Blogging

I do like it when a retail website gives you more than just products. The Ballet Shop? has just added a blog and they are using it to speak about Ballet, Dance and the world of Dance besides their products. It also means you can give your feedback publicly via comments. Perhaps more shops should consider adding a blog.

Not a bad idea at all.

The 3 R’s

Posted by grumbler on January 13th, 2008 — Posted in Political Correctness, The World Today, blog

I must say it is quite unusual to find a shop that so strongly believes in the 3 R’s. In case you are wondering what the 3 R’s are, they are - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Personally I am a strong believer in the 3 R’s. I feel we waste too much generally speaking. I mean, I must admit that I am one of the first to buy rather than fix. You see I do feel that when fixing something costs almost as much as a new one, I would rather go with a new one where I know it will be under guarantee and is unlikely to break down in the near future. Besides the cost often justifies buying the new product rather than fix. This does not mean that I do not still try to follow the 3 R rule. I do recycle all my unwanted paper and glass, I try to reuse my plastic bags, I try to buy lose fruit and vegetables rather than heavily packaged and where I can fix at a reasonable cost, well obviously, I fix. Anyway, it is nice to know that there are shops who also try to follow the 3R rule. Makes me feel that little bit better.

Out of Place

Posted by grumbler on October 11th, 2007 — Posted in blog

My previous post is stretched a bit out of place. I should try to get it sorted. If anyone has any difficulties do let me know, as I think I may leave it low on my list of priorities! Sorry about that!

Blogging

Talking about taking? mobile marketing to extremes. Apparently through the use of sms marketing, one can post blog messages up on the website via sms messages.

I think I might actually consider it. Everytime I get a gripe or feel like grumbling about customer service or rather lack of, I can instantly post it to Carper Diem and let the world know what I think of x y z! The best bit is that I get to blow off steam there and then and I can get to back to my drones of every day life!

Not a bad idea if I do say so myself!

Stress

Posted by grumbler on August 31st, 2007 — Posted in blog

Sometimes stress really gets to me. I need something to pummel. I find stressballs a really great stress reliever. It is a good thing that I found a place that gives them away free because I go through them like fire.

Forums

Posted by grumbler on July 22nd, 2007 — Posted in PPP, Politics, blog

RevLeft.com leftist discussion forums? are simply that - forums where socialists are welcome to discuss anything. Considering that socialism is meant to be about equality, how can they justify needing forums for discussion. If everyone were equal and thought equally, would that not eliminate the need for discussion?

To quote The life of Brian… “We are all individuals!”

Altogether now…. “We are all individuals!”

Madeleine has been sighted in Malta. Let us hope that this is true because it means that she is still alive. Let us hope that it is not false hope.
