I watched a television documentary last night that was about the Muslims that are living in Britain today. There is 1.8 Million Muslims here. This show was digging into just what they wanted, and what would make them happy living here. I guess the free education and healthcare just isn't enough. They did a survey that interviewed over 1000 Muslims from all over England. They interviewed many on their own, and the programme basically told you what they had found out and showed some of these inte...
I saw this: and I was pretty freaked out. Is it just me or is this slightly weird? The model of the two-month-old baby is in Madame Tussauds in New York. This is the youngest model to be created at the Times Square museum. She is laid in a nursery with Mummy and Daddy watching over her. Visitors can pay to have their picture taken with the family, and $1 will go to children's charity Unicef! Which is good..... Janine DiGioacchino, general manager at M...
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...
Pretty soon I won't be able to wipe my arse without first asking the permission of someone from google. I tell you that company is planning world domination, and it isn't far off. I was reading an article today on my beloved BBC website (someone told me I was sad for having that as my homepage the other day, but what do they know, their homepage is some porn site!) and it was regarding google putting the boot in on unsafe websites. Now when you do a search on google, and they provide links,...
My sister and her fella went away last weekend. For a nice break to the Lake District. A nice scenic place where you get to relax, and enjoy the quiet life. There are a few little villages in the surrounding areas that you can visit, and enjoy the nice country pubs, and long walks. Sounds nice, doesn't it? My sister text me quite a few times that weekend, mostly to check up on Maddy, and make sure everything was alright. I could sense something wasn't right. Probably because she is my sister an...
I try and keep my blog as free of personal issues as possible. Even though when I have a problem, writing about it is probably the best way that I can work through it. Today I have a problem, and I don't really have anyone to talk about it with, or anyone that wants to listen. So I guess I am feeling at a loss, and here is the only place that I feel like I can write whatever I want, and maybe even get some words of advice, or support, and I think words like that would help alot at the moment. I...
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. Link
I wonder how many women dream of having children when they are younger. Of getting married and living happily ever after. When we are children, little girls generally play with dolls, and drink imaginary cups of tea in their imaginary houses, and little boys run off and get dirty, and find trouble. It's just what kids do. I would also say that many women reach a certain stage in their lives where they want to have a family and have children and look after them, and many are also willing to put ...
So blogs still seem to fascinate me, I am not exactly sure why, you would really think that I would of got over it by now, but I just don't seem to be able too. I really enjoy blogging, and the interaction, and it would seem that alot of other people are starting to enjoy this little craze. Google blog search is, erm..different, but at the same time it can open you up to alot of different blogs and perspectives on things, and that can only be a good thing. When I was looking through, I came acro...
I am ready to lose an old friend. A friend that is good to me. A friend that I have grown very fond of. It is time for us to both be glad of the time we have had together and go our separate ways. We have had some good times together, and some bad times, and some confusing times (well for me at least) and now is the time to cut our losses, and call it a day. Yes folks, that's right, me and my beloved computer are parting, forever. The end of a big romance, how will I ever cope? The thing is I a...
So I did the impossible, the thing that I have found so difficult to do for so long. The thing that seems to escape me, and be just that bit out of my reach, and what is that I hear you cry? Well, I've met a guy, and not just any guy, a really nice, decent guy, who I like alot. You want to know the craziest thing of all out of all this? Well he thinks exactly the same things about me. I know this, because he tells me at every opportunity he can. I don't have great taste when it comes to men. I'...
Does marriage work? Does monogamy work? I guess that depends pretty much on who you are, and what your thoughts and feeling are about that particular subject. I think the majority of us would like it to work, but as the statistics prove, it doesn't always work. Two in five marriages here in the UK end in divorce. Infidelity is the cause of around a third of all marriage break-ups. Things aren't looking good for monogamy. Afterall we are a different society to the one our grandparents grew up in...
I have a friend who had a baby a while a go. At the time her and her partner were not living together. Even though they were together, and they had a baby together. He lived with a friend, and she had a flat of her own. They were quite happy with this situation, except they had one issue. They couldn't have sex. They found it difficult to have it at his place, because the person he lived with was always about, and the baby was at her house, and in the early days that just didn't feel right to t...
So...this weekend I have enjoyed life through the eyes of a two (almost three) year old. I have enjoyed the joys of running around the garden like a mad woman, pretending I am a pretty butterfly. I have enjoyed singing nursery rhymes at the top of my voice and making loud farm yard animal noises to go with said songs. I have enjoyed getting messy, and painting pictures. I've enjoyed riding a scooter that is meant for a two year old. I've enjoyed playing on swings at the park, going down slides,...
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...
