I do enjoy a good curry, and being typically British, the hotter the better. No takeaway can make one hot enough for me, so I have had a couple of stabs at making one entirely from scratch at home. Boy; Is it worth it. Not only do you save a packet of cash, but it’s [...]

It’s been a while since I’ve lived with my parents; 12 years in fact. When I was 14 my Mum divorced my Dad, so I stayed with Dad (in agreement with Mum) and that was that for another 7 years. I then met my now soon-to-be-ex wife at 21, got our own rented place and [...]

A true spring day is with us. Glorious sunshine, half reasonable temperatures and a light breeze. What more could you ask for? Take pleasure in the little things, and the bigger things will take care of themselves.

Have you ever stopped for just a moment and considered how much of your life is stored digitally on your hard drive in that beige box of yours? Go on, take a moment now… Family photos? Holiday videos? Work reports? Personal diary? Digital media (iTunes and the like)?

And lo, how dreadfully disappointed was I to find that whilst the handset works fine, the base station and/or its power supply doesn’t even power up.
I’ve sent an email to the supplier, but my hopes of being fully VoIP’ed by the end of the day have been dashed. What a complete waste [...]

I’ve recently jumped on the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) wagon, and what fun it is! My reasons range from the mundane, i.e. did you know your credit score with some companies is higher if you give them a land line number than a mobile?), to exotic: I wanted to be able to have various [...]

I recently got back from a wonderful holiday in Cyprus. A friend suggested I go with him as we’d both had a dreadful emotional time recently (my wife left me, and his sadly passed away), so I jumped at the opportunity for a little R&R, having managed to get the time off work by the skin [...]

I’ve always dreamed of owning my own home. One failed marriage and 3 years of wasted money renting, I’m no nearer to that goal. What I am, is more determined than ever. I want my own place to call ‘home’, a home that I can model and mould to my own tastes and not have to [...]
