Dark Rock Diaries (Free subscription) | 09/10/2009

After two consecutive Saturday’s visiting grounds in Scotland - Dalbeattie Star and Wigtown & Bladnoch respectively - by complete contrast it’s a trip to Merseyside for me tomorrow.

Supermarkets get cold feet over fridge doors

The Guardian (Free subscription) | 01/10/2009

What's the biggest and easiest thing that supermarkets could do to cut their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint? They all know the answer. Put doors on their fridges.

Chris Paul: Labour of Love (Free subscription) | 23/09/2009

I have never studied 20th century history (although have studied from 950AD to 1851AD at various times through my educational career) so I did not really know anything about the outbreak of WWII. I learnt on Monday that it began with the Germans...

There are many landlords who were tempted buy the projected profits of buying off-plan property investments during the 'boom years'. Either as a way of making a quick buck by 'flipping' the property on following practical completion or as a discounted long term property investment to hold.
