My friend is going away to South Korea, just her and her zombie strawberry blonde Barbie doll on a pig, and I’m going to miss her. She really is great to have around. If she wasn’t here, I’d literally have to make coffee for myself all the time.
But I wish her well on her big [...]
An Unlikely Osteopath Tale
Nov 26th, 2009 by PaPa in The Outer Limits
Of course, I couldn’t find one straight away, I had to sit the pain out in the bars that edged the Pantheon Square. Luckily, these bars stocked a range of tasty alcoholic beverages and this, it transpired, helped the pain immensely. I still needed an osteopath, but I was contented with the dull ache in my back.

You can travel around the world from your living room these days. YouTube is a great way to get into people’s heads. True, most of the stuff on YouTube is rubbish, but you do get the odd gem.

The counties surrounding London might not seem like the place where high tech industry exists, but in truth [...]

Gaze up at the famous gilt clock face of Big Ben in the autumn sunshine, cross the bridge over the murky Thames and enjoy the smell of the hot dog stands and flag sellers as you reach the other side. Pass under the immense London Eye and decide not join the excited queue; instead you [...]

Galloway Forest Park has been awarded ‘Dark Skies’ status, meaning that it is exceptionally easy to see millions of stars from within its boundaries. While there are even more remote locations in the UK in which to go star gazing, the park in south west Scotland has been given the status because of the large number of people who can reach it relatively easy.
British Airways and Spanish carrier Iberia have announced a proposed merger in which BA will be the dominant partner. Once the deal gets regulatory backing, British Airways will hold 55% of the new company, and Iberia the remaining 45%.
British Airways made a pre-tax loss of £292 million, with Iberia expecting to announce large losses too. [...]
Level 2. This is a nifty little level, and is just a little bit too hot. If your mother in law (it’s always the mother in law, isn’t it?) comes round to visit and she is spending a little too much time there (i.e. she has actually walked through the front door), you can simply switch your heating to ‘2’ and she will start waving her hands in front of her and claim to be having a ‘hot flush’ even though she is far too old for that.
