Most people are fed up with hearing doctors on day-time television programmes stating how important it is to drink the correct amount of water each day, and adverts for water filters, mineral waters and the like. And many people believe mineral water is a fad and see no need to spend money on anything other than good old British tap water, which is no bad thing given that some areas of...

How To Drive The Cars Of The Stars Published on 04/02/2009

It\'s Friday night, you go to the cinema to watch the latest action packed blockbuster, you leave the cinema feeling excited and dreaming of driving the car you\'ve just seen on the big screen. But of course, to buy that car would set you back at least three times your salary. We can but dream! But who says you have to buy the car in order for it to be yours? And I\'m not talking about...

There are many essentials for your handbag, many \'can absolutely not do without\' items that must be with you when leaving the house. The three \'L\'s\': lippy, liner and lip sole; chewing gum; mirror; hairbrush; foundation; ipod; mobile; purse; keys; and most important of all, make-up brushes.

Are BMW Drivers Tarnishing The German Giants\' Brand? Published on 02/02/2009

BMW claim to make the ultimate driving machines, they almost always look sleek and expertly built, apart from the 1 series, which to me resembles a loaf of bread, albeit a loaf of stale, rock hard bread, and each series seems to be reinvented with minimum fuss yet maximum style. BMW build purposeful cars for many different purposes, and they remain best at making efficient speedsters too....

Vehicle Tracking On The Increase Published on 02/02/2009

Big Brother is everywhere. I\'m not talking about the channel four reality (if you can call it that) TV show, I\'m talking about people watching your every move, your every word, your every action, your every reaction... CCTV is everywhere, which is a good thing, if only they improved the quality of the cameras so the authorities could actually make out a little detail on the faces of...

Making An Exhibition Of Yourself Published on 02/02/2009

Taking the next step for a newish company can be as exciting as it is difficult, but one of the best ways to get your business out there is through an exhibition - and there are many in the UK. There are up to 400 exhibitions held in the UK each year, ranging from big events such as The Ideal Homes Show at London\'s Earls Court and Grand Designs Live at Excel to smaller exhibitions such as...

The Pre-Match Rituals Of A Football Fan Published on 02/02/2009

Football fans can be odd creatures. I\'m a football fan and although I think I\'m perfectly normal, my missus would tell you otherwise! I have been obsessed with the game since I was a little boy, and although the game has changed in many ways over the last couple of decades, I will always be hooked. There\'s something quite special about matchdays especially. As a nipper, I remember waking...

What\'s In Store For Self Storage? Published on 02/02/2009

Self storage buildings may be mundane and cumbersome, in keeping with the homogenised post-modern town model where every place is quickly becoming a caricature of another, but such companies as Safestore, Big Yellow and the like most certainly have their purpose and place, maybe even more so with more and more repossessions taking place in these difficult times. And the credit crunch has...

Honda Hit Hard By Global Economic Downturn Published on 01/02/2009

That pesky recession! Who does it think it is, coming over here, taking our jobs, hitting everyone in the pocket, grabbing all the headlines, making the lives of us Brits a misery? The best way for Britain to cope with the dire straits that is the recession, is to put on a brave face. Britain may not be the best in the world at many things these days, but one thing we are good at is having a...

Your Workspace Says A Lot About Your Business Published on 01/02/2009

Gone are the days where every office looked the same - grey, laminated MDF inspired (or uninspired should I say) areas that did little to motivate those unlucky enough to be stuck in there, trying to get the best out of themselves in order to better their careers. Today, many office spaces express the style and integrity of the business, and if they don\'t, they should do - especially if...
