I like to think I'm an optimist, always able to turn a negative into a positive, every cloud has a silver lining. However, when it comes to the financial mess that the UK is in following 13 years of Labour rule, I feel distinctly gloomy. Before we can address the issue, we need to get a clear understanding of the problem. So lets start with some simple facts for the 2011/2012 tax year and explain

Most of you will remember the blue from the Intel processor adverts, as well as appearing in adverts they are an incredibly talented group of musicians as well. This video clip will give you an idea of just how talented they are, its my all time favorite cover of version of Donna Summers "I Feel Love", featuring the equally amazing Venus Hum on vocals. Turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy!

Here we go, another new product from Apple - but will it live up to the hype? It certainly looks good and with the success of the iPhone to build on the reputation is already there. But does it perform? I've not been lucky enough to get my hands on one to try it out, but from what I've read it seems to be lacking in some basic functionallity. Watch the video below to see what Hilter thinks of the

Invented and designed by Dr John Taylor for Corpus Christi College in Cambridge, this amazing clock cost £1 million to build. It was unveiled by Professor Stephen Hawkings and takes pride of place on the exterior of the college's new library building. It uses the 'grasshopper' escapement, but instead of a grasshopper it features a Chronophage, a mean looking time eating creature that devours 60

The new and improved Windows 7 has now been unleashed on us, so we wondered what the Matrix would be like if it ran on Windows. Well, it turns out we were not the only ones to ponder that very question - the guys and girls over college humour have put together a fantasic spoof of the Matrix running on Windows.

Earlier in the year we decided that we would sell our house and move to something a bit bigger. Even though there were concerns about the state of the housing market we decided to go ahead and put our house on the market. Seven months later and after countless viewings we gave up. It's not that we didn't have interest in the property, we had offers on the property that we would have accepted,

A Channel 4 film titled "The Great Global Warming Swindle" broke Ofcom rules, the media regulator says. The film caused an uproar when it was released as it attempted to show that global warming is not man made. The way in which they did this was nothing short of disgusting, they misquoted the former UK chief scientific advisor Sir David King and took comments from Carl Wunsch out of context.

For the UK motorist there are many dangers when out on the roads. Some of these dangers put your life and your car at risk, others are putting your money and licence at risk - speed cameras (some call them GATSO's but I prefer to call them scameras). They are like yellow metal triffids spitting out fines at the unwary, unwise or unlucky motorists. You may be surprised to hear that there is a way

I noticed the other day that the most common car colour in the UK seems to be grey. Now to me that is the most boring colour. Battleship grey, dirty grey, grey skies, dull grey, boring, boring boring.Some people call it 'silver' but who are they kidding? They've just bought a car in metallic grey!So is it just us Brits who buy cars in boring colours? What about the rest of the world?

To make for the last post being a bit depressing, here's something fun that everyone can try.1. While sitting at your desk, lift your right foot off the floorand make clockwise circles.2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.Your foot will change direction.And there's nothing you can do about it!
