A bit of this and a bit of that

I’ve just found a number of books here in Staines that I need to read. I put them aside when I was studying from my final MBA exams, and now that it’s over it’s time I get reading. Here are some of the titles I have to read:

Don’t you just love websites that can offer you a service wherever you are in the world? I was looking through Advantage car rentals which at first seemed to be a US based business, but noticed that they also offer car rentals anywhere in the world. I thought that was pretty cool. They use local [...]

I’ve been wondering for some time whether we should stick a TV in the bedroom. Today’s LCD screens are compact enough for it not to require too much space, but I’m not sure I’d like us to be the sort of couple who spends the whole evening in bed watching TV. Fitting one in won’t [...]

Phew, 3 days of hard swotting so far, and I’ve done 3 chapters from my Organisational Behaviour book. If I keep this up I might just get my head around all the stuff I need to pass my exam. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

I’m alone again at home, because Camille and Arthur have gone down to Malta for the latest general election.

Wow, I’ve just found out that according to Experian (who do all sorts of market research), the cost of car insurance has fallen for the first time since 2005. This seems to be thanks to a number of firms competing online for their customers by advertising lower average prices.
That certainly is good news. Insurance is [...]

Well, we’ve all been down with the flu over the last few days and the only way I’m managing to keep above things is thanks to Lemsip. I don’t know if you guys can get this in the US, but it’s amazing.
You can only take it every four hours, and you only realise how great [...]

Here’s a cool idea, if you are into tattoos. There are websites on the Internet where you can download any tattoo design you wish, pay and print out your design and stencil, take it to your local tattoo parlor and get it placed on any part of your body. I’ve never come across one of [...]
