I will not do business with you

So I'm being driven down the motorway and a van drives past. The van is some sort of courier for a furniture company. The address of said firm is '1 Blunder Street, Blackpool'. I see a variety of problems relating to credibility associated with such a

Do not jump in the shower !

The phrase goes: "I am just going to jump in the shower" Jumping in the shower is inefficient. Why not stand in the shower, and wash yourself - that is the point of having a shower, and will allow you to get out in a more time efficient

Lucid dreams can be really scary

On the night of the 1st January 2012 I had a weird, almost unbelievable experience. If it had happened a day earlier I would have said it was the strangest thing that happened to me in 2011. It did not however, and as such I have 362 days to top

The Swale looks intimidating

Two evenings ago, I was looking at river levels and saw that the Swale amongst other things had been dancing around a nice level. Jack said he'd get me down the Swale before Christmas, I was having kayaking withdrawal... I made the proposal. The next morning Jack called

Park and Play - Linton falls

On Wednesday (19/10/2011) Jack, Jamie, Bryn and I headed out to Linton Falls on the River Wharfe for a bit of park and play fun. This was our second Wednesday trip as part of our Wonderful Wednesdays format :) The falls weren't particularly high, nor particularly low,

A few runs down the River Kent

On Sunday a group of us headed up to the lakes with the university club. The intention was to run the Leven (which i'd never run before), but sadly the river dropped massively overnight. In the end we decided to run the Kent twice - the first time

What is a 'strong pound'?

As an economics student, I am having to come to grips with various definitions, and explanations for a variety of complex terminology.
