With the Red Hot Chili Peppers' (henceforth to be known as RHCP) last studio album starting to become a distant memory having been released way back in 2002 it was high time the Californian rock outfit hit the recording studios again.

Being a confirmed gadget freak and realising I had not changed my mobile phone for at least six months I decided it was high time to put that right.

CURIOUSITY KILLED THE DOG - "This will not be a funny book. I cannot tell jokes because I do not understand them" Just who would kill Mrs Shear's poodle with a garden fork? This is the question Christopher Boone asks himself as he cradles the still warm body of Wellington the poodle in his arms. Unfortunately before Christop... More..
Computers & Technology > MP3 Players Product reviews: Apple iPod: 6 of 20
This is a review of the fourth generation iPod - Now lets be honest, even as little as ten years ago if someone had told you there would soon be a contraption that could store and playback your whole music collection you may well have laughed in their face.

Computers & Technology > Consumer Electronics (Other) How to clean an LCD screen: 3 of 10
Having parted with well over four hundred dollars for a brand new TFT monitor a couple of months ago I proceeded to make the screen smeary when I tried to clean it with a common can of furniture polish. Well it works on the TV why wouldn't it work on the monitor? Well, it didn't work, no matter how hard I polished and rubbed... More..
Arts & Humanities > Children's Literature Best children's books: 14 of 43
My vote for the best Children's book goes to the Roald Dahl classic Danny the Champion of the World. Few authors can tell a tale like the late great Mr Dahl. Danny lives with his father in an old gypsy caravan behind the filling station they own. It had been this way since Danny's Mother had died when he was just four months... More..

Food & Drink > Candy & Desserts Product reviews: Snickers Bar: 2 of 6
We all know what to expect if we decide a Snickers bar is required. Delicious milk chocolate mixed with nuts and caramel in bar form. Snickers are amongst my favorite chocolate bars so I'm nearly always to be found with at least one packet in my shopping basket to keep my stocks replenished. Usually I manage to resist the te...

Food & Drink > Soup & Stew Recipes Recipes: Pumpkin bisque: 1 of 3
So it's Halloween again and households who enjoy a spot of Pumpkin carving are faced with the perennial quandary of what to do with that large pile of Pumpkin flesh so delicately extracted from the shell. Wouldn't it be so much easier if Pumpkin farmers could perfect a way of growing Pumpkins without the filling? But, barrin... More..

Being the proud owner of 3 boisterous Labradors I was looking for a car with Space and Style that would not need Refueling twice a week. I looked at various mini vans before deciding on a Kia Sedona, Mainly because I had never heard of Kia. The Salesman was well informed and seemed to have a genuine passion when selling the ... More..
