THORPE PARK
Nestled in the English countryside, just outside the small, historical village Thorpe, is a theme park by the same name: Thorpe Park.

TRAVEL EUROPE
It is often necessary to be reminded that we are just a stone’s throw away from the continent that offers it all:History, scenery, amazing cities, fun filled cultural events, sun and even sandy beaches. Only a few experiences rival a picnic at the Eiffel tower, cruising the canals in Venice, enjoying a few cold ones in a traditional German Bräuhaus, or dwelling the Gladiator hallways of Rome’s ancient colis ...

THE NIGHT IS DARKEST BEFORE THE DAWN
Oil price, Interest rates & food prices set to decrease but so will the value of your home according to some analysts.

TRICIA WALTERS in Bermuda
I moved to Bermuda with my husband six years ago. We were hesitant to live on an island that’s only 22 square miles, but we’ve fallen in love with the way of life here. Everyone is so friendly, polite and laidback, especially in the summer when thousands of cruise ship passengers visit the island. Everyone greets you with a “good morning” or “good evening” even if they don’t know you.
The best part of livi ...
THE SOWETO Gospel Power Station
“Recharged”The Soweto Gospel Power Station
Having driven round the block what felt like 6 times I finally managed to spot a vacant parking bay outside the little South African shop down the road from us in Kingston-on-Thames, UK. “Result!” I said out loud and whipped my indicator on ferociously to mark my intention of moving into the bay and deterring any other gliding punters.

THE RISE AND FALL of the HUMMER
The rise and fall of the Hummer
In a world becoming increasingly aware of its carbon footprint, the popular Hummer once sold itself as a gratuitous symbol of excess, the 4x4 to end all 4x4s, a petrol guzzler that indicated its owner had the money to forgo rising fuel costs. Famously driven by celebrities, movie stars and even California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Hummer is still experiencing a dow ...

THE 80 20 RULE
A very valuable lesson to learn ...
In most cases, especially in relationships, you will only get 80% of what you NEED and you will hardly get the other 20% that you WANT in your relationship. There is always another person (man or woman) that you will meet and that will offer you the other 20% which is lacking in your relationship that you WANT.
And believe me, 20% looks really good when you are not get ...
