We have seen the move from 3 tv channels to a world where you have channels for: news, documentaries, comedy, dramas, God, music (pop, grunge, metal, indie, retro hits, r&b, and classical), history, geography, children, shopping, sport, movies, porn, politics, motors, DIY, makeover, cartoons and so it goes on.
We have seen the invention of the [...]
Tomorrow I reach middle age (well what I consider middle age as it is likely to be around the mid point of my life all things considered). It’s made me all reflective on what I have and haven’t achieved in life & where I am in relation to where I would like to be and [...]
Tonight BBC Panorama has a programme exposing the truth about Seroxat.
Watch learn and allow yourself to feel very very angry. I spent 5 years on that particular “happy pill” and am all too aware that certain claims that the makers made (and hopefully are no longer making about it) are false. It was not [...]

There are certain British rituals that occur when the weather changes or there is even a hint that the weather might change.
Today we are going through one of those rituals:
Checking for the snow disruption. Even though it is clear here (at the moment) there is no guarentee it will be just down the road and [...]
Church after Christendom is a book worth reading. I waited until this had hit the budget shelves to read it, which in someways is a pity because it is one of those books which kind of explains the shift in mindset which has occurred in some evangelical circles over recent years.
I don’t agree with [...]
Decided to cheer my lounge up on a shoe string yesterday. Three King Size sheets in Woolies (lovely burgandy colour which contrasts with existing mint cushions on top) gave me matching throws for sofa, and two arm chairs for under £15 in total.
Note flat sheets required for arm chairs but fitted sheet works on [...]
