I have been learning spanish for some months now, and have been on a bit of a roller coaster ride with it all to be honest. At first i was so enthusiastic, i felt like i was learning so much, so quickly and that I’d be speaking with a good level of Spanish in no time at all. However, recently things seem to have slowed down a bit. My rate of progress has decreased significantly. Firstly, my accent is causing me some problems. I can’t decide if it is because my ears have become more tuned-in to Spanish, or if it’s because I’m getting in to bad habits, but I’m convinced my accent is getting worse. It’s not just a case of translating word-for-word from English, but rather being able to mould ideas using whatever language you are speaking in.
To help, i have started playing the Spanish lottery which they play regularly. I can’t decide if I am really watching to improve my Spanish, or if I’m just doing it because the female presenter of the show is incredibly beautiful. Either way, if i win, it’ll be great!
As the manager of a football team, i have a lot of problems to worry about. Firstly, i have to ensure that my players are playing at the the highest level possible. I also make tactical decisions relating to the team, and also the direction of the club. Keeping my players fit and happy at all times is paramount. I recently upgraded the clubs water dispensers. Previously, we provided tap water out of water fountains, but now we have an amazing BIBO water dispenser.
It is brilliant, because the taste is far superior to that of ordinary tap water. The purified water issued by BIBO water coolers are perfect for our club. It provides us with great tasting water, at a very low price, and it offers instantly cooled water which is refreshing for the team after they finish a heavy training session. I can’t recommend it enough!
There has been much hype and anticipation about the rollout of new fourth generation (4G) GSM networks across the globe. These networks are a particularly advanced form of wireless technology that will enable users to send and receive more data with their 4G mobile handsets than they can with the ageing 2G and 3G networks. This will allow quicker streaming of higher quality media, and even faster communication with the world than we have witnessed until now. This is undoubtedly one of the major breakthroughs in technology that will become widespread over the next decade.
However, there is one problem; when people are asked what they would most improve about their mobile data services (mobile phones, palmtops and tablets) they overwhelmingly highlight increased battery life as their biggest priority. The problem is that 4G networks won’t improve devices’ battery lives; it may even make them worse!
I don't care how unromantic you or your partner may be, how many years, months, days, whatever you've been together, your yearly anniversary is an important milestone and should celebrated with every passing year.
Whether you've been together for one, seven or twenty-seven years, each year is another sign of your strength and unity, meant to be celebrated.
Make a romantic date, go for dinner, stay in for dinner, go out dancing, do something that you will both enjoy, however traditional or quirky and unusual it may be. Go sky diving if that's your thing, just do it together and feel the love.
And never underestimate the power of a little gift. It doesn't have to be diamonds and Aston Martins or anything that silly, but take the time to think of something meaningful and romantic. Something for them. Not a new Leatherman TTi because he needs it for work, or a new laptop case because you spilled coffee on hers.
Think romance!

Think candlelight, think log fires. Nothing gets you more in the mood for a bit of romance than lighting. Moon light, sunsets, that hazy early morning glow when you wake up next to someone you love.
Now contrast that with a halogen bulb. The image doesnt quite fit does it? Picture the scene. You've been out on a lovely date, perhaps the cinema. He walks you home, you invite him in for a coffee. You stroll through the darkened hallway to the kitchen, you grasp for the light cord, tug it and PUMPHHHHH! The flight flashes on like a blinding camera flash in your face, illuminating every bit of dust and dirt in the room, every tiny wrinkle you've been trying hide. What do you do now?
Ok stop stop, perhaps this is a little over the top. But there is a better way to light your home. Why not try GU 10 50wat LED bulbs to light your home instead. They have a charming sophisticated glow, come in a variety of mood setting colours and are much more energy efficient than your average bulb. It's worth thinking about.
