If there is one thing that I simply cannot stand, it is a man who does not take good care of himself. No, no, no - I’m not talking about him spending hours on end down at the gym (although I do happen to like a guy who keeps himself in good shape!!!). What I’m talking about here is personal hygiene. You’d think that in this day and age, men would know all about the importance of washing and changing their clothes regularly. However, I have been unfortunate enough to have known quite a few grotty specimens over recent years…

I think some of it is down to a strange preconception that some men have about us girls. Most guys are clean and tidy, but there are a few who seem to think that women will ‘like it’ if they smell ‘manly’… But here is a message to any grufty men out there who happen to be reading this post; ladies do not like cuddling up to men with bad breath, stinky armpits or clothes that pong of old chip fat! Now this may come as a shock to some dirty chaps but they are just going to have to come to terms with it.

Cleanliness is something that comes naturally to me and I really don’t understand why this is not the same for everyone. I mean, what can be so difficult about washing or showering yourself every day? And is it really that big a deal to put on some fresh clothes when you get up in the morning??? Well, for some guys it is obviously a bit of a problem! I’m sure that laziness is the other key factor involved in this ‘dirty men dilemma’ and no-one is going to make me think otherwise… But then again, if someone simply can’t be bothered to go and have a wash, then what chance do we have???

Although this does work both ways of course. After all, most men out there wouldn’t like the idea of getting ‘up close and personal’ with a lady if she didn’t spend a bit of time washing herself on a daily basis, would they? However, there are some really nice cosmetic products on the market these days for men and women – so there are simply no excuses at all for being a minger! Perhaps (now that we are living at the start of a new millennium) things will change for the better; I certainly hope they do!!!

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.

I had been wandering around the stores aimlessly all morning and not gained any inspiration. I was fed up of buying gifts that weren’t really wanted and gift vouchers from stores that no one ever shopped in.

As I was strolling over to meet my friend in despair I spotted an advert for botox in maidenhead and right next to it was one for a prepaid debit gift card. The advert said it would make the ideal gift. Over a coffee and slice of pie I explained my predicament; I told my friend that although I could always get family and friends vouchers again I was never sure which stores to get them for.

Guess what! My good friend asked me if I had ever thought about getting a prepaid gift card instead. He went on to say he had purchased some for his teenage sons and they had been over the moon. He explained that they can be loaded up with a set amount and given to a person who can use them anywhere that they were accepted, which was pretty much everywhere. Even better, the card can be used over and over until the funds are all gone and even loaded up again. This was an ideal solution which meant that for the teenagers and older friends and family I could get them each one and give them out for Christmas. These cards would also be an excellent choice for birthday gifts too. I couldn’t believe I had not been aware of these cards, now I tell all my friends about them as they are an excellent option for men that aren’t clued up on the latest gifts.

That Christmas all my family were full of praise for my efforts, it was good to know my gifts were appreciated at last!

The worst part is that the protesters cannot argue against the action of the authorities. If they do so, they would be justifying dirty living would be no different than the hippies who wanted nothing but anarchy when they roamed around the world leading their own peculiar lifestyle.

Well, all is not lost. The authorities have themselves provided a wonderful opportunity for the Occupy Wall Street movement supporters to organize the movement in a better manner. They just have to get in touch with health and sanitation services provider and seek money in exchange of ad space. For the past few weeks, you have probably woken up to the sights and images of these protesters in your newspaper and blog sites on a daily basis. What a wonderful advertisement opportunity for health-related service providers! In any case, hand sanitizers had become very common amongst protesters before the group was finally broken up.
Would it not be ironic if protesters sought sponsorship money from window cleaning Surrey services and other such services which survive primarily by catering to corporate organizations? Of course, the occupy Wall Street movement is a romantic notion that has no real demands except for the desire to occupy the Wall Street so that the capitalists will not continue earning money. That has not succeeded and chances are high that the authorities will not allow the protesters to regroup at the same spot again.

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!

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.

Have you ever noticed that each and every individual in historical movies has the perfect hairstyle? Some people are bald, some have long flowing hair while others have their hair cut short to the scalp. Historical movies often resort to fiction to make the plot more interesting. However, ancient tombs have also indicated people had different hairstyles. This leads to the most obvious question. Did people in the ancient times face the problem of hair loss?

What solutions did they come up with? In ancient times, people were closer to nature and adopted a holistic approach towards all activities. They probably analyzed the causes of hair loss before proceeding any further. Their solutions would make use of nature and lifestyle changes instead of chemicals and artificial surgical procedures.

What if people did not face this problem in the past? It means that hair loss is a recent phenomenon. Is it related to our lifestyle? Ancient people probably did not expose themselves to sunlight. The ozone layer was unaffected by pollution and there was very little smoke around. They probably led healthier lives and never had to worry about these issues.

If that is the case, then hair loss may be something that we owe to modern technology and developments. Would it not be nice if we would simply avoid the root cause of the problem instead of trying to find a solution to the same using technology, which caused the problem in the first place? It certainly is an idea worth considering.

Why Bristol is great : Everyone knows that Bristol is great,…

Generally there are simply no secrets nowadays. There can be only items we don’t realize at this point of time. And once you DO discover it, it isn’t really a secret any longer. This leads me to share with you that there is just one way to actually gain self esteem. It doesn’t have to take core techincal solutions to achieve self esteem either. This is by way of a process. You have to realize that attaining self-confidence seldom happens instantaneously. Obviously there are often exceptions to all things. Understanding how to attain self esteem takes a process and I would like to show you two excellent suggestions on how to attain self esteem.

Suggestion #1:

Never care what the other people believe. I’m sure you may think “How am I meant to do that?”. Clearly the fact is that you simply can’t adjust just to what anybody else believes. Imagine you’re at a community gathering and you possess really low self esteem during that time. You get home and you feel truly bad since you thought you were being evaluated by others. Your very best friend Wayne, believed exactly the same thing when he left. Edith believed exactly the same point. The thing is, folks care more about how they are perceived than they will care about you. Therefore you shouldn’t care about how other folks think about you. You weren’t put on this earth to make others happy. It is acceptable to fail, it is acceptable to be distinct, it actually is okay to do whatever you feel is benefits you!

Suggestion #2:

Allow yourself to be evaluated. This can be something which is very hard, but you know what? To be able to boost self esteem to higher levels, you need to have the ability to do items on your terms and be okay with other folks disliking whatever you accomplish. Once again, almost everyone in the world judges others, I definitely assess other folks. When somebody tells me something negative about myself that I recognize I am. For example fat, or even ugly… I’m able to simply have a good laugh about it and state, “Who cares, my genetics can’t be changed and this is the way in which I am, have you got something else you want to appraise me by? By all means say it”. Notice there is nothing an individual can say to you that you simply can’t counter within someway or another.

Recently while investigating the benefits of different horse insurance policies I overheard some people talking about the fruit and vegetable diet. I wanted to know if this was a good diet or just another sham. Here is a bit of what I turned up.

Nutritionists and dieticians the world over are emphasizing the need to include fruits and vegetables in our daily diet. This is helpful for the loss of weight in a healthy way. The fruit and vegetable diet does not in any way exclude the consumption of meat and fish, rather, if these could be balanced in a proper way, that would be the best diet.

Inclusion of fresh fruits and vegetables in the diet is imperative, for these are powerful storehouses of vitamins and minerals in their natural form. Once you include these in the diet, you will not have to take artificial supplements. Moreover, they are high in fiber content too, which gives the stomach a full feeling, and you will not feel hungry frequently. Plus, their fat content is nearly zero. This is how fruits and vegetables help to bring down one’s weight.

Eating only fruits and vegetables is not a good idea, because their protein content is less. This can be compensated by including nuts and seeds in the diet. Besides protein, fat soluble vitamins and vitamin B12 too are less in quantity. Meat products, fish and eggs are rich in all these. This is why it is better to have a diet that includes both vegetarian and non vegetarian foods. <
