Quiz express is the answer for struggling pubs

Everyone likes a quiz right?
After my recent win of 20 euros on a pub quiz in Roquetas de Mar, I for one have a newly invigorated interest in popping to my local on quiz night. The problem is that my local, like so many other pubs in the past year has closed down. It seems they just can't hack it since the smoking ban, the cut price alcohol in supermarkets and the general climate of this recession. So maybe pubs should be making a concerted effort to offer us a bit more entertainment in the form of a well thought out quiz is the answer - and the best news is, quiz express http://www.quizexpress.co.uk/ will sort it all out for them so they don't have to think!

This is my gift to you - a way to make a little extra money online

Chocolates, Hearts and Overpriced Flowers

I am going to come across as a cynical twisted old crow of a woman when you read this but those who know me know that this cannot be further from the truth. I absolutely hate Valentine's Day and I feel like a romantic leper if I announce this in company because everyone else in the world seems to find it fantastic. Except of course if you are single, widowed or suffering a break up - then you probably hate it as much as I do!
The weird thing is that whether I am loved up or single, I have always felt the same about Valentine's Day because I think it forces such false emotion between couples. Some women I know only get flowers once a year and that once falls on February 14th. It is hardly a surprise gesture when you are expecting it! The other 364 days a year, their partners fail to show any romance but suddenly feel compelled to turn into the milk tray man and join the masses of Valentine's day. It is ludicrous to force such behaviours but year upon year, the general public are sucked into paying for overpriced roses. Check my article out for a jumbo sized rant about why I think Valentine's Day is nothing to celebrate...

Quit working and live like a millionaire

I am fed up of getting emails from total strangers or fraudsters offering to deposit ridiculous sums of money into my bank account. Lately, I am getting emails from a firm that is dealing with unclaimed inheritance telling me that I have been left nearly a million pounds by a long lost relative who lived in India. Ahemmmm. I think not. Tell me, do you honestly think that people follow up on these scammy spammy emails? One person in particular is bugging me at the moment and he goes by the somewhat ridiculous name of Mr Gatuso Bird. Mr Bird is persistent in his communication with me because he feels that he has an offer I cannot refuse.Instead of getting angry, I have gotten creative, so please click on the title and take a look at this little poem - it is dedicated to all my blog fans that share the same irritations as me on the subject!

Annoying things people say because they can't be arsed to speak properly

Is it just me or do you get eternally pissed off when people cannot be bothered to speak properly. I am specifically referring to their mis choice of words. I have a friend who says to me regularly 'Will you borrow me that dress?' or 'Can you learn me how to do that?'
It drives me up the wall and no matter how many times I try to correct her she still does it.
Another friend of mine cannot pronounce 'fifth'. He refers to his birthday being on the Fift of March. The 'th' just escapes him. Aaargh. And before you start thinking that I am intolerant of people with speech problems, the said friend can pronounce 'th' in other words so it is pure laziness.
I have put together six of my all time pet language peeves that really bug me. I know I should just let it go but I can't. I really get wound up when I hear someone substitute the word specific for pacific. Oh Pur-lease.... Click and enjoy my lovelies! and please add your own if there are any that annoy you - it would be nice to know I am not the only one ready to explode!
