Yesterday, I posted 20 rules for women by men. Today, I’m redressing the balance. Just for you Renee, and all the other lovely ladies out there. Eastenders’ omnibus edition is over an hour long, this would be the perfect time to mow the lawn, tinker with the car, or any of the 20 other things […]

Funny Monday
MEMO to all staff: “A seminar on how to dress for casual day will be held at 4pm followed by a fashion show.” Dilbert says: “Am I getting smart with you? How would you know?” “Someday we’ll look back on all this and plough into a parked car.” “An optimist is simply a pessimist with […]
Budget Airlines; cheap but not always cheerful!
There’s no doubt that ‘no thrills’ airlines, such as Easyjet and Ryanair, have contributed to the increasing popularity of air travel. With prices starting from just a penny per leg, millions click and charge their way to exotic locations every year. I mean so what if the flight cost 1p without and £30 with taxes, […]
