"Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood."

I watched a television show last night about a fat man. I would tell you the name of the show, but it was slightly rude, so probably best I don't. This programme was about life through is eyes, and through the lives of other overweight people that were involved with this programme. If I am honest I found it all quite shocking, about, how mentally they are so completely caught up with their weight, and it effects almost every aspect of life. People are getting fatter, generally, and still it wou...

I love writing. When I say writing, I mean actually writing. Seeing my scruffy handwriting working its way down the page. Actually physically doing it, and feeling it. I can't explain it. These days I type everything, and it somehow takes the romance away from it. The only thing I actually write is my diary. I could start doing it on my PC, but I really don't want to. I love curling up somewhere....anywhere, and writing. I don't think that I will ever beat that feeling. Many years ago I had...

My mind can sometimes be a scary place to be. I sometimes shock myself with the mad things I come up with and then I usually share them with the lucky folks of JU! AOL Released the search histories of over 650,000 users. It made me think just what would people find if they looked through my search history. Here is just a few examples of what they found.... AOL user 311045 apparently owns a Scion XB automobile in need of new brake pads that is in the process of being upgraded with performan...

I was late for work today. I was sat on the bus, cursing the bus driver, traffic, early mornings, and the fat guy who was pratically sat on my knee. Life just wasn't all that sweet at 8am this morning. There was police about the place, and a section of a bridge was sectioned off. I didn't really pay much attention, as I was to busy directing my anger at the rest of the world. It was only later that I learnt that the police were there because a woman was threatening to jump of that bridge, and t...

I always knew as a chick I was a little richer than men, but now it's official. According to the Inland Revenue there are now more female millionaires aged between 18 and 44 than there are males. Currently women own 48% of the nation's personal wealth, but there are predictions this will rise to 60% by 2025. Nicola Horlick, herself an extremely successful business woman, launched Bramdiva, a financial advisory service for women with assets of a million pounds or more. She started trying to ...

Monday mornings are designed to make you feel crappy. There is just no doubt about it at all. You look and feel rougher than usual. Well at least I do. This Monday morning was no different. I was up at the ungodly hour of 7am. I know, how ever do I cope! I had to run about like a headless chicken, because I'm not one to prepare things. Where's the fun in that? So at about 8am I found myself in the middle of town, resembling the living dead, and searching for somewhere to get my picture taken. I...

My Grandad is a lovely bloke. I see many of my traits in him, he is loud and opinionated, and me and him are capable of having some good discussions, and along the way he teaches me alot, and that is important. At the moment his philosophy on life is, he is at an age where he can say what he wants, without worrying about offending people....and well he does. Now to an extent I agree with this. You should be open and honest about what you think, and generally in the bigger picture people will re...

This is a video of a stunt in a playground where two girls were thrown from a roundabout that was powered by a moped.  Police here are investigating this footage after they were alerted from people who had seen the footage on a US website.  Considering the girls look to be only about 12/13 it is pretty bad.  The roundabout looks to reach about 20mph and then the girls are thrown off.  Not nice.  It isn't nice so be warned before you look.

My next door neighbour is a strange little man. He has never actually done anything to me, he is just strange. Sometimes he acknowledges my excistence and then other days he looks right through me. It just really depends on which way the wind is blowing. Sometimes he talks, sometimes he doesn't, sometimes he stares, sometimes he doesn't. He is just strange. He doesn't know me, and I don't know him. There are people who I see everyday, and I don't have a clue about any part of their life. I don'...

This just really amused me, and I had to share. I'll just give you the short version of this story, and then you can look at the link. A guy sold a broken laptop on ebay. The person who bought the laptop managed to fix it, and in the process managed to get hold of alot of personal pictures and information that this guy had on it. He then set up a webpage all about it..... Link

I'm talentless. This isn't me looking for a pity vote, or feeling sorry for myself. This my friends is a harsh reality. There is nothing I shine at. There is nothing I have a natural ability in. That I can see myself doing, and I know that I'm good at it. I'm decidedly average at most things, and really bad at a few. You would think that there was at least one thing I was good at, or one thing that I showed natural ability in, but there really isn't. I do consider myself to be average...

I'm not a girly girl. I'm not to fussed if more than one hair is out of place. I don't burst into flames if someone sees me without make-up on. My world doesn' come crumbling to a horrible end if my outfit doesn't exactly match. All these things just don't bother me. I like to look nice, and I like to feel good, I just don't put a great importance on these things. I have friends who spend hours in the mirror making themselves look good by caking make-up on, and doing their hair. To be ...

I sometimes wonder how my sisters and I turned out so well adjusted (well two out of three isn't bad). My Dad is a lovely man. I completely adore him. However, some of his views leave me wanting to bang my head against a brickwall, and any attempt made on my part to discuss these views with him, usually leave me feeling like I have banged my head against a brickwall. Since I was at school, I have read books, and learned alot of things. This means I have really strong and opinions on th...

When I was eighteen I worked in a shop whilst I was at college. I worked there for about two years, and quite enjoyed it. I'm the kind of person that lacks motivation, I need a good kick up the backside to get started on something, but once I do, I like to do well at it. I don't like to fail, and I try my very best not to. Now this was a reasonably small shop, and I was given more responsibilty than I probably should of being given at eighteen. One day the Manager organised job intervie...
