It’s probably right to say that for most people the last year financially have been fairly hard and securing work has been difficult. Personal/Family experience dictates this for me. An interesting article popped up on the Daily Mail website today about how the ‘family’ survived during World War II on the tiny amount of rationing that they where allowed.

Ingenuity is the key to success in this world, perhaps not with a Ten Pound Booking fee. But in terms of someone trying to make a real success of a business this picture shows that despite limited funds towards a proper sign writing job, this Van Hire firm have done frankly really well.

This is Kevin and Julie Fitzpatrick and the phrase ‘hardcore fans’ can be literally applied to them. Hailing from hip and happening Preston in Lancashire, this ordinary couple were brought together 40 years ago by the idol that is Neil Diamond.

Terry Wogan on his Radio 2 show asked his listeners to bid for the ‘prize of a lifetime’ in the form of a ‘Christmas Dinner’ with none other then Neil Diamond at his beach side condo in Malibu. Kevin started the bidding at $5,000 and was quickly pipped so decided to increase his bid until the final amount of $27,000, which secured him and his wife dinner with the world famous star, to help Children in Need.

Julie and Kevin spent the entire sum of their lifelong savings on this dinner.

I don’t really want to say anymore on this perhaps stupid thing they have done. If you want to read some more and gloat on perhaps how stupid they have been then visit the original article which is here

Silly, really rather silly.

Spain is one of those places. Picturesque and alluring much like this lovely picture shot on location in Malaga. God knows why the sand is that colour however I expect it has been photoshopped or something. Can someone verify this please.

Most people view Spain as one of those places where you just sit around on the beach by day and get bladdered by night. Its a shame really because actually there is lots to do in Spain, and one should not limit themselves to just the beach and the ’strip’ a common name for a row of bars by a beach.

Personal recommendations I have for Spain are below.

  • Spain has a lot to offer in the mountains. Well, the views are very nice so I hear. Why not rent a car from a Spain Car Hire firm and simply drive until you run out of fuel. (Its probably worth not doing this as it could end badly)
  • Sit by the beach by day and ‘party til you puke’ at night. Hypocritical I know but to hell with it.
  • Go Clubbing for a week in Ibiza. Yes this will be fun

Ok, so there are a few ideas as to what you could do when on holiday in Spain, of course there are lots of other places to have fun such as Malaga and Alicante. But I’m of the opinion that advice number two applies to both.
