Thanks Doctor I remember the day so clearly A teenage boy before your eyes You handed out a life sentence Force feeding me your lies Chemical imbalance These pills will make things right Trusted trained professional Adding pressure to my plight It's funny though as I recall I came to you with stress You...

Politics, News & Issues > Soccer Is Capello the right man for the England job?: 1 of 15
Fabio Capello has been described as the man with a bigger ego than the players and with the current England squad, his ego needs to be as big as his reputation in the game. He is a man with presence and a single minded winning mentality, that will act as a wake up call for a National team guilty of failing to reach their pot... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Father: 8 of 117
AN ODE FROM FATHER TO SON The best ever son that a father could wish With a ten year addiction to chuck one off from the wrist. Growing ever more like me with the passing of days With your constant mood changes and cynical ways. The receding hairline you cover with a hat, Devoid of grooming you are hairy and fat. ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Freedom: 20 of 289
Rules of Freedom Complicate my life if you wish It won't keep me from my path Continuing on peacefully As I sing and dance and laugh. Your rules will not defeat me Damn you and your control Stake claims upon my body But you'll never take my soul. The hamster wheel of life rolls on Don't get caught in t... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Soccer Will Sam Allardyce succeed with Newcastle United?: 2 of 18

I feel it is better to look at this non-issue from an open mindset. These are predominantly young adults associated with a specific musical style and the supposed lifestyle that co... More..
Sports & Recreation > Sports Celebrities Will the Beckhams be able to give their children a normal life in America despite media attention?: 3 of 17
The children of David and Victoria Beckham have never experienced a normal life since they were born; whether in England or in Spain. I can only see one possible outcome now that the family live in America and that is a continuation of the patterns already in pace. Their father is one of the most iconic footballers that h... More..
Hobbies & Games > Video Game Consoles & Accessories Console reviews: The Nintendo Wii: 11 of 56
A few months ago was my first experience of the incredibly over hyped Nintendo Wii, after my sister had recently splashed out on one for her and the kids. On the face of it seems like a good idea, but I didn't really feel the excitement of it all. Even watching the kids playing, laughing and occasionally crying failed to alte... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: The first time: 7 of 35
The First Time I recall the first time I was caught swearing by my Dad The neighbour's dog came at me And I was raging mad It snapped around my ankles It's teeth bared, I lost my head. I could hardly kick the dog away So I swore at it instead. It quickly turned and ran away I had a smile from ear to ear. ... More..
