  • Biographies And Scrapbooking : Our Attempts To Capture The Past - At first glance you may think of biographies and scrapbooking as 2 very different things but as a fan of both I know what drives my passion for both.
  • James Biography and Top 10 Songs - James are probably my favourite of all the Manchester bands that I like (you have to support your own boys and girls). I first started listening to James because my sister P liked them when I was a kid. James are comprised of Tim Booth, Jim Glennie, Larry Gott, Saul Davies, Mark Hunter and Dave Baynton-Power. They formed in 1981 in Whalley Range in Manchester.
  • Book Reviews - Many people of all ages enjoy reading books as a past time, books are one of the most accessible mediums of all and can be read by people anywhere and at anytime.
  • ABBA Biography And Top 10 Songs - I began listening to ABBA when I was about 15 or so and just leaving school because obviously I had heard some of their songs on the radio and TV but somehow I came across an ABBA cassette and played it and then played it over and over.
  • Beach Boys Biography And Top 10 Songs - I don't think I know anybody who doesn't like at least one Beach Boys song, but I like most and have liked them since I was younger. When I was about 10 I used to save my pocket money and buy LP's and one day while I was at the market I came across Pet Sounds and bought it for 50p because I actually thought it was going to be the sounds of various animals, and thought it would be funny to own. When I got home and played it realised that it wasn't what i thought at all, but became an instant fan. After that I saved up again and again and bought more Beach Boys albums.
  • Leadership: Learning From Past Leaders - I enjoy reading biographies. By learning about the lives of leaders I am better able to understand the challenges I face today. History is full of stories about great leaders. What I have found to be most appealing about leaders that I have studied is that they believed in a cause and saw all obstacles as mere inconveniences that would eventually be overcome.
  • The Beatles Biography And Top 10 Songs - Being from Manchester which is quite close to Liverpool there is some local rivalry (especially between Manchester United F.C. and Liverpool F.C.) between the two towns and as such I generally support the Manchester bands first, but I think the whole world likes The Beatles even if they won't admit it. The Beatles are the most successful of any bands, ever. I first started listening to The Beatles on the radio and when I was 8 I got A Hard Days Night as a birthday present (by request).
  • The Carpenters Biography And Top 10 Songs - This is another band I have to thank my sis P for getting me into. When we were little kids my sister used to watch the Karen Carpenter Story over and over when we were on our 6 weeks holiday from school, and I used to pretend I didn't like it for a while because it was "girly" but eventually I gave in and then we used to sing all the songs together when they came on.
  • The Stone Roses Biography And Top 10 Songs - I started listening to The Stone roses while I was still at school, back in the day, when the whole Madchester scene was going on and there were a lot of Manchester Indie bands fighting it out in the clubs. I was too young to go and watch the Stone Roses legally and was actually sneaked into the Hacienda in Manchester to watch them perform. This was one of the first times I was in a room full of people on drugs.

  • Traveling Wilburys Biography And Top 10 Songs - The Traveling Wilburys are not only one of my favourite groups because they made some very good music but also because the group consisted of some of my favourite artists. I started listening to The Traveling Wilburys when I was about 15 when my nanna got me a harmonica because I love the sound it makes and I was into Bob Dylan. The harmonica is one of the instruments I can actually play and I still have the harmonica my nanna gave me to this day and still play it occasionally.
  • Texas Biography And Top 10 Songs - I have liked Texas ever since they released their first single (I Don't Want A Lover) while I was still at school.
  • Enigma Biography And Top 10 Songs - I first started listening to Enigma about the time Return To Innocence was released and was played on the radio a lot. Most people I know don't listen to Enigma because they just don't know about them. Most people think they have never of heard them until you tell them some of their songs.
  • Scooter Biography And Top 10 Songs - Everybody has some bands or artists that they listen to but all their friends, family, people they talk to hate.
  • The Sex Pistols Biography And Top 10 Songs - The Sex Pistols are one of my favourite groups because even though people said that they couldn't play their instruments, I thought they give it a very good go. I first started listening to the Sex Pistols because they annoyed my dad who ONLY listens to country music and won't consider listening to anything else. The more I got moaned at for listening to them the more I actually played them. The Sex Pistols were formed by Malcolm McLaren in 1975 with one intention in mind, which was to make a million pounds. This was actually visualised in the movie "The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle".
  • It's Your Smart Books Stores - Bookstores Brings Together Books And Booklovers Books are said to be our best friends and bookstores are the mediums which brings them close to us. Books have been an integral part of our learning process since ages and almost everyone has got some connections or the other with books. Kids like to read stories, students read through their text books, and many read books as a hobby, everyone in some way or the other read books.
  • Fleetwood Mac Biography And Top 10 Songs - I probably started listening to Fleetwood Mac when I was about 10, 11 or something like that because I remember getting their Greatest Hits album and it had only just been released and at the time I didn't really know who they were but because I always listen to all sorts of music people just used to buy me music instead of toys. When I listened to it I knew most of the tracks and I now think of it as one of my top 20 albums of all time. Fleetwood Mac are an English/American cross breed who formed in 1967 in London.
  • Squeeze Biography And Top 10 Songs - I started listening to Squeeze when I was about 7 or 8 because I remember buying Take Me I'm Yours at a flea market (I used to go to look for old original records) for about 25p on cassette single, and I remember buying it just because I liked the cover art.
  • Pet Shop Boys Biography And Top 10 Songs - When I was a kid I had heard the Pet Shop Boys on the radio whenever new singles had been released but it wasn't until I was about 14 or 15 when I started to take more of an interest in their music. This was because I had never taken the time to listen to more than one song at a time.
  • Blur Biography And Top 10 Songs - I have liked Blur since before they became popular after the release of their Parklife album which most people think was their first. Back in the day there was a big band battle between Blur and Oasis and most people chose one or the other but I chose both. Both bands have different styles and I think Blur made some good music. Blur were an English rock band and formed in Colchester in 1989 and consisted of Damon Albarn, Alex James, Dave Rowntree and Graham Coxon. Blur were originally called Seymour but their manager at the time didn't like the name and drew up a list and Blur was the name they finally chose.
  • The Smiths Biography And Top 10 Songs - The Smiths are another of my favourite Manchester bands and as I have said before, you have to support your own. I think I initially started listening to The Smiths when What Difference Does It Make came out in 1983 and I thought Morrissey had one of the most interesting voices and lyrical styles which were not the usual sort popular at the time. Some people think that The Smiths were a depressing band with very boring lyrics but I think I connected with them because of that. I like to be unique and different which I think is reflected by some of the music I listen to.

  • What Writing Can Do For You - English (or rather, writing in general, no matter which language you've learned) is a very important part of the learning process and should never be skipped over.
  • Blondie Biography And Top 10 Songs - There were two main reasons I started listening to Blondie and they were: first I thought Debbie Harry was amazingly beautiful and second the style of music they made. At the time I got into Blondie I was listening to a lot of punk and new wave stuff like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Sham 69, The Exploited, Ramones, Ian Dury, The Stranglers, etc... and it also helped me to annoy my parents. I actually used to like putting posters on my wall when I was a kid at school and one of my posters was a full size poster of Debbie Harry. Blondie are an American punk/new wave cross and were formed in 1975 and consisted originally of Chris Stein, Debbie Harry, Jimmy Destri, Clem Burke and Gary Valentino.
  • Pink Floyd Biography And Top 10 Songs - I think I probably started listening to Pink Floyd because I used to chill with some dudes who smoked weed and used to play Floyd a lot and I found the music is really good to listen to when you are stoned. Pink floyd are a kind of psychedelic rock cross breed and their lyrics are quite deep and philosophical.
  • 11 Benny Hill Quotes to Celebrate The Birth of Laughter - Ready to laugh with some Benny Hill quotes? Alfred "Alfie" Hill (the comedian we lovingly refer to as "Benny Hill) was born on January 21, 1924. He was one of the few men in the world who could tick off as many people as he could entertain. If you're in the mood for some Benny Hill humor, or even just some nostalgia, these 11 Benny Hill quotes should do the trick. 1. "Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect." 2. "That's what show business is, sincere insincerity." 3.
  • Software For Business Success - The important points that must be addressed in your business plan, and therefore the functions you must find in the software for your business plan, are the details of implementation and analysis of cash flow. Cash flow is one of the most vital parts of a company and its business plan and software designed to keep track of the cash flow helps resolve the difficulties in following its path. Cash is often misunderstood as a profit figure, but they are not one and the same. Business plan software helps you differentiate and keep track of each.

Business plan software can help prevent this issue.

  • Documentary Film Making - Documentary films, as the name implies, are films produced with the intention of being an audio-visual documentation of a concept or event. A documentary film is intended to be much more like a piece of journalism than a piece of entertainment or expressive art. There is typically a voice-over narrative going on throughout a documentary film with the narrator describing what's being seen in a businesslike way without any dramatic reading. Documentary films are often made to more deeply explore a current events or history subject that has remained shrouded in mystery, been controversial, or in the opinion of the film maker misunderstood or underexposed.

  • Feeding The Mind With Inspiration Constantly - If you feel stuck in a rut and are currently searching for a path to self improvement and motivation.
  • Success is as individual as you are. - There are hundreds of books available which claim to be able to teach the secrets of success. And each has at least a snippet of truth, making it a valuable read. But I think too many people get bogged down in the process of "becoming successful" rather than just getting on with what it is they want to achieve. Everyone's own recipe for success is personal and cannot be simply copied from other's experiences. Reading biographies may inspire us and other people's "can-do" attitudes will rub off on us if we open our minds to new possibilities.
  • Iron Maiden Biography And Top 10 Songs - The song Charlotte the Harlot probably started me listening to Iron Maiden more than just hearing them on the radio because (and I know this is mean) when I was at school back in the day there was a girl I knew called Charlotte and I used to call her Charlotte the Harlot because of knowing...
