It’s not often it happens but we were away at the weekend staying in a pretty swanky hotel. There was a good deal on and I thought, why not? We checked in early enough, checked out the room and all the extras and then went for a walk before heading back for a bite […]
My sister came to me for advice at the weekend. She wanted to know if I could suggest any tailgating recipes to her. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she asked me. I mean, why ask me?! She had me worried for a few minutes when she asked if she could […]
Thank goodness for reminder applications on phones. I’m absolutely useless at remembering birthdays and other special dates. There are just too many things to remember. Anyway, the battery on my cell went dead and I couldn’t find a charger anywhere. I think I was more than 24 hours without my cell! Thankfully when I did […]
My brother and his bride to be are getting hitched later this year and we’re all heading away for the big event. I’m his best man and just this weekend we picked up the wedding bands. They’re really cool tungsten wedding bands. They’re trying to decide whether or not to have them engraved […]

I’m in two minds about changing my phone to a blackberry storm but I’m hearing mixed reports about it. Our company uses smart phones for all its employees and up until now we’ve all chosen our own phone and used company SIMs. But now the company wants to unify things and has decided […]
We are hosting what we anticipate will be a very successful seminar next month and our health and safety officer has brought up the subject of whether or not we need portable barriers to cordon off areas for people’s safety and general well-being. Now, the powers that be have gone all gung-ho and have […]
