A blog about the little things in life that whilst may mean nothing to some, completely grinds others gears to the point where we have to rant like stupid idiots to alleviate the pressure building in our heads. Ahh! We feel better already... but not for long... Got an interesting idea or story to share with other members of this wikizine? Well, then put on your journalist's cap and add your own article!

I like many others in life have had rejection letters or emails from jobs which have been applied for. It comes with the territory I suppose and it is one of life's bitter sweet slaps around the face. One thing I have found, and please believe me when I say I am not blowing my own trumpet, is that I have been turned down before on occasions, for being 'over qualified', which astounds me and renders me bloody aggravated at the same time. Surely being 'over qualified' means that your knowledge... Read Full Story

One of the major aspects of the human race is the ability to communicate orally , and yet for some, it also seems it is one of the hardest to engage yet alone master. You see, the word 'Hello' is such an open portal of conversation that if not used correctly can confuse a lot of people into standing hesitantly in front of you, jumping from one foot to the other, not knowing what to do next. Lets take a quick look at an example. Person A -"Hello." Person B -" Erm . Hello." - long awkward pause... Read Full Story

Maybe I am just getting on in life, but really, is there any need for some people to abbreviate every single word or phrase in the entire dictionary when your sending a text message, writing an email, or talking on MSN? Fair enough, I can cope with the odd 'lol' and a few 'wtf's' every now and again, but has our beloved *insert your language here* become so useless that we have to resort to shortening everything? I thought learning French at school was bad enough, but sooner or later, and... Read Full Story

Two weeks back I received a phone call asking me to attend an audition for an acting role. I had a long chat with the person on the phone; seemed a nice sort, young and excitable as they are. They had seen some previous work of mine, liked it very much and would I be interested in auditioning for the role?

Refuse collectors are joining other members of UNISON for a two-day strike. No rubbish or recycling collections will take place in my Worthing and Adur area on Wednesday, July 16 and Thursday, July 17 due to industrial action. Considering we pay our exorbitant council tax for such features as rubbish removal, a person on a local forum had asked the question if the Council would be refunding the public for the inconvenience. Not according to the reply from Worthing Borough Council who said... Read Full Story

A big thumbs up for Internet service operators who try to sell you more bandwidth and then increase the amount of video flash clips, big bannered ads and general crap they display on their homepage which, as a result, slows your computer down to within an inch of its life before it kick starts into reality again. It's not just the ISP's though. Nearly every web page (with the exception of beloved Google ) has a trillion ads that flash and strobe you into a jellied psychotic heap in your chair...

David Davis who triggered a by-election in his constituency of Haltemprice and Howden, in protest at the Government’s victory in the 42 days vote, is seen here sharing a laugh or two after his success in winning the local by-election . The motley assortment of candidates who stood against him ranged from "The Church of the Militant Elvis Party" to a sassy Gemma Dawn Garrett and her "Miss Great Britain Party", stood little chance of receiving any form of standing against the former shadow home...
