Oh, Topshop, Why?
As a teenager, I had no money of my own (the waiting on job I had paid £20 a night, money which normally went on my mobile and on Sainsburys chocolate chip cookies) and so I couldn’t afford to wear the clothes I liked in Topshop, instead having to persuade my mum each time I [...]
Ethical Fashion
It seems that it has become fashionable for designers to produce items over the last year or so that can help the enviroment, or that has some sort of slogan on it regarding ethics. This in turn has trickled down into the usual channels and we now see places like Topshop, New Look and Primark [...]
Eurovision Entertainment
I’ve been away this weekend in Bedford visiting friends for a Eurovision gathering. Eurovision was once an amusing event to watch as noone took it that seriously, and all songs were sung in the countries main language so translations via Teletext subtitles were often entertaining. Oh, and the UK actually had a chance of winning [...]
My Love For Febo
I may have told some of you before about this place, but when I was in Utrecht a few years ago, my dad showed me a shop front that fasinated me. It was a Febo shop, and it was a open front building with walls with little boxes in that were heated.
Inside each of these [...]

Remember the good old days, where spam would just say BUY THIS VIAGRA? As spam filters get more and more sophisticated, the spammers need to work out new ways to get around filters.

Finally Furnished
As mentioned in my last post, we went to Ikea to get some furniture for my rather bare bedroom. Here are some pictures of before and after. Click the picture to see a bigger version.

The Art of a Lasting Relationship
If you want to make sure that your relationship with any new housemate /boyfriend /girlfriend /goat (hey, I’m not judging) will be able to stand the depths of any arguement, go to Ikea.
If you know me pretty well, you may know that one of my secret passions is furniture and design. I like things that [...]
Am I The Only One…
…who doesn’t care at all about the upcoming Sex and the City movie?
Although it seems like something I would actually watch, I’ve never been able to get into it. Maybe its the unlikable characters - I know we’re supposed to love Carrie, but she just seems to be superficial and annoying to me.
When I was [...]
A Night Out
OK, so it wasn’t really a night out of drinking, dancing and dead cute boys, but I was walking past this dilapidated hotel near Temple Meads yesterday, and thought it would make for some good photos. I’ve picked out some of the photos here, or you can go to Flickr to see them all
May Music (Ay Ya Ya)
One of the things I have to have with me at all times is my iPod. I can’t even go to Tesco’s (a five minute walk at most) without putting on a song to suit my mood at the time.
Lately I’ve started listening to the Tom Robinson’s Introducing… podcast as a way of finding some [...]
