A love/hate relationship with Friday Twiz





So which camp are you in?  
All you regular players with your sarcasm and wit... you're giving the FridayTwiz a bad rep!  
Or are you?

question friday twizFor those of you who don't already know, the FridayTwiz is my baby.  Spawned from a random boring Friday night on Twitter where I started tweeting general knowledge questions that I had found on a word document on my computer, this 'bit of a giggle between slightly tipsy internet friends' grew into the phenomenon that it is now.  You might even say "innovative"? *cough*quick plug - you have until 9pm tonight to vote*cough*  I love how popular it as become but it is my mistress.

I enjoy researching the questions for each week, trying to come up with new and interesting themes and I panic ever so slightly when a guest host takes over for the night (to give me a break) - much in the same vein as a nervous parent leaving her off-spring for the first or second time with a babysitter.  I am a slave to the account.

The Twitterers who play FridayTwiz grow weekly but there is definitely a bit banter with each other.  Plus those who dare to challenge Twiz Master decisions and others who bemoan the way in which Twitter and its many applications favour some players, but it really all is a bit of fun with many Twitter circles crossing and new contacts made.  Just what Twitter should be about really.

But, dear friends, it appears that we have to be careful with how we use our hashtags because the internet doesn't lie, does it?  Love or Hate?  Which will it be?

PS.  If you fancy joining in tonight, follow @FridayTwiz, have a read of the rules and come and join us at 9.30pm.

26 Bands From The 80's : Where Are They Now?

The other day, whilst out with my husband , I was listening to some UB40 in the car and wondered what they were up to now.  Then I saw this post from Buzzfeed and realised I totally needed to steal that idea.   BUT the problem with doing a "Where Are They Now" of the 80s is that they are either dead, accountants (dead accountants?) or in their mid 50's and, having realised they have snorted their pension up their nose, are dragging themselves onto the Reunion Tour concert circuit. So here are my chosen few that form my A-Z of 80's 'Where Are They Now?'   Do you fancy adding any of your own? Art Of Noise.   Last seen looking for Peter Gunn and desperately hoping that Tom Jones tells a "I know A rt Of Noise" story about them on The Voice. Billy Idol.   Currently setting off airport alarms all over the world after having a steel rod inserted into his leg following a motorbike accident in 1990.  Practicing Rebel Yell on Guitar Her...

[REVIEW] Canvas print from PrinterPix

Whilst dabbling in a bit of (very) amateur photography I occasionally have a favourite photo printed onto canvas.  It's usually a scenery picture and used to brighten up the walls in the lounge or at a focal point on the stairs.  Most recently I have had two images put through the process by PrinterPix . I sent off an image of my son after his Territorial Army passing out parade in April (proud parent moment) and one of our dog on the beach from a few months ago.  They were returned within a few days and looked even better than I had imagined. Soldier Boy is on a canvas that is 16" x 20" on a standard thickness (2cm) frame.  Michi is on a 12" x 16" canvas which is stretched onto a thickeer (4cm) frame.  Both have been printed using a gloss finish.   All canvases from PrinterPix are hand-stretched, use fade-resistant ink and tension wedges are fitted into the corners of each frame to aid stability. What do you think?  I'm in l...

7 Things To Do In Roda, Corfu

This year, our summer holiday took us to Corfu. We were staying in Roda on the north coast of the island and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful Greek fishing village and has the most chilled and welcoming atmosphere I've ever experienced.  I'd love to share my recommended seven things to do if you visit Roda. Sunset over Roda harbour Swimming With The Fishes The coastline at Roda is completely flat so you can walk out quite a distance and still only be in shallow water.  The beach in the village is very sandy but becomes rocky as you move out of town towards some of the beach front hotels (twenty paces out to sea, it becomes sandy again). The water is generally very calm, beautifully warm and clear enough to see the occasional fish swimming by.   Chill out at the Boathouse As we walked down from our hotel, The Boathouse was one of the first bars we stopped at before continuing into Roda. It is perfectly placed between the rural coastal road that l...
