It's no coincidence that your great ideas come along when you're away from the keyboard and then when you sit down to write your mind draws a blank.

Cleaning the underside of the desk
I know a guy who cleans under his desk. Not like the ground under the desk, but the underside of the desk itself. Which, the first time I saw it, was looking around for the men in white coats to promptly take him away.

Value, Money exchange imbalance
Minstrels, Toblerone, Yorkie - are the only brands I can recall at the moment who have tried to short change me of my chocolate (I swear I don't have a problem).

On this particular show, this very handsome lad Adam took out Kendall for a date, leaving Niall (Kendall's previous coupling) to watch on and melt into a pool of jealous madness. What happened next is what I find interesting. … Continue reading Love Island Niall & Adam.
Highlighting
Highlighting text only works when there is plain text alongside it. It is the contrast that makes it stand out. If you highlighted everything then everything would blend into one and you would be none the wiser as to the important points. So the next time you're highlighting something remember to do so sparingly.
When competitiveness ruins fun.
In the heat of the moment it's very easy for the competitive spirit to come out, especially in a tight game. But nobody likes it when the game, that was just supposed to be a bit of fun, gets out of hand. Everybody playing is an amateur and nobody has any aspirations for a career … Continue reading When competitiveness ruins fun.
