They don’t seem to want the over-fifties in the job market while, at the same time, common-sense appears to have flown out of the window in the younger ones… Take climate change, all you hear is politically-motivated claptrap from people with an axe to grind about something. Where’s the motivation for ordinary people to do [...]

Wright now (sic) I am watching this on the box and I am blown away… I am so lucky that none of my children are even slightly overweight. If they don’t wise up these kids are likely to die early and miss out on so much. I sincerely hope that they take advantage of the [...]

One of the things we have to come to terms with as we get older is the loss of much-loved friends. November 29th 2007 is a date that will stick in our minds for a long time as the day we lost Nova. Personally, I prefer animals to most people. This is Nova’s story. Not [...]
