Money, eh? The stuff is like an infection: once you’re infected then it’s impossible to extricate, and the less you have the more you want to ween yourself onto it. In some ways, money is like a drug which you can’t not take. And it’s worse than all the other drugs, too. It’s the backbone of all other drugs. Even if all the problems in the world disappeared then money would still exist. It’s here for good now, and all Read the rest of this entry »

Time to own up: are you the person in the office who is masquerading as an office worker and behind that grim grey suited exterior harbors a secret outlandish fantasy to be a professional snowboarder or BMX rider? Or maybe you’re always on-line and when the boss walks past you sneakily hit a special combination on your keyboard which sends a message to the chat recipient saying BOSS! Good! If that’s you then prepare yourself for an article of fun-overload. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been pondering getting a second tattoo for a very long time but haven’t got round to doing it. I remember the pain and this puts me off!
One night, at home I notice my woodblock out of the corner of my eye and think what a lovely design it is – Indian flowers and tendrils. That would make a good tattoo, I think. Knowing that any design will be on my body permanently, I decide to mull it over Read the rest of this entry »

I’m convinced that there are people out there who’s only purpose in life is to track down the things we all know and love and remove them from our daily lives: proof of these people can be exhibited in many ways; one of them is the disappearance of that thing so wonderful: the Whoopee Cushion.
Now, there’s something I haven’t said; you can still get this infamous thing, you just can’t get it like you could.

‘Breathe’ by The Prodigy is a rather edgy video. It’s fun to watch, but the possible themes behind it all are quite dark. I don’t think that anyone knows exactly what it’s about. Is it to do with drugs? Does it centre on confrontation (and the buzz it can give you)? It may even be talking about some strange and dangerous sex game. Or perhaps it merely revolves around how to not get on with your neighbours.

For as long as I can remember I have had a huge love for horror compendium films. There is just something wonderfully entertaining about a movie that is split into four or five creepy short stories. The oldest one that I am aware of is the brilliant ‘Dead of Night’ from 1945.
However, the golden age of horror anthologies was in the 1970s. Hammer and Amicus studios seemed to be making a never-ending stream of films. Each of them was Read the rest of this entry »

So, it is not actually a definite thing that washing your hands can stop the spread of swine flu… Well, it certainly isn’t going to have a negative effect, is it?
Even if washing your mitts doesn’t stop swine flu from being passed around then it is not a bad habit to get into. How many other horrible germs and infections are there out there waiting to be caught? Surely, having clean hands is better than having dirty ones. If Read the rest of this entry »
