Whoever invented computer viruses should be shot! If you have ever had a virus on your pc, you will know how frustrating it can be. With pop ups occurring every second, file names being changed, slowness of the computer and everything else that it involves; it just adds up to being a complete and utter nightmare! (more…)

Do you ever find that all the news that you hear about on telly or that you read about in the papers seems to be so depressing? If it’s not the new plague that will kill a large percentage of the population, then it is a new war somewhere in the world! (more…)

Why is it that many travel agents will advise potential customers against visiting  certain countries, and also refuse to help them with finding information about the place you want to go? Most of the time travel agents are great, and will do their utmost to help you.

Have you ever house shared with anyone who has no regard at all to common courtesy? Living in a house where you have to share the kitchen should not be a problem, if everyone just kept to themselves and had a little bit of respect for one another. (more…)

If you have any problems with your mobile phone, or your landline or anything else that you use on a regular basis, there is a telephone number that you can phone to speak to the help desk. This is all good and well, and should in theory be all that you need to get you going again. Yet, almost all of the help lines connect you straight to India or Bangladesh, and you end up talking to someone who more often than not cannot understand you. The issue is not that the help desk is half way across the world, but that there is a genuine language barrier that cannot be ignored. (more…)

Why does the media always make things so terrible for people? Every day you read the headlines of the papers and it is full of gossip and vindictive news about individuals? Do they get no privacy at all? (more…)

Car taxes have recently gone up in price; apparently only for gas guzzling vehicles though! Yet people who bought large cars years ago are not only being punished for what kind of car they have, but also by the hike in petrol prices all over the country!

Consistency should be one of the most important things that a chef should strive for in a restaurant. You may have found a dish that you absolutely loved last time you were at a restaurant and have raved about it ever since. When you go back to the same pub or restaurant for the second time, and order the same dish again, you expect it to come out looking and tasting the same as it did the first time around. (more…)

In many countries all over the world, people are encouraged to do the recycling with various incentives. In the UK, it seems like it is the opposite way around and you are punished if you do your recycling wrong. How many times have you heard of the bins being left behind when a bit of plastic has ended up in the green bin? Or bins being emptied on the lawn and checked randomly to ensure that you have done it properly? This is no way to encourage people to want to recycle! (more…)
