Well the good news is that if your splinter has decided to stick around for that long, and has not caused you discomfort or pain, it is likely that it has surpassed the risk of getting infected. The bad news is that they generally become more difficult to remove with time.
My terrifying experience of a … Read more
I always eat the crusts. And then I eat everyone else's.
In fact, next time, I'm going to start eating my slice from the crust inwards.
Contrary to popular belief, waving your arms around can help, it doesn't (as old wives' tales would have you believe) make them any more annoyed. Wasps (at this time of the year) are attracted to sweet things and things that smell sweet. (They can smell "suitable to eat" fruit from 50 yards away). Avoiding such … Read more
Yes they can, but it's a little more complicated then that.
Firstly, the main reason a "web-spinner" doesn't get caught in his own web is because spiders use tiny curved claws to make contact with the web itself.
The more familiar they are with the type/layout of another spider's web - they … Read more
Thanks Kass, very interesting... Although you could have scared me the photos - UGH.
There's nothing worse than making the commitment to ordering a takeaway, enduring the long wait for it to be delivered, only to then be disappointed by the end result.
We ordered a pizza from Dellacasa in Norwich one time - and I don't know if they had run out of dough or if it was simply … Read more
Well, Edgware Road (near Marble Arch) is Arab central - so you're likely to find a jeweller or antique dealer in that area who'll be willing to give you advice at the very least.
Alternatively, the Angel area of Islington has a really cool antiques market on Camden Passage. There are lots of quirky … Read more
The ongoing breach of human rights in Syria and the apparent lack of interest/compassion shown by the rest of the world.
Riots are pretty violent and, I'm really not one for violence, but it angers me beyond the point of reason.
I've never been one for long term plans...
I spent a lot of my childhood dreaming of having a job, any job, just so I could afford to by sweets whenever I wanted.
As an adult, my plan is to be an accountant. I have been working towards this qualification for the last two years, … Read more
As someone who works in the Emergency Department, I can say without a doubt that TV/Movies always try to sensationalize our jobs, but fail to show how stressful our jobs really are, or how much responsibility we have.
In a nutshell, becoming a doctor is grueling, and being a doctor (especially an ER doctor) isn't the … Read more

I really like Blackheath, which you can access easily from central London, either via the Jubilee line at North Greenwich, or overground. (My best friend lives there, so I know it quite well, and like it more each time I visit.)
Blackheath village is like a bustling small town … Read more
