I hate washing machines
I really do because they always break down when you can least afford it, and then banks throw extortionate charges at you to make bad things worse. We knew that September was going to be a tough month financially, tough but managaable. I closed a couple of hosting accounts at the beggining of month as [...]
New blog added to Entrecard
Last week I decided I would try adding an EC widget to my new blog, so last Sunday I submitted it to Entrcard for approval. This was before their announcement about re-introducing paid ads. By Thursday the new blog was still awaiting approval from a moderator so I sent a message using their feedback form [...]
Goodbye Chas and Dave
You don’t here tunes like these anymore. It is a shame to here Chas n Dave has split, but it is understandable due to the passing of Daves wife to lung cancer a couple of months ago.
Your year book photo’s
Before I start I must stress this is NOT a paid blog post. While away over the weekend I was watching a TV show that contains a website review section. A couple of sites that where reviewed cought my eye, unfortunately I had to wait until I got home before I could access them. Take [...]
Energy efficient lighting
I don’t know what they are like in other places but I think the ‘Energy Efficient’ lightbulbs that we are being forced into buying these days are an eyesore. In the UK now it is illegal to sell the tradition light bulbs: I beleive halogen spots etc are still legal but I am sure these [...]

It appears that comments on IMReportCard must be second to none. I read through existing comments when I first joined the site and then commented on 5 items that I had experiences of, 2 services and 3 Biz Ops. I then contacted them querying if there was any way of seeing what comments I had [...]
User reviews
Yesterday I was reading a blog, sorry I can’t remember which one it was but as soon as I find it I will add to this post, it refered to a site called IMReportCard which reviews Products, Services, People and Biz Ops. Members can then add their own comment to the review. You earn credits [...]
Bringing back Pixel ads
About 5 years ago Alex Tew came up with the idea of generating money by selling advertising by pixels on a web page “Million Dollar Homepage“, i am sure many of you remember it. He was selling advertising for $1 per pixel, the idea was to raise enough money to pay his way through University. [...]
Please don’t use drop lists
Over the past few days I have seen more and more ads for ‘drop lists’ and ‘earn 300 credits in minutes’ etc. Sorry but these are not good for the community. Think about it, you utilize these lists and drop on 300 blogs in minutes, it’s obvious that you are not reading the blogs. Now [...]
