' With all the profits from viewer's phone calls going to the charity 'Mind'. 4) The return of Gladiators, featuring senior bankers and real lions. Any suggestions.....? Read Full Story

That's it, I've had enough! The mindless driving I have experienced tonight has left me speechless with pent up fury. People driving the wrong way down a lane, others blindly setting off just as I go to pass them. Then there was the person who abandoned their flippin' vehicle in the middle of the lane, while they have a chat to someone they knew who was going the other way. It's nearly driven me insane tonight, and that's not all. I narrowly avoided an accident with one woman driver who was... Read Full Story

Having slid, stumbled, slithered down our drive recently due to the copious volumes of snow that have fallen on it. I am familiar with the slippery nature of snow, by dint of first-hand experience. So when I found this photo of an individual snowflake recently I was reminded of a question that occurred to me when I was a child and first saw such photo's, - how come snow is slippery? It's plainly full of points and spiky so surely it should be grippy, not slippy? After all surely all snow... Read Full Story

I wonder how many people are like me, you arrive at the end of a year and as you peer forward over the threshold of the new year and your mind turns to those new year's resolutions - but you only have the vaguest recollection of those you made this time last year? Sure there might be one that you have sort of stuck with, but by and large they have been eroded away as the events of the past year have taken place. If you are one of those people who stuck with and saw through all your... Read Full Story

I read today that Nokia are recalling 14 million phone chargers, I think that's roughly 10 times the number we have in the back of cupboards and stuffed into the junk drawer in the office. How did they all get there? Do they breed in there or what? Why can I never find one to fit the current model when it's bleeping at me and using up the last of the charge in it's battery? (How much longer would the charge last if it didn't keep on bleeping?) Why do we keep these things? Is it just my family... Read Full Story

I read somewhere that creativity is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, so feeling somewhat uninspired I decided to apply the logic. After forty minutes of hard exercise, whilst wearing two sweatshirts and with the central heating on full blast I am now soaked in sweat, and breathlessly hoping for that 1% of inspiration to miraculously appear. So far my wait is in vain. I press on, determined to write a piece for this flippin' blog, having decided that maybe the 1% will show up when I'm... Read Full Story
