2008

Artwork has taken on a whole new form with the advent of computers. I'm sure we all remember the early days of computerised tennis, batting a 'ball' backwards and forwards across a screen brought in a whole new meaning to interaction with computers and within an amazingly short space of time, everyone had computers. At first, many households simply had them for the games and it's only been in...

New Hair Removal Method For Surfers Published on 30/09/2008

There can't be that many surfers, particularly around the British coast, that are silly enough to brave the elements of British waters without a wetsuit. The wetsuit has been a godsend for those surfing fanatics who are not content with only participating in their sport for the 2.6 weeks of summer that this country gets. Wetsuits have opened up the whole sport to something that you can do...

Press One To Talk To Another Automated Service Published on 30/09/2008

You know how it goes - you think that whatever your issue of the day is, one simple phone call should sort it out. Do you never learn? Do you not know by now that with the advent of answering services and call centres mean that no single problem is sorted with one phone call. Take the utility companies for instance. If you have an issue with a bill they have sent, you might just as well pay...

Moves To Make Us Pay For Food And Speech On Airplanes Published on 26/09/2008

Airport parking facilities are owned by companies outside the realms of the airlines themselves and offer various services depending on the park that you use. Prices will vary depending on the location of the airport parking lot - the closer to the terminal, the more expensive the stay. They also have optional extras that mean a security guard might possibly be patrolling the area, your car may...

Dating For The Young At Heart Published on 26/09/2008

It's funny the way your outlook changes through the years when it comes to love and relationships. For teenagers, they all think they have invented love and lust and that nobody over the age of twenty five understands how this truly feels. The majority of the relationships that begin at this age are hormone fuelled infatuations. Granted, there are some that stand the test of time but most of...

No Time For The Weak And Feeble Published on 25/09/2008

Due to the credit crunch and imminent recession, businesses all over the country are pulling in their belts. However, many of them are getting it wrong. They are cutting corners on customer services which leads to les satisfied customers and a distinct lack of recommendations to others. This costs them dearly in future business but they are only looking at the short term savings. Other ways...

Is This A Good Time To Own An Investment Property Published on 25/09/2008

For those of us who have enjoyed income from investment property over the last few years, the ground is looking a little shaky to say the least. Houses prices have slumped, interest rates have risen, the cost of living has gone through the roof and people are extremely wary of buying, selling or even renting property due to the current economic situation. However, while home owners may...

How Are Surf Shops Keeping Their Heads Above The Waves Of Recession Published on 25/09/2008

If there's one big attraction to water sports it has to be the fact that boundaries are pretty limitless in comparison to other sports. You won't find fences or markers to hold you in. There are no whistles blown or referees to contend with and pretty much the rules are only governed by the fact that you don't want to die doing it. Nature is something that man has long wanted to be the...

The Air Hostess Versus The Diet Coke Man Published on 24/09/2008

We spend all our childhood trying to get out of wearing a school uniform or at the very least, trying to adapt it to our own style and give it a touch of individualism. I have to say, I was one of those girls that rolled the waistband of my school skirt to make it shorter in line with fashionable mini-skirts of the time and I don't think there were many boys in my class that hadn't tried to get...

Fashion Over Function For Some People Published on 24/09/2008

There is some confusion over the use of sunglasses. Celebrities see them as a disguise, funnily enough. We wouldn't take any notice of the stretch limousine pulling up, the plethora of suited and booted bodyguards that emerge from surrounding armour plated vehicles to usher the limo rider through the doors of the exclusive restaurant and we wouldn't wonder why the said person was entering a...
