Meat Mad?

Permanent vet jobs are few and far between. That never used to be the case. Back when I had my first cat I used to see the same vet over and over, but nowadays it’s a different vet every time. Which leads me to something else: another thing that has changed is the looks on peoples faces when I say “I love my meat.”(Although I should say I do not condone eating pets in any way.) At one time in More

The Revolution COMETH

There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who dare to BBQ throughout the year, regardless of the conditions being ideal or not, and the other—those who only BBQ when it is hot outside, those who must learn the error of their ways. Otherwise known as the pretenders. They don’t care about the real morals of BBQing, you see, they only care about looking like BBQers. It’s a blight on our society which needs to be controlled More

Watch Out!

I grew up with an intense and debilitating fear of spreadsheets. Please don’t laugh. This is not a joke! (But it may be a bit of an exaggeration) It all stems from my Father: his intense (and some might argue disturbing) love of spreadsheets started it all, turning a cog in my brain that bore deeper and deeper, until one day the mere mention of the word threatened to tip me over the edge and make me mute.

It all More

If I were The Prime Minster

As Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, the first duty I would conduct is to eliminate all opposition. For me to rule under my benevolent velvet-gloved iron fist, I need no competition and no whining in my ear. A quick Soviet style purge is required. The title of Prime Minister would still exist, but in a different form.

Once the ugly business is out of the way, I can now concentrate on making not only my country better, but the More

VAIN

From a young age we are told that vanity is bad for us. “Don’t love yourself” or “Don’t stare at yourself too long in the mirror” or even “Don’t splash out on that Luxury designer bedding, its just you”, and this is all good and well, but it can be taken a bit too far. By telling children not to love themselves they may end up hating themselves, and surely that can’t be good, can it?

It’s a fine More

Pants!

Pants can be confusing. Back in the day it used to be simple. You needed pants, you bought pants: boxer shorts or whatever, it was simply a case of venturing to the shops and buying some. But nowadays the pants—and sub industries—have changed enormously. When purchasing boxer shorts you are bombarded with not only all the different fashionable styles, but the various different types. There are boxers with buttons, boxers with no openings at all—just strange—and the worst kind: the More

Playing competitive football

I have always loved watching football, and I mean real European football, for as long as I can remember. I love the intensity of the game and the physical and strategic elements also. The atmosphere there is when you attend a match is fantastic as is the atmosphere in the local pub when Newcastle or England are playing.

Funnily enough, despite coming from Newcastle, I am a massive Southampton fan and have been since I was about six or seven More

Three Lions on a shirt; here comes the World Cup.

This year, the World Cup will be held in South Africa which will bring out the brilliant atmosphere the African fans can create. There are some teams that are favoured to win the World Cup. These teams are usually the same at every World Cup and are as follows: Brazil, who have won the most World Cups, Italy, winners of the last World Cup in 2006 Argentina, England, Spain, Germany, the Netherlands and France. Although the latter of the teams More
