I as many others use the internet on a daily basis, but i do think its done a lot of harm in our social skills. This is not to say i dislike the internet as i'd be lost without it and do a lot online, but these are some bad points i think. -Its making us more lazy. I believe its making us in some ways dumber, we use to have to remember information now if we forget some knowledge, all we need to do is go straight onto Google and we have found out the answer, i think our brains are used a lot less than they use to be and there for it has caused us to have more "lazy brains". -Its making us Anti Social. I'd be interested to know how anyone could argue that point, if technology didn't exist how often would you talk to your friends or see them? texting is simple and easy and i feel like so many people would rather have there face glued to there phones or laptop than talk to someone in person anymore. -Its making people less empathetic.

Food & Wine Pairing Tips

Image
Red, white, rosé, champagne, sparkling... There are so many choices, that it’s often difficult to know what to choose to accompany a meal. Here are easy tips to help you for your Christmas dinner, or any other occasion. 1. No sweet wines as an aperitif Wines that are rich in sugar or alcohol will crush the taste buds. They saturate the palate, unlike white wine, champagne and other sparkling wines. 2. White wine or champagne with oysters Pairing white wine or champagne with oysters is one of the most natural and easy-to-make pairing. For a white wine, choose a Chablis or a Muscadet. 3. Rise in boldness during the meal Ideally, start with a white wine as a starter, then continue with a full-bodied red wine to accompany the main course. For dessert, prefer a sweet wine like Sauternes, that is richer in sugars. Adapt this rule according to your guests preferences, and to the dishes served at each moment of the meal. 4. Watch out for spicy dishes pairings If the s

Why do so many guys have problems committing?

Okay before I start and to try and minimise the accusations of sexism, even though, yes I suppose this is slightly sexist, I would just like to state that I know there are plenty of guys who want fulfilling relationships and have no problem committing to one woman. And I know that there are also plenty of females, myself included, who also have commitment issues but in my personal experience you more often than not hear women complaining of men not wanting to commit and men complaining about women who are too smothering. So apart from that the question pretty much speaks for itself, however I don't just mean having problems committing to a relationship, I mean problems also committing to the opposite: a breakup.  I would be the first to admit that I have commitment and intimacy issues. I enjoy casual dating but I never seem to be able to bring myself to take something further.  However I always insure that when I end things with someone it's ended completed. No take backs. No y

Do You Think Davido And Wizkid Will Do A Collaboration In 2018 ?

So we all know the rift that is between Davido and Wizkid when it comes to music, these duo have never been on good terms in the history of entertainment in Nigeria. It is like saying the opposite of Wizkid is Davido and Vice Versa. Towards the end of 2017, Wizkid and Davido has been sweeping entertainment awards like it’s their right, both locally and internationally, that even drew the attention of dignitaries in Nigeria to congratulate these guys, so we can confidently say they are doing well individually. But what baffles me is that these guys behave like “arc enemies” & sometimes these young lads take selfies together, board same flight and share pictures of them all smiling and laughing with each other, or could this be publicity stunt ? Davido even came out recently to make it clear to everyone that he isn’t in any fight with anybody. In his words ‘I no dy fight anybody ooo!’. He said it shortly after claiming the future award for Music 2017. Now if they can be stron

Sean Dyche’s side climb into the Champions League places above Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool – who all play on Wednesday – while Stoke stay in 15th.

Women, sex and power (2)

PRESIDENT Clinton was partly saved by the admitted and open anger of Hillary Clinton. But she forgave him.  Are there two concepts of wrongdoing? In President Clinton’s case, the whole sordid details of his sexual peccadillos are fully reported seriatim in the Special Investigator Robert Stark’s report. For people who want that kind of sexual titillation for powerful men and manipulative women, they should see the Stark report for literal scintillating pornography at that high level in Government.  Former Democratic US Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks to supporters at the New Yorker after her defeat last night to Donald Trump on November 9, 2016 in New York. / AFP PHOTO But President Clinton was exposed, he apologised, was impeached but he was freed.
