Making New

in Uncategorized

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 presents every year, you really need to find a way of looking at things from a different perspective.

My solution to this is quite simple. It is also amazingly effective, and anybody can do the same, whether they are into cyber-art of regular art or whatever. Take the Pantone Mini Mugs that I received this Christmas 2010, for example. Never gonna use them. Don’t even know what they are. Have no idea what in the world possessed my grandparents to pick these things up and think “yes, this is perfect!”. But there you have it, it’s happened, bless ’em, so deal with it. So what did I do? Well, I decided to smash them to pieces under a towel is what. Then I stuck all the bits onto a rubber mat, creating an amazingly personalized mouse-mat for a good friend of mine who really appreciates hand made gifts! Honestly, I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter what your friends love or are into, you can nearly always smash a rubbish present up and make a great custom gift out of it. The best thing is there is no guilt to be had: after all, you’ve taken something worthless and converted it into something that will be forever cherished. If that isn’t in the spirit of Christmas and baby Jesus then I don’t know what is!

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…). But there is one enemy of reading and one that far too many people are guilty of being best friends with: the enemy which is reading the same author again and again.

I have no problem with people reading a few books from one author, but I’ve never been able to get my head around why some people choose to read ONLY one or two authors for their entire lives. My dad, I hate to say it, is a prime example of this kind of narrow-minded book reading person. He reads either Wilbur Smith or Ken Follet (if that’s how you spell it). Now, both these authors are obviously great and much-loved, but you have to ask: why not read some Robert Ludlum too? Even just for a change?

I suppose it comes down to what people feel comfortable in. It’s not dissimilar to always wearing the same clothes or never daring to venture to another pub but the local one. And there is the argument, of course, that it’s none of my business what people read, and that is valid too, of course. But let’s just say this: the more different types of text that people read, the greater their capacity to see a number of different truths. In my opinion this is what makes civilization so versatile, and books allow us to see so many different opinions, so why limit yourself to just a paltry one or two?

My Review: Saw 3D

in Uncategorized

comments (0)

So I finally saw, Saw 3D recently and here is what I thought of it. Saw 3D is the 7^th movie in the Saw series. The difference between the other Saw and Saw 3D is that the last movie was filmed in 3D, so people who see the movie can feel like they are a part of the film.

In Saw 3D there is a big war raging over the brutal legacy of Jigsaw, some of the survivors come together to hopefully get the help of Bobby Dagen who is also a survivor of Jigsaws mania and who is also a self help expert. But Dagen has some dark secrets of his own which will let loose a new time of terror.

This movie tells the story of Hoffman and Jill fighting for the control of the legacy of Jigsaw’s. Jill goes into protective custody. She then decides to make public Hoffman’s identity. While everything is going on Bobby Dagen, whose book about Jigsaw and his trap although he does not have firsthand experience is captured. He is then made to tell people who knew that he did not tell the truth in his book, that he lied.

Three of Dagen’s friends die the trap that he invented now becomes true and he is forced to reenact it. In the same time Hoffman kills a number of officers and he gets into the police. He then locates Jill and kills her with a reverse beartrap. Then Hoffman wants to get out of the town, he is held by Lawrence Gordon. In the end Hoffman dies and Gordon says the famous tagline: “Game Over”.

The movie received lots of negative reviews from critics, but it still has a great success at the box office. Now the 3D was not too bad as it added a unique element to the film and in some ways made it scarier.

If you like horror movies or you saw the other series you must see Saw 3D too. Now it’s time for me to go get some skiing insurance, I am going skiing as soon as the snow falls.

Poor Susan

in Uncategorized

comments (0)

When Susan Boyle took to the stage of Britain’s Got Talent, the whole nation laughed its collective head off. I remember it like it was only yesterday (and indeed, it wasn’t that long ago, only a couple of years if my memory serves me correctly); this bedraggled (some might say Hagged, but you didn’t hear it from me) woman with dodgy hair who was a bit overweight (also wearing terrible clothes but let’s stop the insults there) coming on and laughing and joking with Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden and then going on to blow us all away with her rendition of I dreamed a dream, or whatever it was. And it didn’t stop there, of course: Susan went on to out-sell Elton John and even Lady Gaga!

But hang on a minute, as amazing as Susan’s story is and was, do we really need to hear it on national TV? Some might say that her interview with Piers Morgan last night was fascinating; I on the other hand have a very different opinion: to my mind it was actually quite dull, lacking much of anything, and didn’t really deserve so much air time. I have nothing against Susan Boyle, please don’t get me wrong, but what I would say is this: she has led the life of an ordinary woman, so why try and put her on the box in a prime entertainment slot and make out she is something that she’s not?

To take limited edition sculptures as an analogy, why take one of them and keep sticking it in everyone’s face when it’s not actually all that interesting? Surely it’s better to leave it on the shelf and let it sell quietly than it is stick it at the front of house and risk it selling out too quickly?

It remains to be seen what will become of Susan Boyle, but one thing about her definitely impressed me: she hasn’t been spending all of her fortune, which is good for her, because from the looks of her dropping record sales she is going to need it…

Holy Grail Crisps

in Uncategorized

comments (0)

To think that there are areas of the UK where you probably can’t purchase Kettles Chips (while I was at liverpool airport parking the other day I was reminded to write about these most fantastic of crisps, as the attendant in his little box had some, the rude so and so!). What a truly terrifying thought that is…You know Kettles, they’re the company responsible for making those incredible hand-made style thick, crunchy, gorgeous crisps (balsamic vinegar be my favourite don’t you know!) which are just utterly irresistible, and don’t I sound like an advert on TV!

But honestly, they are absolutely smashing. Forget Pringles and say goodbye to McCoys, nice as they are: Kettles are the undisputed champions of the crisps world now, and it’s going to take a contender of supernatural phenomenal prowess to knock them off their well deserved top podium position, I can tell you (and I am, so there).

The best thing about these kind of chips – crisps, but you must know it’s fashionable to be all American now – is that in every packet there are a few of what I like to call the Holy Grail crisps. These are the ones which are doubled over and extra-extra thick and crunchy. These are the ones that contain more flavour than any of the others. In other words, if your packet is under attack from other hands which are not your own, you had better watch out because these are the things that every hand-made style chips lover is always on the hunt for. You’d never know it, of course, everyone seems friendly as you hand the bag out, but BELIEVE ME: there are no friends when a packet of Kettles is about! So be on your guard!

Fan Of Home & Away (Closer Each Day…)

in Uncategorized

comments (0)

A few years ago, when I used to get extremely excited about argos discount codes and what was happening in Home & Away (I still get excited, but it’s not the same since Alf Stewart’s wife died…Ailsa was her name, I think, but don’t quote me on that spelling, I was always more into Neighbours actually), movies were so different than the movies of today, weren’t they? Back then, horror films hadn’t really made their way onto the big screen. Yes, they’d established themselves as cult and gained legions of fans, but they’d not really broken into mainstream success.

That was, until Saw came along.

Now, I’m not a huge fan of anything beyond Saw 2 – to me it just seemed gratuitous, but that’s not really my point – but Saw, the original film, that is, was special. Low budget and shocking, the film changed the game and got millions of mainstream audiences with previously no interest in horror to go to the silver screen to watch blood and gore. Which is something of an achievement I’d say. Yes, not a day goes by when I don’t think Why didn’t I think of that!

It remains to be seen where horror will go next, because we’ve sort of seen it all, haven’t we? We’ve had the video nasty era of the 1970s, and now we’ve had the Saw films with all their ultra realistic blood and guts and nasty cliff-hanger endings, so perhaps it’ll be ghost films next? Paranormal Activity did well and the sequel is coming out soon, so maybe that’s the answer right there, then…Which is not necessarily a good thing if you ask me. I mean, isn’t it time we had something a little different? Something that REALLY broke the movie making mould?

This Is The Truth

in Uncategorized

Facebook moaners beware, this is about you.

It’s the same conversation, repeated all over the world in many different languages, and it goes:

“Are you on Facebook?”

“No.”

“Oh, how come?”

“I don’t know…I’m just not. I don’t like it.”

Stop right there: it’s all the annoying things that come WITH Facebook that you don’t like. It’s the “poking” and the invitations to join the RUSSIAN TROLLS HAVE SCARY LOOKING FACES DO YOU AGREE? groups, when you don’t trust Russians after watching James Bond too much and you have never been a huge fan of trolls and troll related things in general. And it’s the whole being-sucked-in thing. But I defy anyone to actually come up with a valid reason for not using it at least once for something useful. Why do I press this? Because it’s the truth, of course. (And it is also useful when you want to share your photos of skiing in italy with lots of people in a very easy and time-effective way).

But I confess, here and now: I also used to be someone who “hated” Facebook, and, while I will agree that I don’t love it now, it definitely comes in handy a lot. For example, it reminds you about friends'birthdays, very nice. Very nice indeed. And it allows you to find out someone’s email address, so that you can email them instead, and avoid all the Facebook things that are so frustrating when all you want to do is surf the web with the minimum of hassle. So really, what’s not to like? Ok, you’ll never be converted, but don’t join the cool-gang who say Facebook is rubbish. Anything which reminds you about a close friends birthday so that you don’t forget it and upset them is a fine thing in my book…

Good Time / Bad Time?

in Uncategorized

comments (0)

After the credit crunch, we were all terrified. Terrified of leaving the house and walking down the street too fast, thus wearing our shoes out quicker and having to spend money we didn’t have (using a bus to get in to town, where we’d have to buy a ticket we couldn’t afford). Or maybe that’s an exaggeration, but we were terrified.
There were rumours, scandal, and everyone had a different opinion. For the first time in a long time, we were actually thinking before we handed our credit cards over to buy things that we often didn’t really want or need as much as we first thought. Then, of course, there was the whole “should I start a business now or should I wait until this is all over?” conundrum, which still exists to some extent in the UK.
Of course, there’s never an easy way to answer such a question, and during the credit crunch you were hardly likely to trust your bank manager, were you?
Thankfully, though, amongst all the misinformation and confusion, there are some companies who are offering opportunities to go into business with them. In Enigin’s case this is regards to the energy saving industry, and you can hear more about this if you click on the link below, head to the article, and click on the link underneath that will take you to a video explaining more: http://www.eniginsales.com/2010/05/31/is-this-the-right-time-to-start-an-energy-saving-business/
Of course, there’s nothing to say a similar financial crisis couldn’t happen again, but there is one way we can get ourselves in a better position if things did start to slide: start a business that has a lot of growth potential – something which the energy saving industry can definitely promise.

Samsung Wave Review

in Uncategorized

comments (0)

The Wave is Samsung’s new high spec smart phone. This phone comes with a 1 GHz processor, 5 Megapixel camera, 3.3’’ AMOLED touch screen, HD video player/recorder and Samsung’s own Bada operating system. The first thing you notice about the Wave however is how it looks; it is undoubtedly one of most stylish phones out there. This combined with it being light and shaped for comfort in your hand makes it exciting before you have even switched it on.

Once you start using the phone its speed is very impressive. The processing power means that applications install, open, close and work very quickly and the phone seems to handle all of its applications without long pauses. One of the most impressive of these is the video capture function. The Wave not just captures but also replays HD video of a very high standard. This is all aided by the AMOLED screen. The Wave has the first Super AMOLED screen which is very clear, bright and has vivid colours. The touch sensitivity on the screen is a pleasant surprise too; no touch screen functionality was lost during Samsung’s development of the AMOLED screen.

The only slight disappointment I have found with the Wave has been the limited number of applications available from Samsung Apps. This however can be excused as the Bada operating system is new and so is the application store. This means it is simply a problem of time, hopefully there will be many more applications developed that can fully test the Wave’s impressive specifications.

Overall the Wave is a great phone and for all that it offers it can be got on a range of very reasonable contracts, so no need to resort to contacting any financial advisers uk beforehand. I was so impressed by the Wave in fact that I went out and got one for myself and I would recommend anyone looking for a new phone to strongly consider one.
