Idle Times

Email Tragedy

I used to love writing letters. The entire process, from start to finish–The planning what to write–The actual painstaking business of writing itself, followed by the sliding the paper in to the envelope. Ah…There was something so magical about that, but even better was receiving a letter. You felt like the most special person on earth–

Emails destroyed all that of course. No longer did I feel special or unique. They wrecked several hundred—if not thousand—years worth of letter writing More

Mr Nuts

Life, eh? Take firsthips for example: if you’re a girl and you get them early then all the other girls get jealous and hate you (I’m not a girl and never was one, but have it on strict authority that this is the case). If they come too late then that’s a nightmare too: you have to spend years being known as the girl with no hips. To be honest, going through life and not getting grief / being More

Hands

Hands are so wicked aren’t they? There are so many uses from hands, from operating heavy machinery, turning door-handles, fondling stuff, lacing up your mizuno running shoes , tossing lettuce about to make an exquisite salad, and generally doing all the things that feet will never be able to do (unless you’re one of those weird people who can do stuff with their feet: if you are I suggest you don’t toss lettuce. That’s pretty disgusting–).

But hands can get More

Lottery Git

I will be the first to admit I know nothing about the real number logic behind the The National Lottery. Which anyone who knows me will not be surprised by in the least. At school, I was that child who held the rest of the class back because he didn’t understand every little detail and was never satisfied. Throughout my life my intrigue has presented problems, from catching the bus to job interviews where I ended up asking more questions More

Wisdom And Why You Need It

Wisdom: if you were around in the olden-days it meant everything. If you were a magician it meant understanding how to conjure a rabbit out of a hat without decapitating it and ruining the life and future sleep of a child in the front row, and if you were a wizard then there were probably whole parties just to celebrate the word itself. Whatever you did Wisdom was crucial. But then, one day, everything changed. Firstly impressive Victorian frocks came More

Face Ratera

Be honest, there’s nobody else reading this but you: How shallow are you? Do you look at your face one hundred times a day and wince at the sight of a face which doesn’t cut it? Or maybe you’re obsessed with smiles? Does a fish-faced smile make you want to slap someone around and scream “Get a good face will you!!!”

Then Ratemyface.com is for you. It’s a web-site designed to specifically cater for the shallowest and most vain people More

Sock Logic

Some things in life will never be explained; no matter how far we travel along the path to technological progression, a number of things will remain unexplainable: sock logic is one of them–

Why do so many people have a problem with odd socks?

I realize that many people believe, fundamentally, that aesthetically speaking, any break-away from the norm might constitute a reason to worry about that person’s mental health, but really, should socks come under such scrutiny? For what More

Eternal Hulk

I love nothing more than a good discussion about whether or not a film should be remade or not; while an enormous part of me is screaming “Don’t do it! It was fine the first time around!” the other small bit—tiny, in some cases, especially small after being subjected to Nicholas Cage’s mess in The Wicker Man—wants to know what else could come of a character. One such character is the discussion of the following forum post.

Yes, the More

The Fear Of Not Knowing.

We really are living through scary times in Britain.

The threat of a terror attack is very real and is never far from our minds. But in periods where the country’s security level is racked up a notch it is even more of a worry. Obviously, the authorities are not going to tell us why it has been raised, but there must be a very good reason for it.

I wonder if we will ever get back to a point More
