A-levels and the sale of essays

Did anyone else think it was a bit rotten of the news programmes yesterday to do a piece on the sale of essays on the Internet? I just feel that, whatever your opinions on whether A-levels have got...

Nice/horrible haircuts

Which famous person do you think has the nicest/worst haircuts? I like Posh's new style, I saw the first imitation yesterday in town. I hate Adam from Corrie's haircut.

After years of unsuccessfully trying to keep neighbors' cats out of my garden (I hate cats) and being stressed out to find nothing works, I've changed my attitude instead. I still loathe cats but...

Over-exposed TV personalities

I'm sick of the way that TV over-uses certain TV personalities until you want to throw a brick at the screen. There's a long list - Anneka Rice (recently and mysteriously re-emerged), Anthea Turner,...
