Tenancies for life are over if David Cameron has his way. To me he is the ultimate wolf in sheep’s clothing except he isn’t really bothering so much to dress like a sheep. So maybe my metaphor is wrong, is he the Emperor in his new clothes? Standing naked as Margaret Thatcher and everybody swearing that he has a new suit on? Against my will to dismiss absolutely everything he does purely as market driven spitefulness, I wonder about Read the rest of this entry »

Hybrid cars are improving for better and getting more efficient with every new model that is coming up in the market. With so many players around, each with their own set of innovation on top of a hybrid theme, things are getting better. It’s true that hybrid cars have turned out to be a boon for the new age and particularly for some of us because of the rising fuel cost.

Basically, a hybrid car utilizes an electric engine in Read the rest of this entry »

Growing up, I thought nothing of wasting heat, leaving the lights on when there was absolutely no need and wasting energy at every blissful opportunity. My logic was this: energy (according to old ‘eggy mCeggy’, our science teacher) never disappeared, so how could it be wasted? That just didn’t make sense!

Then, when I moved out, I discovered that wasting energy really was a bummer; not just a minor bummer either, but a major big fat one. Not only was Read the rest of this entry »

My mobile phone is a classic. If it was a film it’d be “The Birds”or maybe even “Escape From Alcatraz”. In fifty years time it’ll be on Antiques Roadshow, and that generation’s version of a smiling Fiona Bruce will be singing its praises. “This was one of those phones you had to use your fingers to text with!” she’ll say. “This was back when mind-reading was said to be science fiction!”

One thing they won’t talk about is the Read the rest of this entry »

Why do so many of us women accept that getting paid less than our male colleagues is acceptable? That’s a question that’s been bothering me for some time. Which is why, when I recently went for a job interview, I brought it up.

I should say that it was a strange kind of interview. Mainly because I had a perfectly good job and had no intention of taking this one if it was offered to me (not to mention they Read the rest of this entry »

When I was a little girl, about the same time that I learned what Gastric band surgery was (when people are made in to walking balloons, of course), I wanted to be a director. Not just any director–.Not just the director of a children’s TV show, or the director of something mediocre yet big–No–I wanted to direct the biggest films that were out there. But when I was old enough to read I stumbled across a rather enormous problem: it Read the rest of this entry »

To be a lady in this decade of Medical micro-dermabrasion. Ladies who are men, and Ladies who want to be men, and ladies who act like men and act as though ladies are some kind of thing that nobody would ever want to be in a million years is tough. It’s really very troublesome. Fashion is one problem, but meeting a fine Gentleman is another. There are dating sites, yes, but there are none which cater exclusively for the Read the rest of this entry »

Great Britain: responsible for adopting the ise of the travel pillow for long car journeys, such wonders as Stephen Hawking’s brain, swearing for the sake of it as an art-form, and also home to my (now deceased) good friend Greta Britain. As well as having the best name in the world, Greta had, for many years, bequeathed formerly untold knowledge to this lucky writer who writes here before you now. And Greta had many things to say. One of Read the rest of this entry »

Stress can happen from many different things such as people, incidents and issues that we deal with from day to day. If we allow stress to overtake us, it could lead into more serious issues such as illness. Although we cannot eliminate stress from our lives completely, we can reduce it significantly with some proven methods.

Although studies have shown that women handle stress more effectively than men in certain areas such as multi-tasking, juggling everyday tasks and other responsibilities, Read the rest of this entry »

Bald people get a hard time, but there is a category of people who get an even harder time, and it’s entirely understandable: they are the inbetween people. Those who lack enough hair to be worth keeping, and don’t have the courage or conviction to shave it off and go bald. It really is a tragic affair. I think that when you continue reading you will share my opinion wholeheartedly and realize that I speak only the truth.
