Labrinth and Angelos Epithemiou = sameWed 12 Oct 2011 at 11:57

Before delivering the score, anorak wearing Angelos Epithemiou gets down and dirty with an awesome piece of music which has become his theme.

It's kind of similar though Labrinth and Tinie Tempah's new song, 'Earthquake'.  Don't you think?

Have a listen... same.

Christmas hampers the perfect giftsMon 29 Aug 2011 at 15:25

Every year, in the week or two leading up to Christmas, people start feeling busy and stressed, and wish that they had prepared in advance. Yet every year people seem to repeat the mistake of procrastination, and end up in the same situation as always. Part of this is because taking care of the “work” side of Christmas, such as shopping for gifts, is not always an appealing prospect. This is why it might be a good idea to look into ready-made options such as Marks & Spencer Christmas hampers.

You have probably had the experience of heading to a local shopping mall or cluster of stores and looking around for hours trying to find the right gifts for your friends and loved ones. Of course, certain people are easier to buy for than others, but it is often quite difficult to find satisfactory gifts for everyone on your list come Christmas time. Part of the appeal of a Christmas hamper is that, while it is a single gift, it includes a variety of items… whether you give someone a basket of treats, or wines, or cheeses, etc, you will really be giving them a variety of different gifts. In this situation, it is easier for you to feel confident that your gift will be both appreciated and enjoyed.

Another extremely appealing aspect of a Christmas Hamper is its convenience. Whether you typically shop in stores or online, you have to go through the selection process, and sometimes some trial and error. With Christmas hampers, however, you can very clearly see exactly what you are getting, and you can make a simple decision and either order or pick up your baskets… essentially, you are purchasing a ready-made gift that you can present as is to whomever you wish.

Of course, this is not to say that Christmas hampers are generic or impersonal. Some may see these gifts as almost too easy, or as uncreative. However, when you look at the wide variety of different types of hampers that are available, you will realize that you are still making a choice based upon whom you are giving a hamper to. Generally, these gift baskets can include anything from cookies to alcoholic beverages, and even small books and trinkets. Thanks to this variety, you can actually get the bulk of your shopping done this year simply by delivering different hampers to all of your friends and loved ones!

What I've achieved in a yearFri 27 May 2011 at 13:05

I now haven't eaten fast food (AKA McDonalds, Burger King or KFC) in a year, most of my meals are healthy and I drink less.  I still pig out sociially at meals out with friends and binge drink with workmates, you can't punish yourself too much.

So, at this rate of progress, I've calculated that I'll be 2 and half stone in weight by the time I'm 35... or I could just stick where I am now.  I don't want to go under the yellow line, which is 10 stone.
