The Damaged

An incredible finale to the 2010 Vancouver games saw Canada deliver the holy grail to the home of hockey: the Winter Olympics gold medal, and after the most thrilling of climaxes I would suggest that the fans deserve the medal nearly as much as the heroes out on the ice.

Team Canada came into the competition more in hope than expectation. Yes, they had the historical triumphs to inspire them and home advantage but many pundits had them down as Read more…

These digital photo frames may no longer be the newest of ideas, but they are still an absolute must-have. Using one of these is a thousand times easier than keeping all your pictures in gimungous albums. And when you have a digital frame on your shelf there is always something interesting to look at in your front room!

They are so easy to use as well. When it comes to transferring your photographs onto the frame, you simply need to Read more…

The Addams family is a classic film. It’s got everything you want, if you’re into that kind of thing: comedy, horror, and enough make-up to sink a regular sized-battle ship.

And then we have The Munsters–A similar kind of thing; and maybe that’d also make a great movie, but is there really room for both? The following post discusses just that, and the debate is set to continue for some time to come, what with the 00s being the Read more…

The word Remake never used to make me tense up and frown and shout about. I don’t recall exactly when it started to happen, but in the last few years it’s been happening a lot more. And it just happened again when I read this.

For me, The Wicker Man—featuring Nicholas Cage, carved out of wood, in an acting-style cringe-worthy kind of a way, that is—tops the list as far as films which should have been left well and Read more…

Why it is that some people are bullies? Maybe they were picked-on themselves or is it simply because they are not very nice people?

Bullying has always gone on to a certain degree and it probably always will. The most popular territory for it is at school or in the workplace, but it can basically take place anywhere.

When I walked into town last night I saw a kid being picked-on in the market place. He wasn’t very tall and Read more…

When I was a kid I thought that Knight Rider was the coolest programme on TV. I used to really look forward to the weekly adventures of Michael Knight and his computerised car, KITT (‘Knight Industries Two Thousand’ if I remember correctly…).

Seeing this forum made me smile because I have been wondering what the new version is like as well. Have they changed anything? Who is it that has taken over from David Hasselhoff as the show’s star? To Read more…

Everyone seems to complain about the snow but I wonder how many people secretly like it? Of course, it makes our roads dangerous and even a walk into town and back can become a treacherous journey for the old and frail, but apart from this it is inarguably beautiful.

I find myself complaining about it just like everyone else sometimes. Why this is I don’t really know; just the herd instinct, I suppose. Although the truth is that I love Read more…

Most of us love the idea of being our own boss and working from home is something that is very appealing.

When I read this blog it got me wondering about what kind of jobs there are out there that would allow you to do this successfully. The description in this post about being inside your warm house watching the neighbours scraping the ice from their cars appealed to me especially.

There are far more people who do work from Read more…

There are so many get quick rich schemes out there. Don’t believe me? Google it. Google it right now. Go to Google and do a search for “get rich quick”. See how many people are trying to sell you money? Even more telling, is if you look at the sponsored links section (brown box at the top and down the right hand side) you can really see that people are paying in order to appear for this. If they are paying to be there, you know that there is something in it for them.  So how do you know one from the other?

Well I’m looking at two examples right now that I have recently encountered:

Success University VS Enigin PLC

So, here I am applying my body skin care cream and all of a sudden I hear smash! I throw everything down and run to the living room to find my son standing there giggling with a broken lamp next to him on the floor. What do I do? Do I scream and shout at him for breaking the lamp because surely by the way he is laughing it wasn’t an accident. So, do I spank him or give him Read more…
