DIY Sparks Sex War

Posted on by


 

An online poll asking who is better at DIY – men or women – has erupted into a fierce battle between the sexes. The poll is featured on the home improvement and DIY website www.lets-do-diy.com. And the huge response it has generated seems to indicate that the most explosive area for gender conflict has shifted from the traditional battleground of driving ability to DIY.

 

The website’s editor, John Burry, says: “We thought asking if men or women were better at DIY would provide lets-do-diy.com with a little light relief, but both sexes appear to have very strong views on the subject.” Continue reading →

Nintendo Wii – First Thoughts

Posted on by

I’m not much of a gamer myself but I am partial to a bit of Guitar Hero on the Xbox 360 and own a Nintendo DS. I was quite happy with leaving my gaming at this.

I heard about the Nintendo Wii and was curious to see it in action. The other night I pooped round a friends house and saw someone playing bowling. It looked like a great novelty so after very little persuasion I decided I simply must have one to play on myself.

Here is the first negative. I started at my local blockbuster video store where I knew they sold it. I was told that there was no stock and there was no expected date. I thought this was fair enough as they are only a small store. Off I went to PC world – I hate this store. You can never get anyone to help you in there. After standing around for a while I decided to queue at the checkout and ask the operator there. No stock and no due date. I then headed off to Currys, Comet and Toys R Us. Exactly the same story. This was becoming a joke. It would appear that Nintendo had not supplied nearly enough consoles for the demand. Continue reading →

The First Review

Posted on by

Welcome to Review Blog. here you will find many opinions and reviews. Most of these will come from myself and a few from friends and colleagues around the world. I thought the best thing to start this off would be to review myself!

Who am I? Well I am 26 years old and live in the sunny (ha ha) UK. I work full time in a job I do not like and for the last year, in my spare time, I run my own business on the web. This is yet to be successful but I have high hopes. I live on my own but about to move in with my pregnant girlfriend.

I have several hobbies. These include maintaining several websites I own, everything computer related and playing the Guitar. Continue reading →
