Living the Dream – Really?
We all have dreams, hopes, aspirations, but I do wonder how many of us actually get to live out those wonderful life stories of success and fulfilment. Most people plod through life, living mundane, uninspiring existences. We work; we relax, we sleep; we work, we relax, we sleep……. Life has a routine; life has a…
Dating Websites – Their Fundamental Flaw
In a technological age, dating websites are a great resource for finding a prospective partner. In many respects, they have become the primary means of entering into a new relationship. And, it has to be said, there are distinct advantages to using a dating site rather than some traditional meeting places, such as the local…
Reduced Civil Liberties; Necessary and Inevitable
We guard our freedoms and rights with great commitment, tenacity and pride. They are our civil liberties. We will fight for them; we will die for them. For many people, they are sacrosanct, the bedrock of our individual existence. And yet they are vulnerable and endangered; depleted and diminishing. The reason for this is that…
The Story So Far … Repetitive Television
What do we think of repetitive television programmes? I don’t mean the showing of repeats; I mean those programmes that, after an advert break, repeat what they have already told you.

Harvest Dates – The Future of Fresh Produce
When – if ever – will food producers and retailers have the confidence to label their produce with its harvest date? Many supermarkets already label their produce with the name of the farm on which it was grown. At the same time, they label it with a “Best Before” date. It should not, therefore, be…
Living in a Dreamworld
Being a bit of a dreamer isn’t a problem if it makes us happy. What’s wrong with imagining ourselves in a better place? Dreams offer a wondrous, mesmerising, idyllic world; a place of endless possibilities, a place where anything can happen. What’s not to like! Why wouldn’t we want to visit this place? Why wouldn’t…
Classic Cars – Will They Stay or Will They Go?
There’s a beauty in the style and character of a classic car. It can look good, sound good, and feel good to drive. A classic car attracts attention and makes an impression. In fact, their appeal is such that classic cars tend to increase in desirability and value. Yet we must wonder whether their days…
