India’s been one of those places I’ve always wanted to go and I’ve finally got it booked – Two weeks in sunny Kerala on white sandy beaches.
Sadly, my knowledge of India isn’t much more evolved than a menu from the local indian restaurant and a copy of a Madhur Jaffrey cook book so I’ll be going there without much of a clue.
Let them eat cake!
A good friend of mine has recently started her own cake business in Hull, making that is (my business is eating them!) and it surprised me how much effort goes into making cakes for special occasions.
If you’re in the Hull or East Yorkshire area looking for wedding cakes, birthday cakes or even cakes for a corporate function, then give Cakes By Leni a call.
I’ve got some holiday to take before the end of the year so I’ve been racking my brain for something interesting to do. Do I stay at home or do I go away?
As someone who’s lived in the United Kindom all their life, it’s easy to take for granted destinations that are right on the doorstep. With cities like Manchester, Birmingham and of course, London all vying for my trade choosing one to spend my valuable vacation time isn’t going to be easy. Read More…
We’ve all been there. Desperate for a taxi after a night on the town or need to call a locksmith because you’ve shut yourself out… again (my record was twice in one day!).
It’s no surprise then that I find myself dialling the first number that comes into my head, 118 118.
There are other companies out there but 118118 is the only directory enquiries service I’ve ever had the need for and with their UK based call centres, it’s never a chore. Read More…
The Xbox 360 Elite is on it’s way people – news of Microsoft’s price cuts mean a lot of happy gamers!
I’m holding out on buying a 360 until Halo3′s released, so hopefully we’ll be seeing plenty of bundles and deals taking advantage of the new lower prices.
I wonder if the revised heatsink models have started to reach stores yet…?
I’m sure everyone is well aware of the issues regarding the 360′s internal design shortcomings and the problems that it can cause. Microsoft’s reputation as a console manufacturer has been severely tarnished over recent months after rumours of a 33% hardware failure rate (aye right!) and the following knee jerk reaction to extend the 360…
Why do people get so hung up on how much “power” a games console has? What are these people using them for… NSA brute force password cracking?
Ever since there was more than one console option, people have made comparisons based on hardware. Will they never learn that GAMES sell consoles not how many 486 DX33 processors are crammed onto a daughter board.
Without a killer app, a console is doomed. The current “best” console is supposedly the PS3, yet Wii sales outnumber it 3:1.
Anyone that’s played on a Wii has to admit it’s visually crap and a step back for graphics, yet the games are so bloody addictive.
The Sega Mega CD, Philips CDi and Amiga CD32 were amazing pieces of kit in their day, but sadly lacked decent games. Atari Jaguar and Sega Dreamcast were the same (IIRC Sega’s Saturn was beaten by the Sony Playstation on marketing, not killer apps).
Any editorial that raves about the hardware isn’t worth the paper or screen it’s printed on in my opinion. The sooner the specs take a back seat the better.
A friend in Hull as sent me photos of their house and surrounding streets, completely flooded by the heavy rains we’ve been having in the UK.
It really does hit home how serious this is when someone you know is affected. The Fire Brigade have closed off parts of Hull to traffic and yes people are stupid enough to try and drive through it!
