Soldier Refused Hotel Room

This is why the 'Great' should be removed from Great Britain. It's absurd to think that these soldiers, these heroes, are fighting wars on our behalf so we don't have to, and then they come back here to the UK and are refused a room in a hotel because of a "no military personnel" policy. That's what happened to ...

Holes in Teeth

Don't mix well with chewing gum. Especially the kind that is super-flavoured for mouth cleaning, like say with menthol. Talk about chewing and suddenly getting a violent pain. Ouch! I was afraid to pull my jaw up in case something went with it. Did I mention I hate dentists?
 

Government Helping Couples Buy Houses

Why is it that the government is so obsessed with couples? This morning I saw a new initiative by the Labour government saying they'd help couples buy homes. Part financing by government, and they announced they'd raise the threshold for stamp duty. Yes that helps people buy their first home, not having to fork out 1% of the house value in ...
 

Printing Flyers

With the advent of the internet you'd think certain things would go the way of the dodo. Newspapers for example. Sadly we still have them (sadly for the forests, and also for celebrities having to put up with paparazzi behaviour). Another thing might be say, posters/flyers, surely there's better ways of getting the word out, via the Internet. Given spam ...
 

Benefit Fraud by Abu Qatada

I was reading the newspaper and I came across an article about Abu Qatada. He's the fanatical Islamic preacher who is on bail under strict conditions, after our courts ruled sending him home to Jordan would breach his human rights (and don't get me started on -that-). Well the articles says his family (a family of five) are living on benefits ...
 

Sea Monsters on Video

When you see a headline like this: Sweden's 'Loch Ness Monster' captured on film It kind of grabs your attention doesn't it? Imagine it saying 'Loch Ness Monster ...', it has that kind of draw because we're so fascinated with things like Nessie, Bigfoot, UFOs etc., So I went to the page in question because I thought to myself, 'Yeah right, ...
 

Cooking Blog

This is a quick post for teeni, mac, et al, about the cooking blog. Let's talk this through and see if we can agree on domain name, style and so on. I can provide the design and hosting. We can cover a wide degree of categories from normal cooking, through veggie cooking, styles like chinese, russian, mexican etc., and also ...
 

Craigslist Page Error

Anyone ever seen this before:
Just trying to go to http://www.craigslist.org/ takes you to that other url (http://www.craigslist.org/about/about/sites) immediately. Something seems to be wrong there craigslist...
 

This WordPress Theme (Very English) Released

So finally I have finished the work off on this theme! Yay! The theme is released with all the usual bells and whistles: gravatar-ready comments, widget-ready sidebar, SEO-friendly coding, and xhtml-validated/css-validated (except for the opera css hacks - remove them and the css validates). The release package also includes the wordpress login page customised to blend with this theme - see it ...
 

Our Electoral System in 19th Century?

Well that title says it all really. I actually think it's true. Our electoral system really needs a serious overhaul, it's archaic and antique to the letter. What makes a lot of us seethe is the fact that we don't have a first-past-the-post system. We elect local MPs and then also elect which party we want to lead us (which interestingly, ...
