WHY SHOULD WIKILEAKS BE SHUT DOWN

Reading the newspaper recently along with the English teaching jobs on offer I saw the whole Wiki leaks item and wondered should it be shut down. Julian Assange and his infamous Wikileaks has caused an unprecedented furore worldwide, leading to arguments for and against what he has created – and what he has created will be a topic of discussion for many years to come.

In his Wikileaks, Assange managed to publish secret governmental More

Goodbye Old Friend

There are a few reasons why I don’t like tidying my room up, and I’m sure that whoever you are (unless you’re one of them people off a home improvement show who hates clutter) you’ll understand them all. One is that I hate tidying in general, another is that I always uncover massive spiders that hide there deliberately, and another is because of memories. For me, stuff and material possessions has always signified memories. They accumulate, sit there, and when More

The Good, The Bad & The Impossible To Solve

Personally, although I don’t use Facebook for hours on end every day, I do think that it is nothing less than a phenomenon: a social network that connects the world, allowing everyone to contact everyone – that’s something with an unlimited amount of powers, and an infinite number of possibilities for every single person with a computer on this planet. Regardless of what you want to find, a close friend, Locum GP Jobs in your area or someone you haven’t More

PC now our world

What our great revolutionaries first fought for - honor, glory, money, land, water and power now seems to be a subject of the past. Now we fight for information. While many developed countries call themselves as the advocates of a free world where everyones opinion can be expressed is now under serious threat in questioning.
The trial of Julian Assange (excluding the ridiculous rape trial which didn’t succeed) is a symbolism of misuse / misinterpretation of the words used in More

Lessons Learned At Chicken School

When I was eighteen, I had a part-time job at my local supermarket and everyone I worked with – and indeed anyone I really talked to at work as well, probably including the customers – hated me. Not because I am a generally thoroughly un-like-able person – I hope; I don’t think I am but you can never be sure when you are you, can you? – but because I only worked two hours a day at that point. This More

Two Different Approaches

My friend is a class-room assistant: that means he spends most of his time attempting to help the teacher with the un-ruly / difficult to teach children (and the rest of it cursing the children, but not usually to their faces…). In other words, it’s normally a bit of a nightmare. So not the kind of job that anyone can do.

Now, my friend, upon meeting up with him the other day, said about how he was looking for Teaching More

Buy A Kindle, Go On

I have just bought a Kindle. Here is my brief review of all the various features. You should seriously consider buying a Kindle, and here’s why (and I don’t even get any commission from Amazon honest, so there!).

1) The fact it is so light: I am not big on the numbers, so I have no idea how light the Kindle actually is, but let me tell you it weighs NOTHING. OK, so that’s an outrageous lie. Even the air More

The Big Secret

Until recently I was convinced that my grandparents still existed back in the pre-war, pre-computer days, but a recent visit to their spare room (after I was partially disgusted at the site of my gran’s teeth in the sink) unveiled a completely new side – dimension, even – to the elders I thought I knew and loved.

Yes, gran (I suspected it was her idea because she was always a bit secretive like that) knew more than she let on More

Making New

If you’re born human in the western world where material things are of utmost importance, getting Christmas presents that you despise is just something that you have to live with. It happens to all of us, and no matter how many hints you give your grandparents, the fact that they often don’t understand technology and generally resent any kind of change means that you are powerless to solve the problem. Which is why, if, like me, you get rubbish useless More

Differing Opinions

The fact that more people are reading now than ever before, and there are all these new genres of books – when I say new genres, I mean more variety of sub-divisions of books, I suppose – around absolutely thrills me. I love that people are reading (except the guy who is always reading at my local computer shop, apple mac repair london , which means he’s been late every time I’ve left my computer there for him to fix…).
