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

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...

I can't be helped. I hate not knowing how to do things, and taking advice from those closest to me, I just find impossible. I don't know what it is, but I get all frustrated and angry, and end up throwing the towel in. Where as coming from people I don't know, I manage alot better. I like to be good at things, and I hate it when I am in a position where I just don't know what to do. So, this leads us to a little problem. Just a little one. My bloke wants to teach me how to play chess. Because 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.

There is a really annoying advert doing the rounds here in sunny 'ol England at the moment.  It's for Kellogs Frosties.  It has a jingle that is so annoying that you can't help but sing it.  It only takes seeing the advert once, and you are hooked trust me.  They are going to taste greeeeeeeeeeat!  Here's the link for you brave souls that are into self abuse Link .  I have to say I find this kid, and the advert extremely annoying.  I was at my sisters the othe...

You come across alot of things on the internet that you are unsure to believe or not. If it sounds good, I tend to believe it, if not, I don't. Who needs facts, huh? I came across an article today that told of a man called Darren Sherman who met a woman called Joanne through J-Date which is match.com for Jews. These two meet through this site, Darren asks Joanne out on a date, and they go and eat at a restaurant. Sounds good so far, right? Darren pays, though Joanne offers to half the check. At...

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'...

I watched a TV show last night, that was all about the school days.  I am one of these sad people who really misses school, and I do look back fondly at my school days.  Obviously I didn't realise at the time just how much I would miss them!  This show had celebrities on it, talking about their favourite teachers, and their memories of school, and it was quite a nice little programme.  One thing they did with each celeb was show a picture of them as a school child, and they w...

I woke up today in a much better mood, and the sun was shining, so I decided to go for a nice leisurely walk in the park. Good idea, right? Years ago, when I was much younger, I could waste away hours in the park. For the life of me I can't actually remember what I was doing, but at that age time flew by without me taking that much notice of it. I took my walk in the late afternoon when the kids were just getting out of school, so there was quite a mixture of people about the place. Some playin...

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'm a chick. Well I was last time I checked. As a chick, I realise that women bitch about other women ALOT. Not all women do it, but a fair few that I know bitch, and moan about other women, and I don't understand why they do it. Men are equally as guilty of this behaviour, I have listened to some men bitch, and they put us women to shame, they have it down to a fine art. I'm not talking about men though, because it is the women doing it that really bothers me. I come from a family ...

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...
