Not just another pub quiz name

“If you have a problem, if no one else can help…maybe you can hire…The A Team.”  Although not sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit and then escaping to become soldiers of fortune, Hanson Search’s very own administration team have long taken the A Team values to heart by [...]

Yes, it comes around quick,  it is that time of the year again when it seems that everyone knows someone who is getting married in the upcoming month.  I was recently involved in a wedding as a bridesmaid – which of course is a great honour and I accepted eagerly when the bride to be [...]

Snake bursts after gobbling gater

Look at this!! Still the most unsettling animal picture I’ve seen in a long time…   This is what I think happened… the alligator took on the snake (a Burmese python, released into the wild in Florida after it got too big to look after). The snake seemed to have won after swallowing him whole. [...]

A girl’s best friend…..

Carrie Bradshaw has it all wrong. Shoes aren’t a girl’s best friend. Because nothing – no, not even your favourite pair of Manolos (sorry SJP) – can hide a multitude of sins like a great set of sunnies. No time for makeup? No problem. Want to hide those bags from last night’s work drinks? Done.

They have no voice boxes and can only make an ‘air through throat’ sound. 2) Pandas are vegetarian by choice [...]

Bigger head, bigger brain, but not more intelligent

New research has made a discovery that will have women the world over feeling slightly smug, and rightly so. According to a study carried out by the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, bigger heads do not equal bigger brains.   For decades men have gloated over their evolutionarily larger bodies and believed that they are more [...]
