Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Decisions: Making the most of life: 1 of 31
The way we respond to any situation we are faced with is very important. We should focus on the questions we ask ourselves and not with statements which we believe to be fact. To give you an idea what I mean I will use an example from 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. In the book, they use the p... More..
Travel > Ireland Travel destinations: Ireland: 1 of 23
When thinking of Ireland what springs to mind? The emerald isle? Guinness? The map of the country itself looks like the craggy profile of some old sage staring out into the Atlantic Ocean where nose is the counties of Galway and Mayo and the mouth is the River Shannon. However, for many people visiting Ireland they are attrac... More..
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer Assessing the future of the UK national sides: 1 of 11
With the UK national and Irish teams all failing to qualify for Euro2008 the football authorities must look at ways of reigniting the flame of passion-filled football to create a springboard for future success. To do this I suggest the reintroduction of the Home International Championships in a new fixture-friendly format pos... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Ideal models of democratic government: 3 of 22
If we are to discuss the best model for democracy we should first look at the British model as it is the longest established.

I'm not overtly political but I do find politics interesting even if it's just to see who is embroiled in the latest round of slea... More..
Sports & Recreation > Soccer Players A look at the David Beckham soccer phenomenon: 2 of 13
I wanted to post a few thoughts on David Beckham who looks to be joining Italian club, AC Milan in January 2009. A lot has been said that Becks shouldn't be in the England team anymore especially as he is likely to be just a bit-part player mainly due to the emergence of players like Theo Walcott, David Bentley and Shaun Wri...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: My son: 24 of 136
Beyond the pane, the elements groan The wind emits a climatic moan Beside me here, my son does sleep Oblivious to the darkness' creep I glance at him now, a work of art A joy to behold from the very start No frown or scowl, a boy at peace He lies so silent in his slumber's fleece Rushing headlong, the mankind race...

Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values Taking a time out: 5 of 27
Taking time out can be a touchy subject. How do you feel when you step-off life's magic roundabout? Do you feel guilty, relieved, selfish, happy? Daily life can be all-consuming as we rush from one appointment to the next doing chores and visiting friends or taking the children to after-school clubs or parties. With so much g... More..

Relationships & Family > First Dates First date turn offs and mistakes: 3 of 14
My dating tale is riddled with intrigue, lies and deceit and yet I find it all a bit of giggle in hindsight. First of all you have to remember that we are going back nearly 20 years for the events of this story and dating was a little different back then. These days most people who are struggling to meet by conventional me... More..
