Go South young Man !

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Never mind go west, The place to travel to is Australia according to the results of a new cenus the figures show that Australia is suffering from the lack of men. The man drought is revealed with the statistics showing there are almost 100,000 more females than males in Australia.

The place to go to is the coastal cities as the imbalance is worse as women have moved to the cities seeking better jobs and life styles so you don’t even have to travel to the outback !

The good news is, don’t matter how many you rate you can never get the names mixed up as there all called Shelia. The bad news is the beers crap.

But on balance you can get used to the beer.

A sample of the terms are listed 
Shelia = female 
A dog = a women who is not called Shelia  
Cook = the wife   
Cobber = a friend
Before you travel you would need to learn the lingo  A handy translation, must visit site is http://www.australianexplorer.com/slang/people.htm

Winter hits early, time to wrap up

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

Winter hit early yesterday as heavy snow hit many parts of the country. We left the office in the dark with heavy snow fall, all rather nice if it had been 24th of December.
Today a winter chill hit both Ross and Brand as the BBC suspended them both. Time does heel I remember when Kenny Everett was fired from the Beeb and just a few years later was back as large as ever.

In the short term they will have to take the flack which they no doubt deserve. It will be interesting to see what happens further up the tree at the BBC and I wait to hear about the people who gave the broadcast their blessing. Will their heads roll ?

The beeb may have told Jonathan Ross to wrap up but the rest of us need to buy fleeces to keep warm. Yep you’ve got it Acorn can supply personalised warm winter clothing. Give us a call for a quote.

A step to far for Ross

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008

Ross and Brand phoned the 78 year old actor claiming that Brand had slept with Mr Sachs’ 23-year-old granddaughter, Georgina Bailli and joked that the actor might kill himself upon hearing the news. Mr Sachs was left “upset” by the calls  after the October 18 broadcast.

Can you really believe that Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand are really so stupid to phone a 78 year old man with such a prank. The hoax has sparked a call for BBC to open an inquiry. The call could cost Ross his £18 million contract. Lets hope the BBC do open an inquiry.

They have behaved like a pair of Bankers !

Be careful what you wear out there

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Over the years there’s been some pretty insane things printed on t shirts but in today’s security conscious world it would appear if your flying or just walking along the street your t shirt can offend and get you into some serious trouble.

There have now been several instances where passengers boarding aircraft have been required to change their t shirt before boarding. In the UK a passenger wearing a Transformer tshirt had to do a quick change. In the States t shirts have offended fellow passengers so a change has been enforced. Here in London a man has been shot whilst walking down the street for wearing an Obama T shirt. So when you next put on a T shirt just double check what it has printed across the front.

Remember be careful out there !  be safe, wear an Acorn T shirt.

A story about Cotton

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008
 

A boy in south Wales who has been partially deaf for nine years was suddenly cured when a cotton wool bud popped out of his ear. Jerome, now 11, was suddenly able to hear clearly again as he played with friends. 
Jerome was diagnosed as deaf in his right ear when he was  two years old. He said he heard a popping sound, then found the tip of a cotton wool bud in his ear.

His parents believe he must have put the Cotton bud in his ear as a two year old and the centimetre-long cotton tip must of become detached from the  plastic stick.

I’ve heard of pulling the wool over your eyes but not out of your ears.

India is over the Moon

Brock Fireworks today confirmed it’s biggest ever shippment has been safely delivered to the Indian space research centre.

PM. we will spend our way out of it ?

Monday, October 20th, 2008

 What a great idea, lets borrow some money and get the nation working again, build new roads, houses hospitals. fantastic. !!!!!  Now lets just go back a bit like the last 12 years or so. Is it not the spending and borrowing culture that got us into this mess. If Mr Brown wants to borrow more money , when do we get to pay it back. better still who pays it back, yes you’ve got it the good old tax payer. Have we not sold half of our Gold reserves at the lowest price already. Theres not much family silver left to sell off. I presume Mr Brown is calculating that he won’t be around when payback time comes.

In the mean time our new range of colours in the AWD hoodie is going great guns.

What is climate neutral ?

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Being climate neutral is the balance of the the industrial gases created during the manufacture of goods or products for our consumption.  Some companies can help balance it during manufacture by using sustainable power for example Earth Positive clothing the Eco friendly manufacturer uses power from 30 giant wind turbines.  I know of a holiday tour company that put money aside to plant trees and subscribe to a charity that manages the planting through out the UK.

If you would like to help balance your life, you to can plant a tree. for more information visit http://w.plant-a-tree-today.org/
