Finally, we’ve managed to find someone who might be interested in buying our old car. It’s taken months, literally. Which made me quite sad actually as it’s a good solid car and I’ve loved it very much, looked after it far better than the previous owners and I’ll be sad to see it go. Despite [...]

Rather appropriately covered in raindrops

Here it is, the real Samaritans advert I was talking about yesterday. With a nice snap of the raindrops running across the train window. Lovely.
Old bones and more old bones

Although interested in the origins of our species I happen to be married to someone totally obsessed in the subject, there is no old bone or archeological find in the past 16 years (since we got together) that I have not either heard about or seen. We took a trip to a place called Sutton [...]
Staring at boobs can prolong your life
Posted: 26th August 2010 by Age in MusingsTags: staring at boobs
It’s an old story now, but it’s worth writing about again as a quick reminder to all men out there – it’s good to stare at boobs. A study carried out last year by a German scientist found that staring at boobs can prolong a man’s life as much as 5 years! Dr. Karen Weatherby, [...]
Content that risks attracting the wrong people
Posted: 26th August 2010 by Age in WritingTags: advertising, content, writing
Sitting on the train this morning, starting out of the rain soaked windows I noticed an advert which caught my eye. It looked something similar to the one pictured above, except there were birds and bunnies bouncing around as well. I eyed it with mild curiosity. If for any reason your life doesn’t feel quite [...]
For about 6 months my radio alarm changed from being radio wake up call to the sound of a Nuclear Reactor danger alert – it scared the life out of us every day but we didn’t know how to change it back to what it should be. Today for no known reason it has returned [...]
Umbrellas are remarkably British
Posted: 25th August 2010 by Age in RantsTags: inconsiderate people, rain, umbrellas
The weather at the moment is typically British. Overcast with “patchy” sunshine one minute, bucketing it down the next. Sitting in an office is miserable enough, without looking out of the window near the end of the day to see that you’re going to get lovely and wet before the day is out. If there’s [...]
Eyeball tracking & SEO/content writing
Posted: 24th August 2010 by Age in SEO, WritingTags: content writing, eyeball tracking, placement, seo
It’s not really new news. Eyeball tracking studies have been around for a while now. Google did an article on it for their own blog last year (“Eye tracking studies – more than meets the eye“) which gave a simple break down of what it means. The basic premise is quite simple. A number of [...]
Having a posh car doesn’t make you a good driver
Posted: 24th August 2010 by Age in RantsTags: Ferrari 458 Italia, fire, wrecked supercars
Rather a depressing sight isn’t it? A rare Ferrari 458 Italia has a rather crispy death, shortly after rolling out of the factory. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first Ferrari 458 to meet such a grizzly end. Though Ferrari are saying it’s not a technical fault, a number of the cars have caught [...]
Hear about that Age? See it could be worse than National Express trains. Drivers are complaining that the locals are coining in and selling drinks at over-priced rates too, bit rich! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-11062708
