With the cost of fuel skyrocketing and environmental concerns escalating, it seems that we should all take matters into our own hands.While I totally believe in face-to-face interaction and traveling to meet with customers, I have taken many trips that, in hindsight, could have been handled just as well using collaboration/communication technology. Therefore, I have set a personal goal to reduce m
Do you have gift cards left over from Christmas and want to get the full value off? I was with my dad yesterday and we went into a Sears Hardware store. He was buying a power washer and had with him a $100 visa gift card that that he used somewhere earlier to purchase something [...]
What do we all reckon to Kate Hudson's dress at the Fool's Gold premiere, then? I thought it was fab, and I'd gladly risk my tassels coming undone if gorgeous Matthew McConaughey was going to come to my rescue. Somebody...
Now that those that aspire to higher education have applied to their list of fine institutions, let's talk about that application process.
I believe some are lucky enough to get enrolled into their dream college/university, but not all are as lucky. What about you?
Would education level affect the chances of ones getting their dream job? What's your thought?
Note: this is another way
I love the title song from the upcoming film Bhool Bhulaiyaa, cos it's got such a cool, catchy, hippie sound to it and it seems everybody likes it. But it has now run into a bit of controversy, because some religious nut-head has issues with it!Some NGO filed a petition against the Censor Board of Film Certification chairperson and four others in a Mumbai court seeking removal of the song. The NGO feels that the video for the song is derogatory to Gautama Buddha. The hearing of petition has been posted to October 6, reported UNI. One does not need to be Einstein to understand that it won't make a difference ;)Eight semi-nude girls are shown dancing to the tunes of the title song with Hare Rama Hare Krishna inscribed on their sparse clothing, says the petition. This is what irritated the group.I hardly agree with the people who filed the petition. I mean, thanks to the actions of people like Rajneesh Osho and many before and after him, eastern religions like Buddhism & Hinduism ha
Since we’d to go back to the Halifax in Spain, we thought that we’d stay in a hotel in Barcelona rather than doing a round trip of about six hours driving.
Good idea in principle as the hotel would have cost around the same as the petrol and tolls and we’d have had a full day in Barcelona too which would have been nice.
However, we didn’t allow for the combination of somewhat elevated prices (despite the hotel being almost empty) and the very poor signposting in the city. Anyway, we tried the Ibis which used to be around EUR 60 but is now EUR 90 so we thought we’d try the Campanile near Baricentro instead.
We’ve been planning on staying in that Campanile for ages as it’s just beside a shopping centre which needs a full day to do it properly plus the Campanile are brilliant for families. Not so this one. Despite their child policy allowing children under 12 to stay free, they said that they’d only rooms for two and we’d have to take
We’re hoping to buy a property in Spain at some point so have been hunting around for the best bank account as stage one in that process.
It turns out that the best short-term option for us is the Halifax because it offers completely free transfers of money from the UK which will be handy right now as it seems to be the cheapest way to get large chunks of cash from sterling into euros (the Nationwide is just as cheap but only practical for fairly small amounts).
Anyway, we couldn’t get down over the Summer and the first window of opportunity for us was yesterday as we’d nobody staying last night so we went off after the people from the night before had checked out. That looked like being quite a good time as the branch in Barcelona is open until 3pm so we were expecting to arrive around 2pm or so.
Those of you who’ve been reading this will know that we are rubbish at finding our way around Barcelona but unusually we managed to go more or less straight to the Ha
