Are you one of the chosen ones this year busily planning their wedding? Well if you are you may well have considered a hiring a Marquee. The thing I want to know is why anyone would want to hire a marquee? Look at the scenario, the wedding is planned, the skies are grey and the field you have placed your over-sized tent on is subject to a deluge of water and all of a sudden those wedding guests need Caterpillar shoes, not the latest from Carvela or Gina for the occasion!
The situation is not unthinkable, it happens every year!
Take last summer, we all know it was incredulously lousy, in fact all it seems to have done since last year is rained, so planning a summer wedding with a bit of canvas over separating me from the elements is nothing short of risky.
If you have a glorious day then a Marquee makes perfect sense, but, and here’s the but, you can never predict the weather in the UK and that is exactly why I cannot see me ever choosing to have an event in a Marquee. Give me a hotel with four walls and a fixed bar any day of the week and I am a far happier person! Or give me a guarantee there will be no rain - but that is not likely to ever happen!

I don’t know if you have had the pleasure or ever seeing Living TV’s, well if you haven’t then I’ll save you the bother, it’s awful. I cannot see how TV regulators allow this sort of rubbish to be aired on TV.
The ghost hunting spectacle is nothing short of visual diarrhoea. Fronted by the unpopular Paul Ross who is as equally untalented as the blood-sucking Jonathan Ross who loves his big wage packet courtesy of the UK’s TV license payers, the show sends ex Blue Peter presenter to locations throughout the UK to make contact with ‘the other side’.
Most Haunted has more loopholes than an MP’s rulebook and looks as genuine as the war in Iraq.
I found a blog post that summed-up the charade that is Most Haunted have a look for yourself.
Most Haunted - Fake!

I cannot say that I am a great one for jewellery. The thought of going out and having to choose an item of jewellery for anyone is simply repulsive. Yet there are those of us who spend small fortunes on Jewellery and love wearing the stuff.
If truth be told if I had a choice of jewellery I would favour the gold variety, but everywhere I look, the world of jewellery seems to be dominated by silver jewellery.
Silver as a colour is ok, I used to have a silver car, but if I do have to stare at jewellery I do prefer gold. One of my girlfriends is nuts about silver jewellery, so much so that she spent an evening showing me her favourite online stores, oh the joy! The strange thing is/was one of the online stores that she showed me was literally five minutes walk away from her flat!
If anyone can explain to me the virtues of silver jewellery then please feel free to enlighten me. Until then, if I do have to look at jewellery it’s gold for me.
