Inside the mind of a young IT Professional
Microsoft have just reduced the price of the Xbox 360 – only £160 for the basic edition.
What’s kind of spooky is that, just over the weekend, I was saying that I was considering buying a 360 just to casually play mindless shoot-em-ups on.
Thanks to a high profile campaign by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Jamie Oliver, the British public are buying less intensively-farmed chicken:
A new RSPCA poll shows the recent campaign on the plight of meat chickens reared in the UK each year – highlighted in programmes presented by Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall – has changed people’s buying habits.
The poll shows an amazing 73 per cent of consumers said that since recently discovering standard chickens were farmed in poor conditions they now buy chickens that have had a better life.
My vegan sister may have helped me over to the dark side( 
), but I’m still very pleased that the public is becoming more aware of where their meat comes from and how it lived. Much kudos to the RSPCA, Hugh, and Jamie!
Yesterday it was announced that Prince Harry had been “secretly deployed” in Afghanistan for the past 10 weeks; his deployment and whereabouts kept secret through a pact between the Ministry Of Defence and the media.
Putting aside the very valid issues surrounding the safety of himself, and his comrades, it really does make me wonder what else is being kept from us via secret “agreements”.
I’ve just spent the last week relaxing in Sherwood Forest; and then went from there to Sheffield, to visit my sister over the weekend 
A few things I’d really like to do at some point…
Maybe I’ll turn this into a WordPress page (rather than a Blog Post) and add to it as more things pop into my head
