Persian Classic!

I remember hearing about the boy up the street who was getting a

Fortunately we had Prince of Persia to make it all better and our trusty Master System to play it on. Who needed a Mega Drive when you could be a Prince and dash about eerie palaces and dungeons to the beat of an eerie regal sound-track? We didn’t!

Prince of Persia was the same as every other platform game out, so there’s no reason for it to stick in my mind, and yet it does. What I remember the most is actually being scared when I played the game–my heart racing as I sought to find the exit or solve the next piece of the puzzle. Which is all very odd because I’ve never been a fan of Prince’s in general; apart from the musician, that is. But that goes without saying.

Another thing I used to do is dress up as the Prince, with my plastic sword by my side. Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I get the old garb out of the attic and still do it…

Alright everyone: I have significant news about the riding holiday, it emerged that there is something about horse liability that we need to look into. I know nothing about this, so Cheryl if you could do this it would be lovely.

Forza Motorsport 3

Do you hate driving games and think they get much more credit than they really deserve? I do. I know that’s not something a man should really be admitting to, but I feel like it’s an important point. I’ve just never really got on with them and I can’t really tell you why that is. I suppose I just always found them a bit boring. The attraction was lost on me.

Until my brother managed to convince me that Forza Motorsport 3 was actually really good. I didn’t believe him, of course—why would I? There was no reason I should since I was such an expert on hating driving games! For about ten minutes I was convinced it was the same old boring driving about macho look-at-me thing. And then I started getting in to it. I was soon hooked!

OK, I’d be a massive liar if I told you this game wasn’t pretty similar to other driving games. Of course it is. How different can you make a driving game and still keep it within the realm of driving games? Well, Forza is a bit different. It has cool features such as this: 1) you can take your car around the world’s most infamous racing circuits and 2) you can also drive your car the wrong way around them and smash in to all the other cars. That’s the bit I enjoy. I sit there while my brother goes racing around the track, and then I accelerate full force in to him, giving me immense joy and making him very angry!

One last thing, I need to congratulate myself. I have just bought the most delightful brooks running shoes that I have ever owned. London Marathon, here I come!

Surviving

British hit show Keeping Up Appearances: that’s the subject of discussion here. Click on the link and vent your feelings!

Another very good question you must have asked yourself if you’ve seen this show: could you survive in Richard’s shoes?

It’s an interesting point, why do we like to watch poor Richard’s misfortune when we wouldn’t last five minutes in his shoes? And do we shout at him to leave that house, or do we beg him to stay for another few series? If you answered with the word ‘leave’ then are you really being honest abiout how much you adore this show?

I suppose for a certain faction of the strange-holded, under-the-thumb husband generation, Richard is the punch-bag who makes the journey somehow more bearable. For everyone else it’s just good to see what trouble he’ll get into next, and how his (demented) wife will react.

So why is it that we love to watch people have such horrible life experiences? My guess would be that it makes us, subconsciously, think how lucky we are. After we’ve finished viewing it we go back to our lives—whether we are husbands or wives or not—and count ourselves as blessed with happiness.

And there’s another thing; something I only just recently learned. A friend of mine who is newly married told me that actually, Keeping Up Appearances is a crucial visual training manual for what not to do when you get married—I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before; I mean, being a husband has pretty much always entailed the same kinds of thing, has it not? I’ll definitely be keeping a few copies of this show on me at all times, just in case I need to learn his lessons.

The Apple iPad: A Quick Review

After a long wait, Apple’s version of the tablet PC has finally arrived. The iPad as they call it is set to go on sale in April this year. The latest offering from Apple is a cross between a Smartphone and a laptop and takes tablets to new highs.

Main Features

The iPad incorporates a 9.7 inch wide touch screen to give you perfect hands on experience. It also has a high resolution backlit LED screen with a 178 degree viewing angle and good color and contrast to give you a perfect viewing experience every time. The large touch screen surface makes it easier to select whatever you want and the touch response has also been rejuvenated

The iPad is portable, just like any other tablet PC. Weighing just 1.5 pounds and half an inch in thickness, it is extremely handy to carry anywhere. Its ten hour battery life and built in 802.11n wireless network or the optional 3G capabilities make it the perfect gadget for those on the move.

Built into it is an A4 chip which is designed specifically for the iPad, giving it increased performance. It does not have a USB port, but it does have a 30 pin dock connector and built in speakers.

Applications?

Over 140,000 applications from the application store are compatible with the iPad. It also contains popular apps such as Safari and Video.

Music and more

The iPad lets you organize and take your music anywhere, all you have to do is touch the screen, and your favorite songs will play. Buying music and videos from the iTunes store is also easy with your iPad.

The downside?

There is no camera or wireless sync, making it a bit dull. It also lacks multitasking abilities; maybe Apple will feature it in an update sometime soon.

Final thing, I have just looked at the design for this hr management software website and I must admit in my web designer opinion it is incredably eye-catching. I was having a laborious time actually finding any particulars about the company or services however, which made me reflect upon what is more important, general appeal or working order? Why is it that most sites aren�t actually able to do both?
