Like most parents of young kids, I’m a fan of sleep and would dearly love to get much more of it but if the general perception is correct teenagers love their sleep even more. It would be easy to assume they are just being lazy but I’ve recently read an interesting report […]

You can read all about it by clicking on the badge but basically you need a tweet for each day to sum up what you did. They don’t have to be tweets you actually sent. You can just write a 140 character summary […]

What does it mean to be married? Why do we want to do it? Why is it important? Many people feel it’s about love, most people consider it to be a long term commitment, plenty prioritise faithfulness and monogamy, a few […]

You can read all about it by clicking on the badge but essentially we’re going to attempt to summarise our week in seven tweets. They can be tweets you actually sent or just a 140 character summary that you write in retrospect. […]

I don’t spend much time on it especially since going back to work. I’m seeing it more as a project to the future. But then […]

Is this a genuine attempt to help people find work or are the big companies involved just taking advantage of the free labour? I have to say I’m sceptical about the system although I […]

Not that it wasn’t horrible, it’s just that it doesn’t come as a surprise to me. Time after time these over grown, over paid schoolboys behave atrociously and there’s a little outcry, a slap on the wrist and then everything […]

Usually I would have known it was coming up but this year I’m ashamed to say I had to see it trending of Twitter before I remembered.
