Don't mention the 'B' word

The most controversial word in British politics in the last few decades, Brexit divided the nation also straight down the middle. Before the referendum was called, leaving the EU wasn't really in the front of most peoples mind, but due to a political play from the prime minister of the time, David Cameron, it was thrusted into the limelight.

What makes the perfect weekend?

When working the whole week there is no better way to spend a weekend other than crashed out on the sofa watching films? Well no actually, as explained in this article recently featured on Lifehacker. Simply relaxing won't make you as happy as keeping active and busy.

Letting Agents

I make no apologies, this post will be a rant. Having had a stressful couple of months trying to move house things are finally settling down and hence I am taking time to go back to the things I used to such as blogging and drawing. I also write this to reflect on the last couple of months and the letting process as a whole.

Right now the letting market is crazy, less people can afford mortgages and the competition is tight to rent property. Most properties are let within a week or so of being advertised, unlike buying, tenants really don't have any power in negotiating letting terms. If they don't agree other tenants are queueing up to sign on the dotted line.

Music Unplugged

Just a quick shout out for live unplugged music videos, proof that real musicians don't need electronic aids or flashy videos to make quality music. The video below is The Cranberries performing a Tiny Desk Session which takes place in an office in Washington. What I like most about these videos is the simplicity, music shouldn't be complex and this series from NPR is a great illustration of this.



While i'm on the subject X103.9 also does a great series of acosutic videos from artists mainly from the alternative rock scene.

Living in the UK

Just recently I spotted a book to prepare Immigrants for the citizenship test on life in the UK. It got me thinking, what should someone know when going to live in the UK, what it means to immigrate to another country and about multicultural living.
