I played Resident Evil on the Wii for the first time today and unfortunately for me it is likely to be the last time I play it. The reason has nothing to do the game itself, it is as promised full of cool features and has lots of zombies to kill. However after an hour…

Multibird Roast
I came across this article about a multibird roast that costs £665 and feeds up to 125 people. It is made up of 12 birds making it one of the biggest multibird meals in the country. It consists of a turkey on the outside, goose, chicken, pheasant, three ducks, poussin, guinea fowl, partridge, pigeon squab…
Clowns Are Scary
I have always thought that clowns are scary so was not surprised when I came across this article. It suggests that hospitals should not decorate wards with pictures of clowns because children are upset by them. In fact a survey of more than 250 children showed that they all disliked clowns and even teenagers found…
56 Year Old Toaster
I read this article about a 56 year old toaster that was purchased in 1951 and surprisingly still works today. Mrs Lopes purchased the toaster as a present for her parent’s silver wedding anniversary for £4 4s. Since then it has been put to regular use and is still in perfect working order. It seems…
Glove Website
I read this article about a website that has been set up to reunite people with their lost gloves. The website was set up by Jennifer Gooch and so far has reunited four gloves with their owners. She is now working on four similar sites for other cities as well as a book which will…

Christmas Dinner

He cooked an impressive meal of turkey, mashed potato, roasted parsnips, glazed carrots and prawn salad. We also…
Fresh Meat?
I read this article the other day that suggests the chicken you buy from the supermarket could actually be months old. It suggests that a lot of poultry sold in supermarkets is actually imported from places like Brazil and Thailand and can often be weeks or even months old. The article also suggests that meat…
Christmas Crept Up Me
Despite my best efforts to be organised this year Christmas appears to have crept up on me. Last year I had already brought all of my Christmas presents as well as all the Christmas food long before hand. This year, however, I have been so busy with work that I am really only starting to…
