Men shouldn’t be allowed to shop

Friday Feb 3, 2012

Christmas time and birthdays are always a challenge for me being a single man. I always found it tricky to look for and find the right type of gifts. I often used to buy gift vouchers for particular stores as presents that was until I found out about purchasing a prepaid debit gift card.

A good friend was out shopping with me one day over the holiday season when I was moaning about trying to choose present that friends and family would appreciate and wouldn’t try and give back to me or get rid of at the next yard sale. I had arranged to meet my friend for lunch after we had both done our shopping at a local café to grab a bite to eat and rest our weary legs.

Occupy Wall Street- dirty living not allowed

Wednesday Jan 4, 2012

So, the Occupy Wall Street movement was finally dispersed on health and sanit​ary reasons. With winter approaching, New York authorities were just not prepared to allow protesters to continue living in unhygienic conditions. Of course, this just happens to be the official reason for the dispersal. Authorities were probably be careful not to make it look as if they were acting at the behest of the capitalists who are the t​arget of the ire of the protesters. Well, we can only conclude from the entire spectacle that a Revolution can be messy but should not be a dirty business.

Energy Issues

Wednesday Sep 28, 2011

According to The Sunday Times, 2008 saw the year that Red Diesel theft grew exponentially in the United Kingdom. This is hardly surprising, considering the state of fuel prices at the time, but the question still remains: as we get closer and closer to using up all our fuel reserves, what should be done about the growing need for power and fuel? A need which is not likely to slow down any time soon, you would be wise to forget.

The ecologically minded will probably say %u201Cwind energy%u201D or mention electric cars as a full-proof solution to the transport issue. Yet the sad truth of the matter is that this won’t stop planes from flying, and nor will it immediately help the car industry: even if production was to shift to electric cars tomorrow, things would still be very bad. Fuel and energy is needed in its droves to power the machinery that drives much of the world’s industry – especially in countries like China.

Only recently I put this question to a friend, who was adamant that electric cars would win out. He started to tell me about these special stations that stood next to roads in the UK, which you could plug your car into in much the same way as when you plug in your kettle. My problem with that was very instant and very obvious, so I said, %u201Cwhat about vandals? Surely a lead coming out of a car is going to attract trouble?%u201D

He laughed and said I was being over-dramatic, yet this is a man who lives in a part of London which is frequently under-fire from petty crime.

Wind-farms, on the other hand, or even tidal energy produced by waves, could definitely be the answer in the future. Seeing as 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, surely it’d be wise to assume that could at some point be the key?

One of the biggest problems with tidal energy is harnessing it…

The answer, sadly, remains to be seen. One of the biggest problems with tidal energy is harnessing it. There is plenty of it out there, but getting full control of it is another thing entirely!

Only time will tell what the future holds, and if you’re sitting there saying this doesn’t affect you, you’re wrong. It affects all of us, women or not, and we need to start having a big old think about it…before it’s too late!

How much should we control our children?

Monday Aug 22, 2011

In the hit US film Little Children – starring Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson – there’s a scene where a known sex-offender turns up at a swimming pool. To begin with he isn’t noticed, but when he is bedlam ensues as the entire pool clears out as if a shark has just miraculously appeared. It’s a scene which many parents will likely empathise with, and a scene which highlights more than a few points about modern living.

Where I live there is an allotments. An expanse of shrub-land similar to the land where we used to play as kids. While we used to be able to run about doing whatever we liked as children, things have very much changed on that score. I’m not sure if crime has become more prevalent or if it was always there and now the internet makes it feel much more widespread. Either way it doesn’t matter much; the point is still the same one: how much should we control our children and how much should we allow them to run and play free?

for those who get the terrible news that their child has been snatched or worse, it’s a completely different story

This argument came up the other day while we were discussing loft conversions – something which we have talked about ever since we had a new home with an old loft to convert. It’s something that we’re both passionate about, and there really is no proper answer to. After all, millions of parents allow their parents to go off and play on their own, so for them it is safe. But for those who get the terrible news that their child has been snatched or worse, it’s a completely different story. They will likely never trust the outside world ever again, and really, who can blame them for not? I certainly couldn’t.

One thing we could do is install CCTV in places like the allotments. But the problem with that is that there will always be blind spots (not to mention that it would be extremely expensive). Another thing to do is to keep children by our sides at all times just to be sure; something which many sets of parents rigidly adhere to on a daily basis. But of course that comes with its own set of distinct disadvantages; we need not mention these here!

The conclusion we have come to is that we can’t change what will happen. And, in many ways, our children deserve to act like children, even if it does worry us more than we would like.
