You know, I’m surprised at our English language. We used to discourage the word but and ain’t wasn’t suitable for some people’s ears. However everyone seems to use the word ’Twitter'like it has existed in the Oxford dictionary since the beginning of time.
I hear it in TV programmes, forums and even in the news, but [...]

I just don’t get the idea of pizza anymore. Sure I love a good slice of pizza, loaded with meat and vegetables, but when is it the right time to eat it?
Its easy to say its a fast food, just dial a number and dinner’s ready, but then you see those adverts that glorify pizza, [...]

Ah, that great word. That word symbolic of time spent at school doing things that one should not, at the back of the class-room, engrossed in full concentration on the task in hand. The doodle: king of art in all text-books. The doodle: the thing which can make even the dullest of lessons just about [...]
