There are literally hundreds of survey sites on the internet now; gone are the days where there were only half a dozen or so! Bearing this in mind, it is a bit of a gamble knowing which one to sign up with…

The first problem is whether or not it is a safe site. Search results will normally give you the reputable ones on the first couple of pages, but there are always a few exceptions… But even when you Read the rest of this entry »

I was just having a look on the ‘Gadget Show’ website when I came across this brilliant Pac Man watch. For a few seconds I thought I knew exactly what to ask Santa for this year, but then realised that it would be a pretty unlikely gift to get…

Namco are only making 500 of them and it has a price tag of around $130 on it; I am devastated! I’ve always had a great love for retro games Read the rest of this entry »

I have never thought of myself as being a cruel woman but after writing this list I maybe should… Mind you, I am sure there are plenty of other girls out there who have noticed the common faults in men!

· Thoughtless.

If you have got something that is bothering you then you can rely on your man to not bother asking you about it! They just DO NOT THINK!

Been for a job interview? Well don’t go expecting HIM Read the rest of this entry »

I have always been a bit of a sucker when it comes to gadgets. My boyfriend winds me up about it but I know that he is just jealous because I am more up to date with technology than he is…

The other day I saw one of the best gizmos ever. It was when I was visiting my friend at her apartment. We were standing on the balcony smoking (she doesn’t smoke indoors) and talking about something or other. Read the rest of this entry »

I have just come across a hilarious website called, ‘Elf Yourself’. If you have ever sat and messed around with photographs on a mobile phone or Paintshop then you are going to absolutely love this! The site allows you to upload photos of people and superimpose their faces onto the bodies of elves. Once you have done this, you are then able to watch them ‘perform’ in five different dances.

The whole process is incredibly easy to complete. Read the rest of this entry »

If you are into your gadgets (like I am) then have a look at the coolestgizmo website. This is one of the best places I have ever come across for gadgetry, gimickry and novelty.

Until I discovered this site I had never even heard of ‘Zhu Zhu Pets’… If you like the idea of having a hamster, but you do not want the inconvenience of it eating the fluff on your carpet, going AWOL down the back of your sofa Read the rest of this entry »

I came across a great gadget this morning that I think will be making someone a great deal of money. It is an ‘electronic cigarette’. As far as I can make out, it is actually manufactured by more than one company because the same product is sold under several different names.

It looks like a real cigarette and it even glows when you take a ‘drag’ but the only things you are inhaling are nicotine and a harmless vapour. I Read the rest of this entry »

I have always had a great love for comics, so when I found this post I just had to have a read.

This isn’t the first time that comics have been used to raise awareness about something and it will not be the last. Since the fifties they have been used to warn people of dangers, to advertise and to educate. I can still remember the seventies anti-smoking comic campaign with Superman and Nick O’Teen.

Out of all the stories Read the rest of this entry »

Having a computer that is slow must be one of the most common problems around (apart from swine flu, greedy politicians and being ‘financially challenged’ that is). It is absolutely infuriating when you are sitting at your PC waiting for pages to change. This type of thing can tip a person over the edge…

This post called, ‘How to speed up your computer – does RAM really speed things up?’ has got some very good advice. You don’t Read the rest of this entry »

In all the time that I have been using the internet to read blogs I have never come across a post on campanology before…

This piece called; ‘Bell Ringing: Campanology is Fun’ actually makes interesting reading. It is easy to take the mickey out of people with this sort of hobby (or to ‘pull on their chain’ if you’ll forgive the pun), but it is important that British traditions are kept alive. If there weren’t still people who Read the rest of this entry »
