Creative Writing > Essays Essays: Home towns

1 of 32

If you live in a big city suburb, you may find the concept of a "home town" a tad odd, but I've tried to think of my own "turf" in this way, and do you know what, it actually comes out sounding quite interesting!Prior to this I hadn't thought about where I live as my home town despite having lived in the area for all but the ...

Computers & Technology > Online Shopping & Trade Guide to eBay

1 of 16

I can't claim to be either a professional eBay user, or even a semi-professional eBay user, but I have used it quite a lot, both as a buyer, and to a lesser extent as a seller, but maybe, just maybe there's some advice in here that novices might find useful.I'll also touch upon Paypal, which, although it is another organizati...

Travel > Europe Travel experiences: Spain

1 of 13

Mention Andalucia to a lot of people and their immediate reaction is "well, I know it's in Spain, but don't ask me where".Mention the Costa del Sol instead and then they'll say,"OH! THERE!"To be fair, I have done the "beach thing" on the Costa del Sol myself, having stayed in Nerja a few times several years ago. Even then, it... More..

Travel > Bus & Train Travel Train travel recommended for vacationers

2 of 17

A couple of years ago, my wife and I decided to spend the "kid's inheritance" on a a five-week trip to Australia via Singapore on the way there, and Bangkok on the way back. Rather than try to write some sort of resume of Oz, which would only be a hopeless scratching at the surface, I have decided to describe one aspect of th... More..

Travel > Europe A visitor's guide to Crete, Greece

1 of 8

Last year I spent an October week in Crete. It was somewhere I'd already been to ("in a previous life" as my 2nd wife calls it) and she's always wanted to go to. Having not been there since 1974 and fearing the worst excesses of tourism, I was reticent, but as she'd booked a stay nowhere near my previous haunts, I was quite ... More..

Computers & Technology > Cell Phone Reviews Product reviews: Samsung SGH-D900

1 of 7

Revision: I'm writing this as a Samsung user of some 9 months in the UK. I've left UK prices and names of networks in merely to show the thought process that led me to the Samsung . Not realizing that the site would strip out my Pound symbols, I have now called them GBPs.TAA - TAA , MOTO !It hardly seems like yesterday I was ... More..

Entertainment > Entertainment (Other) The world's worst jokes

5 of 32

It's an interesting concept trying to pin down what you consider to be a bad joke, let alone the "worst" jokes.For example, if you like subtle jokes, then you'll hate, and no doubt groan at corny jokes, and personally, a corn-a-thon would be my very own idea of hell.If you're into "toilet" humor, then subtle jokes will leave ...

Travel > Travel Diaries & Adventures (Other) Cruise travel: Pros and cons

3 of 18

A cruise is one of those types of vacation that I've always doubted as being for me, what with all that dressing for dinner and non-stop food.Then of course, there's the expense, or at least there was.Then along came British company, Airtours with a clutch of refurbished ex-Caribbean cruisers offering vacations pitched firmly...

Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Living in London

2 of 10

As a Londoner, born and bred, I've been meaning to write this for a while, and it wasn't until I walked the length of my favorite canal-side walk a few weeks back, that it dawned on me that tourists only ever get to hear about and see The Thames. None of the tranquility of London's hidden waterways ever gets an mention, so th... More..

Travel > Europe Travel experiences: Budapest, Hungary

1 of 5

I can't pretend that what follows is a true travel guide to Budapest, since we only went there for a long weekend, but it's a taster. Rather than try to see everything fleetingly, we opted for one of two items that took our fancy, vowing, no doubt, to come back again. Since going there, which is MONTHS ago now, there have bee...
