The way that we meet potential dating partners has really changed over the last ten years. While many prefer to meet new people out on the streets or in bars and clubs there is a huge market out there that has no interest in meeting up in a late night alcohol fuelled environment.

You have to laugh, don't you?

But, with everybody seemingly having an opinion about everything these days, it seems ... Read more
There used to be a covers band based in London a few years ago called Gabba who featured a hugely tall singer and performed Abba songs in the style of The Ramones - ie fast! I was always convinced that it would turn into a music genre that would take hold. Imagine doing all the Bob Dylan songs in the style of Bob Marley or maybe Kanye West songs in the style of Taylor Swift (can't wait for that one.) Sadly it didn't really take off but the fate of the cover version was taken up by shows like Glee, ... Read more
