    Keep track of your finances in a turbulent world 17 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    So, inflation is up. The retail price index is up. Train fares are going up. Tragically, the price a of beer seems to go up daily too. (Routinely £4 a pint in London these days…)

    Which fruit are you? 12 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    Life is full of choices.

    Tea or coffee? Cats or Dogs? Stay in or go out?

    Words worth reading, delivered daily 10 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    To browse. It means something entirely different than from say, 15 years ago. Back then, it wasn’t about surfing the worldwide whatchamacallit. It was almost exclusively heard in only one context:

    “Can I help you sir?”

    Simply saying it with words isn't as straightforward as it used to be 9 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    The myriad ways we communicate with each other these days means that we’ve pretty must lost all control of standards. If you use email, text, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, BBM, Google+ and (heaven forbid) the good old-fashioned phone, it’s...

    Spotify playlists with built-in quality control 5 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    You know you’ve made it as a brand when other people start cashing in on variations of your name. Don’t get me wrong, derivation is a good thing, so I’m not knocking pitchify.com one bit. But it has to be more than a little heartwarming...

    Fly the flag and get the best of the Beeb 4 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    Once upon a time there were many, many things that us Brits did that were the envy of the civilized world. Shipbuilding, for instance. Even our cars were once the models the most style conscious wanted to be seen in.

    Gossip still sells, so get the good stuff 3 August 2011 11:45 GMT

    The printed T-shirt is back with a vengeance 1 August 2011 1:00 GMT

    Lots of things from the eighties have made an unwelcome return lately. Leg warmers, deely boppers, Rick Astley, and the economy heading for the toilet faster than last night’s chicken vindaloo.

    As the boy turns into the man, there are usually a few good pieces of advice that he will be given, sometimes by a parent, sometimes by somebody else he admires or trusts.

    Life underground isn't all doom and gloom 19 July 2011 1:00 GMT

    The London Underground is known for many things: crappy service, decrepit trains, stale air, anti socialism, litter, moronic behaviour and random acts of violence. There's not much doubt that, given an alternative, the millions of people...
