Here are my invaluable – and they really are invaluable tips – to being more punctual and how you can help yourself. There. Don’t say I never give you anything!

Write a list the day before you do anything of what you’re going to do

1) You need a diary: no, you don’t need a diary like you need oxygen, but if you do have one you’ll find it a hundred times easier to keep to your times.

2) Consider it from the other person’s perspective. How would you like it if every time you did anything you had to wait for someone to sort themselves out? You’d be annoyed is what, and that is no good for anyone’s smiles!

3) Write a list the day before you do anything of what you’re going to do. With all the times set out and everything you can be sure that you’ll find it easier to turn up when people expect you to.

4) You pay less money if you’re on time: no car parking fines, no fines from the dentist, and no constantly having to text people to tell them that you’re unable to make it…again. This? It all leads to a much better life/work balance and that has got to be something we are all after, surely?

Watching TV ten years ago, things were very different. Yes, culture was leading us towards a door marked Give me instant gratification, but the internet had hardly ramped up properly, and many people were still absolutely clueless to online buying.

Fast forward to 2011 and things are very different. In all areas – irrelevant of class – people are seeking the best in technology. With mobile phones it’s the iphone, and with bicycles it’s the racing bikes which have become so widespread and popular in London.

When the riots happened it seemed to come as a surprise. To my mind it didn’t, and I know plenty of people who feel the same…

One of those people was a friend of mine who works specifically with hr software from octopus . He was at work when the riots came hurtling down his street, and being on the ground floor with big plate-glass windows, he was visible to all the rioters. In the next moment there was a smashing sound as a cafe table came crashing through the glass. A moment later and the looters were moving in, clearing the office of all the computers which had recently been newly installed.

Yes, it was kicked off by a shooting, but what about the rest of it? To me, that just seems like part of the trigger

The really sad part was that the certificates were taken off the wall too. Certificates awarding the fledgling company some prestigious accolades in computer software design.

Much as this was a horrific experience, it came as no shock to my friend. When talking about why this happened he said, “it had to happen. You look at the TV and all the stars are talking about how much money they made last year. It was only a matter of time until the opportunity was seen and seized.” And I think he got it about right. Yes, it was kicked off by a shooting, but what about the rest of it? To me, that just seems like part of the trigger.

I agree with what has been said in the papers and on the news; education is needed to teach the youth – and those in their twenties and thirties – just what consequences their actions will have. This is happening in the courts, of course, but my big fear is that this won’t deter the people who weren’t caught, and now feel that they can get away with anything.

Of course, we are not out of the woods yet. Now we also have to face the fact that there is inequality in the system and that the MPs are getting much less harshly treated than the youth who were in the riots. That said, some examples do need to be made, because without them there will be no bar set to deter them from doing the same in the future.

The internet is evil. You can always count on The Sun to be completely reactionary to whichever way the wind blows. The fact the no one seems to notice that bad boy Murdoch is the one directing the wind is neither here nor there. I came across an article on The Sun online and I couldn’t stop laughing. Posted online in 2004 when anti terrorism sentiment was at its height, the article shows just how stupid we can be sometimes.

Okay, it’s not the most applause worthy playground game of all time, but let’s face it all us little boys were doing similar violent re-enactments when we were that age. The kids portrayed in this article are just like you and I were. To be honest we were probably even worse! It’s not their fault that they were being videoed by some sick people who used their game to incite hatred and more violence. Adults are far worse then children when it comes to playing sick games.

These days anyone of us can upload anything we want on the internet from anywhere in the world. The most pressing concern for people is the data charges they’re subject to when travelling the globe. No one cares too much about whose doing what at the moment as long as it isn’t costing them. To go as far as The Sun does declaring the internet as the root of all evil reeks of double standards. Obviously not one reporter knows what the word %u2018irony’ means considering the report appeared on their website.

It’s true that there are many evil people out there exploiting the internet for their own means, but the only way to stop them from doing it, is to ignore the rants and videos. Publicising the material only serves to propagate the lunatic’s message of fear. Why on earth would we want to do that? Well newspapers like The Sun sell more by preying on our fears so they’re more then happy to assist nutters by giving them all the publicity they wanted in the first place. It makes me wonder if we’ve been targeting the wrong people when it comes to declaring a war on terror. Just look at this video from YouTube to illustrate how stupid people are when trying to blame evil on the internet.

With the wonderful phone hacking scandal still causing ripples around the world, I find it funny that out of all the things Murdoch could have been busted for, phone hacking is the one that will seriously destroy a lot of Newscorp’s credibility. I for one will not be sad to see his family’s influence wane in stature. The only depressing thing about the whole thing is that you know that someone else will take Murdoch’s place and become the new purveyor of fear and hatred all for a quick buck. These aspects of journalism always make me shake my head in disgust.

Like many people, like you, perhaps, I like to think of myself as a relatively daring individual. Do I jump off buildings with a parachute strapped to my back? No. Have I ever jumped on a passing speeding mugger and stopped him in his tracks and appeared in the local paper because of it? Definitely not (and for the record, the only jump I am likely to do is one where I feel like I have shedded my skin after a spider scared the hell out of me!).

Because life is too short. In my opinion, it’s​good to talk, and catching up with people is one​of the best kinds of talking

Like many people, like you, perhaps, I like to think of myself as a relatively daring individual; someone who isn’t totally boring and takes some decent risks. Do I jump off buildings with a parachute strapped to my back? No. Have I ever jumped on a passing speeding mugger and stopped him in his tracks and appeared in the local paper because of it? Definitely not (and for the record, the only jump I am likely to do is one where I feel like I have shedded my skin after a spider scared the hell out of me!).

So what do I mean by being daring, then, you might ask.

Simple: I mean that if I am walking down the street and see someone who I think I might know, but haven’t seen for ages, I stop them and say %u201CHey, aren’t you…%u201D

Why do I do this? Because life is too short. In my opinion, it’s good to talk, and catching up with people is one of the best kinds of talking. It’s truly wonderful, and that, my friend, is why you should be brave and stop someone if you think you know them.

Of course, it can sometimes go very wrong. It can transpire that that girl with long hair and a buggy is really a grizzly-looking biker dude who is staring at you. A man with massive tattoed arms…

But still, although it can have its hazards — and it really can, so you better be prepared to be insulted a few times by total strangers… — I think the rewards justify the risk. Even if occasionally you end up in a conversation with a man called Derek who has been working at OT Jobs %u2013 doing I don’t know what; I was so bored I think my mind shut off and erased everything it possibly could %u2013for the best part of 25 years…

Why Bristol is great : Everyone knows that Bristol is great,…

But local councils obviously do not see this behaviour in quite the same way… That is why more and more ticket machines are appearing where it is necessary to enter your registration number (which is then printed on your ticket). We know that Pay and Display car parks raise money for local councils, but this is still downright mean. After all, what difference does it make to anyone if you are sharing the length of your stay with someone else?

The planning behind this new wave of machines is pretty despicable if you think about it; even though you have unused time left on your ticket, you are unable to pass it on because it has the wrong registration number printed on it! Therefore everyone has to pay for their stay, even if it is only for five minutes or so!!! Crafty, huh?

The next thing to appear will be a machine that demands you sell your gold before you are able to park your vehicle! Watch this (parking) space…

Character Ideas For Your Writing… : Stuck with your mystery…

You will need what? Well, you will need good education to start a successful and profitable career. The aim of this article is not to motivate you, but to show you why education matters so much. And no matter what you want to do in life - be it tattoo removal or software engineering, you will need to excel in what you are doing in order to survive in the current economic climate. There are some research results from surveys showing why education is so necessary and important:

• More than a third of the employers asked by Forbes in their survey indicate that they are not willing to employ a person who has no higher education certificate. The other two thirds answer that they will do so in extremely rare circumstances and provided that the person has a high academic achievement and quite impressive work experience.
• Most of the employers were certain as to the payment they would ensure to educated people - the more educated a person is when being employed by their respective institutions, the better the salary would be and the conditions for extending any existing contract between the company and the person in question.
• Many of the high paid employees answer that they have achieved all their accomplishments thanks to their education.
• Two thirds of the people working without having a higher education certificate regret the fact they did not complete a university course.

So what is the conclusion from the Forbes Survey on education necessity - education is a determinative factor for one’s life nowadays. So do not ignore it - rather go for it. After all, university life is not bad at all as well.

It’s not really surprising, then, that a lot of people see the no-money-thing as being the most important. After all, we all need jobs, whether it’s Radiographer Jobs or working in a chip van at night. But what I am getting at is this: volunteering can be very beneficial. OK, so you’ll be giving up your time, but so what? What you get back can be amazingly good and worth more than any money. Priceless, you might say.

I volunteered recently at a record shop. They needed someone to go through the records and put them in order, and I like records so I decided why not? I would help.

And it was great. For that day every week I met different people and saw new things. I learned how to interact with crazy hip-hop loving hippies, and had much more of a laugh in my regular job. So my advice would be to have a go and see if it’s for you. Like I said, you’ll never get rich but so what? This is more important – you’re not only helping yourself but you’re putting something back into society.

Eternally About Me : As I have said at the bottom of this page,…

1) How to cook just enough pasta, but not so much you waste loads (from a man who looked like he had drunk so much he probably couldn’t spell pasta anymore).

2) How to change tires on a Mazda MX3.

3) How to balance a spoon on my nose (from Mandy, aged 11, talking to her Mum Cherie).

4) How to get an 8 pack in two days. From a man who looked really desperate to get people to join his gym. I did not believe a word of it.

There should be open university courses where you sit on the train and learn things. If there were then I’d already have done about three of them, and I would have completed them all without incurring loads of debt, too!

Take my advice and keep your eyes and ears open on the train. When you’re anywhere in the company of others, in fact. You’ll learn more than you could ever imagine, including how much power a roaming advisor app on your iphone uses up (from Gavin, computer geek, aged 43. What a dork).

Tattoos and what they mean : Tattoos have held the attention of…

After a stressful day at work, there are a few things that really help you kick back and relax: one of them is drinking until you can’t feel your face or the ground beneath you – which is probably why I always wake up hours later with the ground beneath me, feeling my face very much… – and the other is eating Pringles, chocolate, and watching The Sopranos on TV all night until you practically feel like you’re a gangster who needs to watch his or her back. Now you can add another to the list, and that’s going to the Zoo.

I was never a real fan of the Zoo, but recently I’ve come around to the idea, especially where endangered animals are concerned. In the Zoo I can forget all my woes, and plus the animals make me laugh.

The Chimpanzee makes me laugh because the way he walks reminds me of my Boss. The tigers make me laugh because they laze around doing nothing, just sort of smiling with their big lethal teeth. Oh, and there is one Meerkat who really looks like our cleaner at work. There’s even a bat which bears a remarkable resemblance to Tony from the roaming rates department. Honestly, no word of a lie, wander the Zoo enough and it’ll be like you entered a parallel universe where all your work mates had been born as animals. It’s much easier to like your boss when he’s a Chimpanzee who casually does a big fat poo in front of you.

Growing up, I wanted a better name than “Rich”, not a bit better but a lot better…a name with meaning and purpose, and a name that would make people stop in their tracks with amazement. A name that would make people say “My goodness, why wasn’t I called such a fantastic name?”. To me, at a young age, the name Rich signified all things common and dull and English and boring. I wanted to be called Pablo or something cool like that that represented a Spanish Don. Not too obscure, but with enough different about it to make me stand out in the playground.

Names are important, you see, especially when it comes to picking up ladies. For example, can you imagine someone called Pablo having great difficulty picking up the chicks? I doubt it somehow. For some reason, a name seems to be so much more than just a few letters one after another.

Another thing about names is that they give you expectation; it’s a well known fact that before you meet someone, you are already forming a judgement. I mean, if you’re going to meet a new friend called Jon then chances are you might imagine his parents liked to think outside the box by dropping the conventional h. So I always used to worry that when people met me they thought I would be the world’s most uninteresting person. Unfounded maybe, but that’s puberty and growing-up for you.

There are, however, some big advantages to having a simple name. Such as when you are drunk you can say “me Rich…me need bread “. I can’t imagine saying that would be very easy if your name was Guadalupo or something. Maybe I should think myself lucky after all. We change our energy suppliers all the time, but you can’t just switch your name.
