunately for my bank account, however, there’s all this new LED screen technology which boasts brighter, sharper pictures, smaller footprint and 3D capability in some cases. Read more...

I had a slightly disturbing revelation the other day as I caught my reflection in a shop window as I was walking along – I really do look like I work in the media. That’s not a bad thing necessarily – I am a media graduate, after all – but I felt that my look was almost stereotypically ‘media’ for some reason. There I am with my messy haircut, designer piercings, trendy goatee and obscure band t-shirt all offset with a D&G watch and suddenly it clicked that I really do look like one of those people you often see wandering around London and you can spot them a mile off. I had a fleeting thought of looking into some credit card design just to really get that ‘successful’ look. Read more... (303 words, 1 image, estimated 1:13 mins reading time)
Breakups can be rough on all involved, especially on the person who gets broken up with. This happened to a friend of mine not too long ago; he moved this girl in with him, they were going to get married, they’d even bought a cat, and what happens? She dumps him – not just dumps him, but dumps him for his best friend. This ‘best friend’ wasn’t me, I hasten to add, but you get the idea – it was a serious ‘dude, your life sucks’ moment. What do you do in a situation like that? Revenge, obviously. In this case, storage Ipswich featured heavily. Read more... (397 words, estimated 1:35 mins reading time)

When a couple have the first confirmation that they are going to be parents one of the first questions arising is; what will we call our future child? This question propagates to all the family and suddenly everyone is got a name for your baby. This fact confuses even more the future parents. What at the beginning was an election between three or four options now it became a big list of the most peculiar and different baby names you have ever imagined. I going to make a classification of the sources that most of the people take into account at the time to came up with baby names: Read more... (323 words, 1 image, estimated 1:18 mins reading time)

What constitutes educational toys? When you’re young it seems parents and relatives and governments are all very eager to ensure that kids get plenty of stimulating toys. But when you’re a nipper, it is surely true to say that everything is an educational toy. Every little thing that happens is a learning experience; from being able to touch your toes to learning that if you cry you’ll be fed. Read more...

For anyone who’d been there, there is nothing more dull than the north of France. It’s all flat and only serves to remind us how suitable flat land is for mass trench warfare. But with this in mind, it is surprising perhaps to remind ourselves that the north of France gave us Champagne. Read more... (239 words, 1 image, estimated 57 secs reading time)
