Now if you car is really very dirty, with mud and other serious stuff like tree sap etc., this method won't do much at all. If like me you just haven't washed you car in a few months and it's got some grime and dust on it, then you can cheaply and easily, with virtually no effort improve the car's appearance. Most people wrongly assume that when it rains, cars get a much deserved clean-up. The

A good friend of mine suggested I take a look Zeitgeist - The Movie. It follows in the footsteps of other "revelationary" films such as The Secret, Earthlings and An Inconvenient Truth. I'm sure there are other films out there but I don't have time to watch them all.Anyway, Zeitgeist was one of those films designed to shake the very foundations of modern life. It covers Religion, Banking and the

We all know the story about allofmp3.com and how the RIAA fought and lost a battle to have the website shutdown. In actual fact, the site was shutdown (for music sales anyway) despite the Russian courts ruling in its favour. Today there are a number of excellent online music stores which have mushroomed out of the allofmp3.com debacle.I've just started using www.mp3fiesta.com, which is allegedly

Speaking as a non-white male living in a predominantly white country I can't help but feel angry at the disproportionate news coverage, donations, celebrity support etc. that the Madeline McCann disappearance (now more likely murder) has received.Her parents, white and blond, used the media like pass masters to capture and enthrall the world with their plight.At first it all seemed fairly

The other day whilst shopping in one of our splendid, mainstream, and clearly monopoly supermarkets, I noticed how expensive toilet rim blocks are (the liquid ones.)My wife typically buys these things with no consideration of price, bullied by adverts of talking toilets shaming her into spending a disproportionate amount on bathroom hygiene.When we came to the checkout, I discretely removed the

A while ago I discovered a neat way to save money on Nikwax.Basically it involved changing the way you use the TX.Direct Wash-in version.With my method you can safely waterproof over a dozen garments using a single bottle.Here goes:Ingredients:1 x Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-in1 x Spay bottle (about 500ml capacity)1 x hair dryer (optional)1 x rubber/latex gloves (for your protection)Process:Fill Spray

A friend's recent trip to Las Vegas, USA, was seriously ruined wwithin 15 minutes of landing at McCarran International Airport.The problem started as soon as she finished queuing to clear immigration. She approached the desk alongside her husband who presented both their British passports to the immigration officer. Her husband was asked was to move along whilst his wife, my friend, was ask to

On the BBC website, there is an article on call centre crime in India (Call centre 'scam' details sought.) It's all about a TV exposé on the UK Channel 4, from a programme called Dispatches.Apparently, call centre crime in India is rife, with sensitive user information being traded for a price on the back streets of India's hi-tech corridor.Having had advance notice of the programme's air date, I

On a recent flight with Easyjet from Gatwick to Southern Spain, I discovered that despite the plane being brand new, Easyjet had decided to omit reclining seats.The flight was short, only around 3 hours, but it was crowded with families going on holiday. I asked the flight attendant why my seat didn't recline, thinking that mine was broken, but he informed me that new Easyjet planes were no
