Girls…Be More Careful

Sometimes you say you’ll do something–(like say “yes"to some trial Hair loss medication on a small patch of your leg in exchange for money and discover that it’s more powerful than the lady told you…and you get a hellish rash!) And it transpires that you really should have thought a bit more about it first–

Like Last Thursday. Last Thursday I had had it with my friend Barry. He was moaning, again, about how hard being a man was, and More

The 50%

There’s around a 50% chance that you’re a woman if you’re reading this (because men want to read about women just as much as women want to read about men). Man or woman, the case in point is irrelevant: I have something to say, and it’s as true as the fact that you will loose weight after undergoing gastric balloon surgery. Here it is: I’m sick of women making out that while they are having a period, they are More

The Tea Rage

When you think of violence and drama you think of gangs, Eastenders, movies. And I don’t blame anyone for thinking of these things first. But know this reader: none of these things compare with the tension that flies when two lovers of tea arrive at the supermarket shelf and discover that only one box of tea remains. Not only have I witnessed this incident in person, I have been in the rage myself–

Making A Difference

Business blogs, agh! Could they be any more boring than they already are? I highly doubt it.

OK, maybe I am jaded by looking at too many of these blogs, but that’s More

Tea Bag Types

If you actually checked how many types of tea exist then the shock of so much unadulterated wonder might actually kill you on the spot. I am not joking, and this is no exagerration. That’s why the supermarkets don’t go out of their way to push tea in your face. They don’t have enough insurance to make doing it worthwhile. They’d have numerous dead-bodies on their hands, and unless it happened at the Co-op (who also run funeral parlours) it More

Funny Lots

Human-beings are a funny lot. Unlike other creatures, which are very aware of their surroundings and have an acute understanding of their environment, human-beings, for the most part seem to think that they can chuck any old crap into the environment / their bodies, and everything should work out perfectly OK. In other words, while so-called ‘stupid’ animals run about being odd and dumb, us humans, o-so-much more intelligent, do really clever things—if rockets aren’t clever I don’t know what More
