That’s what someone said to me today! Instead of being polite, and refraining from comment or ignoring it; I spoke out! Just senseless, rude and … made him lose a lot of face, IMHO! The odd thing is that people who say that often find that it is impossible to take their foot of their…
I have also to got to say, Thank Goodness for the Internet! Without it, I’d still be listening to endless replays of the top 40 hits, … there is so much good music beyond the mindnumbing control of BBC/ITV/UK Radio… I doubt I would waste the time watching such claptrap. Pity that the EU treaties…

But then I’ve had similar problems finding batteries for cameras, remote control units, … even ink replacement cartridges for less than well known printers. Parts are difficult to…
Gold prices have taken a swoon recently. No surprises why. The economy is beginning to show signs of life: housing is improving, unemployment seems to be falling slowly, commodities are coming off their highest prices, and things seem to be beginning to happen in Washington. There’s still some way to go on many issues, including…
Many women, and even men, have their self-confidence dented by today’s glamorous images of skinny and attractive models, pictures of whom are touched up endlessly by photoshop to remove even acceptable defects.
