If you’re looking for a low cost function room, then the Standard Triumph Social club may be suitable. We used it last weekend to celebrate the christening of our daughter. The cost of booking the room was £50. One of the big advantages that kept the cost low is that they allowed us to provide […]

A mandatory 40MPH sign greeted me as I joined the M42 motorway on my daily commute to work this morning. It’s part of an £100M advanced scheme to improve the flow of traffic on a congested stretch of motorway, with the possibility of it being rolled out to other areas if successful. This is the […]

It’s been a while between it’s release and me actually getting to watch this film. Whilst the trailers did look good, they were not enough to make me want to sit down and watch this over other films. Having now seen this I think it’s a great film, one of the best I’ve seen in […]

Whilst my favourite book is still The Prisoner of Azkaban, this film has instantly become my favourite. There appears to be a logical progression in the films that each one appears to be targeted […]

I’ve now got my first Digital SLR camera. It’s a Nikon D50 6.1Megapixel camera with 18-55mm lens. Now I’m no expert as far as cameras are concerned, but comparing it against the digital (non-SLR) cameras I’ve had it just blows them out of the water. This camera is one of the cheapest digital SLR’s and […]

One of the most useful things that we’ve bought for our baby is Techni-Ice (Chillerz). Tehni-Ice is like the freeze blocks that you use to keep food cold in a cold-box, but much better. I actually bought this over a year before my baby was born, and left it unused as I didn’t find an […]
