Watching the Void

Make Me Perfect

I’ve just watched an episode of this programme, in horror, wondering if it’s possible that such a programme can exist. All of the participants are women, which is still sending out the message that women have to be physically attractive otherwise they are somehow a failure.

Of course it follows in the wake of plenty of other programmes of a similar nature and is far from the only perpetrator of crimes against women.

The woman I saw in the programme More

Good Business Sense

The thing which really annoys me, and the thing I so often see whenever I find myself on yet another business-only blog, is the whole ‘we are trying to help everyone, it isn’t only about our own business’ malarkey. But that’s the thing, isn’t it? It really is usually only about the business in question. What proof is there that power-hungry businesses want to love and support those around them? Usually none. Fortunately that isn’t the case at the following More

Being All Heroic

Those magnificent Heroes, don’t you just love watching them pretend to be all boring and normal and every-day, when actually they make Superman look a bit pathetic and Spiderman, well, almost redundant? The world has gone Heroes crazy! But if that’s the case then how come nobody seems to know who plays any of these mysterious characters? Back in my day a fan knew all that and more! So much more!

So how come some modern fans can’t More

Mansplaining

One new and considerably useful word I came across whilst surfing the internet was the curious notion of ’mainsplaining’. What’s mainsplaning, you ask? Unfortunately, I can pretty much assure that it’s something that, as a woman, you’ve come across in your life time.
Mainsplaining refers to when a man explains something to a woman in a patronizing manner, as though she’s entirely ignorant about whatever it is that he’s talking about. Ah, is that a look of recognition I see More

Prepare Yourself, Girls.

I wonder if there really is such a thing as reincarnation. Well, I do know one something for certain, if there is then I am coming back as a man next time! I am sick and tired of being a girl; everything is just so hard and it really isn’t fair!

We are expected to be these pretty little creatures that flit around daintily merely for the pleasure of men. But men don’t know the half of it! We girls More

England’s Biggest Heating Bill.

I think that I may have inadvertently stumbled upon a conspiracy to do with global warming…

According to this news story we are actually preventing a mini ice age by releasing loads of Co2 emissions into the atmosphere! If this is true then it is no wonder why our government don’t want to do a lot to change anything.

You don’t know what I mean? Well, let me get to the point; at the moment, if you are claiming benefits More

On Yer Bike!

We might not all like it but posts such as, ‘Get out of Your Car and Get Green on Your Bike’ make an awful lot of sense. A lot of us travel ludicrously short distances in our cars just because it has become a habit. There are lots of places that are well within walking distance if we think about it.

The bottom line is that by spending more of our travelling times on foot or on a bike we More

It’s Not Only Jacko Who’s Dead.

I was really pleased to find this, ‘Michael Jackson in Black and White’ post. For quite a while now I have been thinking that it must only be me who is tired of the Jacko hysteria which is sweeping across the world. Yeah, it’s a shame that he died but it is a shame when anyone dies.

Just because Michael Jackson was a household name it does not mean that his life had any more value than anyone else’s. What More

Writing - The Fun Way To Get Paid

Following my thoughts about using your blog as a type of personal CV, I thought I would write about something that I really find interesting regarding online work!
More and more these days you see people getting paid for their writing abilities. What a concept? Who would have thought that you could write 250 or more word articles about things you are passionate about and actually get paid to do it.

These days, there are more opportunities online where you More

Hello Kids

Hi Guys I’ve decided to start up an online journal. I spend half my time reading all your so I wanted to get in on the action. Like the obediate little slave to peer pressure that I am. Any I read this report about how ‘Blogs’ are like you new CV. Which from reading yours seems a little damming.
