For the average internet user, it’s not difficult to choose a URL or domain name. Heck if I can be creative enough to think of good blog name, anyone can do it. The great thing about my job is that I get to look at about 20 new websites per day, ranging from large Blue […]
From the 26th March smoking in public places in Scotland will be banned. No cigarettes. No cigars. No tobacco. Smoke free, clean air. From my point of view this is not before time. I am a non-smoker and have lead a very active, sporty life without being tempted to smoke by social peer pressure. For […]
The English language is fantastic isn’t it? There are so many dialects and so many accents. Even travelling for as little as 30 minutes between one city and the next and you can notice the difference. Liverpool and Manchester, Yorkshire and Lancashire, Suffolk and London. And with these accent and dialect changes comes a wealth […]
I’m getting excited about a musical again – I think I should be worried. This time its Wicked the Musical, a musical about the wicked witches from the Wizard of Oz. I have said in previous posts that its takes a lot for me to go ‘wow‘, but I was lucky to be at the […]
Fantastic advertising by Unilever. The new Lynx clicker advert has taken the UK by storm, and on an average night out you’ll probably find groups of guys going round with their very own Lynx clicker, clicking each time a girl makes a pass at them.

After recently returning from a short trip to Dubai, I have to confess that I was truly amazed by the place and the cultural merge between Western and local Arabic civilization. Although I wasn’t in Dubai long, I had to get a sense of what the ‘real’ Dubai was like. Many of the new and […]
View the Sony BRAVIA advert at the bottom of this blog post! The Sony BRAVIA advert that was aired in the new year is fantastic. Adverts normally bore me senseless, but you couldn’t help but gawk at the TV screen when this advert came on. If you haven’t seen it, the advert was set amongst […]
Now this is an impressive music site. For those who get bored trying to fiddle around with online music from Yahoo! or NME then you’ll be pleased to know that this site is a breath of fresh air. Pandora.com is marketed as the ‘Music Genome Project’ where the average Joe can find and listen to […]
Paintballing is now my new favorite past time. There is nothing more satisfying than hearing the yelp as you plant a perfect sniper shot on one of your colleagues backsides! Bedlam paintball was a great laugh, and something I’d certainly do again. There are different games from skirmish and capture the flag, to everyman for […]
