Neighbours were awoken in Cathays, Cardiff by a Czech National howling like a wolf in a tree at 6.30am. Most of his neighbours were annoyed because he had woken them up before their alarms went off. Not only that but the police were called in and the road blocked until 8.30am. The Czech National who after telling the neighbours to mind their own business when they shouted to him to shut up, refused to speak any more English, and an interpreter had to be called to the scene, when he was finally coaxed out of the tree, he was checked over by the ambulance crew and then later taken to a local mental hospital. My question is how much would all this nonsense have cost the tax payer? Surely a few pair of earplugs would have sufficed?

We all have things that we do not like about our bodies and more and more of us are opting for plastic surgery to give us that perfect pair of boobs or pert bottom. Obviously,Plastic Surgery can be a major procedure and therefore, it is very important to find the right place to have it done. We’ve all heard the horror stories of people who have had bad plastic surgery jobs done which have actually ruined their lives instead of improving them so that is why it is so important to make sure the Surgery that you go to has a good reputation. One of the best ways to find a good surgery is to get a personal recommendation from somebody who has already had the procedure that you want done successfully.

However, if you don’t know anybody, ask the clinic to put you in contact with a patient of theirs whose had the same procedure and speak to them. Other helpful tips would be to make sure your surgery is registered with the General Medical Council – www.gmc-uk.org, or Seek a practitioner who is also a member of either the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons or the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons. Visit www.baaps.org.uk and www.bapras.org.uk. Remember plastic surgery can be a major operation and therefore, should not be jumped into, a good surgery will consult with you honestly and not sell something to you that you don’t need.

I was pleased to learn that since the release of the animated hit film Ratatouille - furry rats have been flying off the shelves and become high on the list of kids favourite cuddly toy. The film’s unlikely heroin, a white rat, with friendly big eyes does seem a cute thing to own …. hey parents let’s hope they don’t find a real one in the back garden to bring home! Did you know that rats are always only a foot away from most homes!

Hey my husband Andrew will be pleased I will now be able to buy ‘heavy metal’ attire at hugely inflated prices now that it’s gone couture this season. No more purchases from outdoor stalls in Camden market. I can satisfy my urge for designer gear and still satisfy my husband’s penchant for medieval chic.

Now I’m not sure if I really believe in ghosts however, I do find the whole subject fascinating. It seems that there is a new guide out that gives the top ten most haunted National Trust Buildings across Britain. Now of course this could just be a very good marketing ploy, but being National Trust buildings they are not only beautiful but, the ghosts all seem to have quite magnificent historical value. Actually I would like to go and stay in a so-called haunted house to see for myself if there is anything spiritual floating about. It may simply be, old buildings that creak with mildew and damp create a spooky atmosphere and excite our imaginations … who knows unless you take the plunge and check it out for yourself.

Sales Training is beneficial to know whatever you may do. It will help you project your talents in an interview and put your best foot forward. It is particularly useful, if you are self employed or have your own business as learning how to sell your product whatever that may be, means a successful turnover which in turn makes for a healthy pay check. Now not all of us are cut out to be salespeople, I must admit cold calling somebody about my services has never been my strong point but sales and marketing methods do work so why not get some Sales Training and stay ahead of the competition out there.

Pavarotti’s death is becoming worthy of a soap opera. Instead of being remembered right now for his great operatic talent all we hear about is his feuding family.

Reports say Pavorotti left millions - and where there is money it seems there is always trouble. It is generally bad enough if you leave just one wife and siblings .. but two wives with siblings will always be bad news.

Now the first wife who he was married to for over 30 years will always feel like she deserves the most … as will his daughters.

Therefore, it is no surprise that his daughters from his first wife are waging war against his second younger wife for their inheritance (whatever that turns out to be amongst rumours of hospital debts). It seems to me that the big winners in this feud will be the ‘lawyers’ themselves fighting for each side as this will surely not be cheap and stretch out for years as it appears that there are at least 3 recent wills all saying different things.

It seems that sparked by the Mental Capacity Act earlier this month which introduced the concept of the ‘Living Will’ where patients can choose not to be resuscitated if they are seriously ill or elect a person to make that decision for them if they are unable to due to illness. The NHS has elected that ‘Senior Nurses’ can now choose not to resuscitate a patient. Previously it was only a GP or consultant who could make this ‘life or death’ decision.

It seems to me that this is another reason why you would not want to be left at the hands of the NHS especially if you are an elderly patient. Having suffered at the hands of nurses when I had my broken ankle, I would not want or trust any one of those nurses (even the supposedly senior ones) to make a decision like that for either me or any of my family.

I don’t know about you but my printer always seems to run out of ink just when I’m printing out something really important. Nines times out of ten, you look outside and it’s raining and it’s just gone 6 o’clock and the shop is shut anyway. Hey you don’t have to go anywhere because if your printer runs out of ink just check out Cartridge Finder which has in the region of 10,000 different ink cartridges for you to choose from. Not only that but it has a way of finding the most competitive prices too. Hassle free low cost ink cartridges - what more could you want.
