Is this legal?!
I'll try to keep this as short as I can I went for a makeover experience around 3 weeks ago and ended up buying some photo's ( I'm too embarrassed to say the actual amount I paid :o ) My sister went for the same experience last night at the same place and ended up buying some photos too but got 10 more than I paid and the…
Is chicken dodgier than other meats?
I would like to gauge other peoples opinion on using chicken than other meat, especially for soups.

The first chicken soup (free range) tasted the better, but the…

Are Shell & BP to blame For Fuel Prices?
It seems to me that the cause of this high fuel price is the 'Big' Shell & BP giants? BP is said to be making 1 mill an hour!! And Shell a similar figure, While we are still having to pay above a pound a litre, And our Airlines are struggling to survive. We lost Zoom, Maxjet, Silverjet, XL, etc all because of some greedy…
