Hooray for England! Yes, we can rejoice. (Well…almost.)
Despite being one of the world’s—if not number one—most unlikely possibilities for sportsman turned chat show host, Andy Murray has won through to the second grand slam final of his career, beating one of the funniest named tennis players ever: Monaco born Marin Cilic.
Andy Murray makes me feel proud to be British and he should make you feel proud, too; ever since Tim Henman’s failing legacy—no offence Tim, we know Read the rest of this entry »

The Twenty One Balloons is a fascinating work of fiction by renowned French American author and illustrator William Pene Du Bois. I’ve read the book five or six times and it always leaves me with a smile on my face, feeling several decades younger, as if I’ve been on an exhilarating, action-packed journey, free of the ties of the modern age.

Not all of us were born into the world of digital music… Some people (like me) found themselves here after spending a good few years in the realms of analogue!
If you have a computer then you will probably also have a lot of your music in MP3 format; but what about all of those old cassettes that you have stashed away in your attic? They may even have a lot of stuff recorded on them that you just can’t Read the rest of this entry »

Email Marketing has been an effective way to promote one’s business for many years in Internet marketing. However, it has to be done the right way. That way is by generating people’s names and email addresses through incentives and not spam. Spam would be considered going around the Internet (let’s take work at home directories, for example) and gathering people’s information through ads they place and then sending off emails to them in an attempt to promote your business.
