A Coffee Personality Contest

I was looking through the Internet Archive Wayback Machine and found the following article which had been placed on an article submission site that I used to run back in 2009. I found this personality test amusing and thought my readers on here might too.

What Your Spontaneous Reactions Can Say About Your True Character

One morning you are running late to work and decide to drive-thru your local Coffee Hut to get your morning caffeine fix. Traffic is so bad, however, that you don’t even get a chance to drink it until you get to your office. As you finally settle into your desk and take the first sip of your beloved Vanilla Latte, you suddenly realize that they must have mixed up your order and given you something that tastes vaguely like hot pumpkin pie.

What do you do?

Top 10 Electronic Toys For Christmas 2016

Electronic toys are very popular with children of all ages, the variety is quite astounding. I’ve researched the best seller lists and surveyed children of friends and in my family and put together a list of the top 10 electronic toys that I think will be opened and played with on Christmas day 2016:
Teksta Voice Recognition Puppy Electronic Pet

This best selling electronic toy is a little cutie even if it’s a robotic puppy. The Teksta puppy is interactive and recognises voice commands. It walks, talks. barks and does back flips. He’s sensitive enough to pant when petted and can even react to hand gestures.

This electronic pet plays with his ball and munches on his bone, both included. He can be programmed to do more tricks with an Android tablet of Apple Ipad, over 100! The Teksta Voice Recognition Puppy Electronic Pet is one of a range of electronic pets for children over 5. A great toy at a reasonable price.

Absurd Politics with Blair, Branson and Farron

Politics in 2016 has been quite a humdinger and it doesn't look as if things are going to settle down for some time yet. Of course in the UK Britain leaving the EU or Brexit is the culprit, but not before time.Five months on we are still hearing the howls of protest from the remainers, it's getting very tiresome.

I asked myself if I would have protested as much if the vote had been to remain. read more.... Absurd Politics with Blair, Branson and Farron | Britster

Floods, Power Cuts and Image Making

Click on me for details of some great party games for kids and adults

Yesterday was quite a day. I designed the image on the left, we had a power cut and it rained so much that there were floods in the area and some of the roads were blocked. Even the road to the hospital was blocked still today, which is worrisome. Airedale hospital was opened in July 1970. I can vaguely remember before the building started in 1966 that the land that the hospital was built on flooded in winter. I was only a child then but I have this picture in my head of flooded fields.

Airedale hospital is about 4 miles outside the town centre and when it opened it replaced 2 hospitals in the town. With the road flooding it makes me wonder if it would have been safer to build it in Keighley, but I guess that would have been well researched in the planning.   read more....

A New HD Television – But You Can’t Cook On It

I passed my seventh year of stopping smoking last month and as my bank account has grown nicely I decided to treat myself to some new electrical items. I had a bit of a list for different reasons.

Alarm Clock

My old digital one still works but I am fed up with it. If I just happen to press the wrong button by mistake when I’m setting it the alarm could go off 2 days late or at 5.00 pm instead of 5.00 am. I can’t figure out how to get it back to the right mode without the instructions which I seem to have lost. I decided that this alarm clock is too clever for it’s own good and that I wanted a simple, straightforward one.

Little Tikes Classic Cozy Coupe Ride-on

I can remember getting a Cozy Coupe for my nephew when he was 1 year old. Initially he just clung on to it as he pushed it around, but it wasn’t long before he was sitting in the driving seat and pretending to drive a car like his dad. The ride on toy was passed on to his younger brother who also enjoyed playing with it tremendously. That must have been one of the original models because this one is the 30th anniversary models with a new design.

Why You Should Opt For A Wooden Dollshouse – Top Toy Site

As children, we often pretended to build imaginary houses. This is a way in which children express their imagination and creativity and it is crucial in determining their perception of love, home and family. When you give your child a wooden dolls house you are also giving that child a tool to aid imagination and creativity. Wooden doll houses have a long history. They appeared about 400 years ago and developed from Victorian mansion miniatures into modern child sized houses equipped with all sorts of furnishings and accessories.

Waiting For A Train With Electronic Cigarettes | Britster

I first heard of electronic cigarettes through reading an article on the Internet, got curious and ordered a starter kit. I took to them straight away and swapped my very bad habit for the healthier option.
Apart from safer and cheaper smoking they are fun. They are still quite rarely seen and create a lot of interest from those who have never seen or heard of them before.
The day that I was waiting for a train was a prime example of the interest my ecig created in those around me and this is my story.

Transformers Dark of the Moon Mechtech Voyager Optimus Prime – Top Toy Site

The Transformers Dark Of The Moon Film was one of the most popular films in 2011, so popular that the toys were in huge demand. My 5 year old nephew who loved the film reliably informed me that Optimus Prime from MechTech was the top most wanted or played with toy amongst him and his pals.

They loved playing with it because the Transformers Dark of the Moon Mechtech Voyager Optimus Prime action figure can be transformed into a vehicle and then back to a robot really easily. But then Optimus Prime wouldn’t be much of a transformer if they couldn’t do that. This transformer version was voted the top toy figure because it is the most realistic version that is VERY close to the movie version of Optimus Prime.

Great Britain: Do Women Wear The Trousers? | Britster

I must have seen hundreds of women of all ages going about their business on my way to the swimming pool 2 miles and 2 bus journeys from my home and a walk through the shopping centre. Not one of those women was wearing a skirt or a dress. So what you might ask, but the reason why I thought more about the skirtless society is because this is modern day Britain.
