On me head my son… – football gifts!

Not to ‘strike’ a gloomy tone in this run up to December and all things festive… but for me the school football experience was a relatively dull affair. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the camaraderie… but being goalie you can understand my bitterness when it comes to that green field of dreams. Rather than pacing up front to steal victory (proudly punting a rather deflated ball through the back of a worn net) I stood cold and wet on the line, raising my head every few moments each time the whisper of anything remotely spherical came hurtling through the fog.

Stir their passion with a personalised football book!

The Premiership season is heating up.

Chelsea currently sit on top of the league having beaten Manchester United 1-0 last Sunday, opening up a five point lead. Arsenal, on a thirteen match unbeaten run in all competitions, are scoring for fun with their Manager, Arsène Wenger, claiming that they can win the title this season. Big spenders Manchester City are steadily keeping pace with the top four but have stumbled in recent games, drawing their last five Premiership games. Liverpool, however, have slipped to a number of defeats and draws in recent weeks leaving them struggling in the title race. Read more

Buyagift… licensed to thrill!

My first experience of James Bond was during a weekend stay with my Gran.

I haven’t been the same since. So imagine my delight when browsing the web the other day. It all became clear in one life altering revelation. I have discovered the secret of James Bond’s inexhaustible array of talents…Buyagift.com. Read more

They’re not called golden years for nothing!- Retirement gifts

Listen… do you hear that?? The sound of blissful retirement

In my opinion, the idea retirement sounds like heaven. I’m sure you as well as I can appreciate that relaxing is so much more rewarding if it has been earned. Well those young at heart family members certainly have earned it! So to celebrate their retirement, and pay them back for all those years of £20 notes… it’s never too late to say a hearty thank you!

Dear Georgie- solutions for Gormless plinthers…

Having recently been annexed by Anthony Gormely and his merry band of attention-seekers, Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth is allowing select members of the general public the chance to ‘represent themselves’ in an hour long shift atop the stone podium.  Without wishing to appear too cynical, it is only understandable that, with a cast of over 2,400, ‘quality’ is going to be compromised somewhere along the line- when I went along a few weeks ago, I was met by the sight of a man wrapped in toilet paper, shuffling around on all fours whilst texting on his Blackberry like a technologically-aware Andrex puppy.

Set the kitchen on fire (not literally!) with a cookery lesson

With so much attention being focussed on master chefs such as Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay, it’s not surprising that you might have missed the latest culinary sensation that’s sweeping the nation. No, it’s not meatball football or omelette gymnastics (although we wish those things existed). Instead of visiting restaurants, budding cooks are opening their own – in their homes.

Dubbed ‘Supper Clubs’, dinner events are advertised through social networking websites, offering food enthusiasts the chance to experience a unique style of fine dining. Similar to scenarios seen on shows such as Come Dine with Me, guests as invited to eat with complete strangers, making for a much more communal take on the typical dining out experience. Read more
