Is Samantha Brick taking the mick…?

Posted by Wendy on April 4, 2012 1 comment

“Why do women hate me for being beautiful?”…asks writer Samantha Brick who then was interestingly astonished at the incredulous responses to her question – she follows this with…“my detractors have simply proved my point. Their level of anger only underlines that no one in this world is more reviled than a pretty woman”.

Self-proclaimed stunner: Samantha Brick

I am not going to pass comment on her looks – she is enarmoured with them enough herself obviously which is fine – self-love is better than self-loathing. This lady though needs to learn that what makes women ‘hate her’ – allegedly – is very possibly her high level of conceit, her disparaging remarks about other women who, in her opinion, do not measure up to her self-professed standard of beauty and – most of all – her  arrogance. We women have a great capacity for admiring and appreciating beauty in other women – we do not, however admire the old green-eye-monster excuse being employed every time your views are not shared by the sisterhood.

Frankly, my dear – you are up yourself. Nobody likes a poser, nobody likes a person who blows their own trumpet and then moans when others complain about the noise. Tone it down, keep your opinion of your ‘beauty’ to yourself and make friends using your personality, be kind; that is one aspect of yourself that really needs a makeover.

You have done yourself no favours – and your looks wont get you out of the deep hole you have dug…maybe some modesty in the future will though.

Why is it so difficult to get a short domain name…?

Posted by Wendy on January 24, 2011 No comments

If you don’t like saying words like ‘supercalifragilisticexpialdocious’ – unlike Julie Andrews – then if you are tossing around for a name for your domain for either business or personal use you will have discovered that finding one with only a few letters is almost impossible. The trend for very long urls is well on it’s way out, they are pain to type into browsers, and they are difficult to remember. Most people now, when doing a domain name search, are looking something short. I have seen some urls which are frightening, such as the B&B in Ireland whose entire name, including four words, made up the domain and it was in Irish!

The shortest you can hope for now begins at three letters minimum – you cannot get a two-lettered one – but you have to be very decisive about what you want, and make sure that nobody else has thought of it first. If you can get a domain with one or two words then go for it.

Let’s make a better year of 2011.

Posted by Wendy on December 31, 2010 No comments

So where did 2010 go? for me it seemed to race by and even if you don’t agree with that then you would have to agree that 2010 was a mish-mash of the good, the bad and the downright ugly, but mostly people seem to concur that it was not the best of years in general. Volcanoes erupting, earthquakes, floods, strikes, disputes – given that we really couldn’t do anything about them happening makes it all seem that much more dreary and a year we would all rather forget.

As we go into 2011 in a few short hours time I hope you will join with me in hoping that the next 12 months will be a hell of a lot better for the human race and this over-burdened planet of ours. If we all just take the time and make the effort to see that the space we occupy on earth is nicer, cleaner and more positive for those around us then at least we can say at the close of 2011 that we gave it our best shot. I would like to hear less, a lot less, about man’s inhumanity to man and in saying that I mean that I want to see less of it happening. I want to see our most vulnerable children in society get a fairer deal from those charged with looking out for them and I want parents everywhere to realise just how precious their children are and make every moment of their childhood matter in the best possible way. I have always said that when you get older you can in some ways recapture your own youth – but you can never, ever recapture your children’s youth…once that’s gone  it’s gone – know what I mean?

I hope that if there is a higher power watching over us all that ‘it’ gives us all a smoother ride throughout 2011 and that we all recognise more the importance of watching out and caring for those around us, in that regard we can make life nicer for everyone else and it doesn’t do us any harm either. Drive that little bit slower, take one less glass of booze, smoke one less fag, read that bedtime story to your kids that you’ve been meaning to do for ages now – it’s the little things we do that can make such a difference to life in general.

Happy New Year ;)
