I really like the Virgin brand, I have a gold card membership for air-miles, a Virgin Amex is my main credit card, I have Virgin Media supply my home broadband and I am a member of the local Virgin Active health and fitness club (The Glamorgan in Swansea). Heck I'm even a big fan of Mike Oldfield (though technically he's no longer part of Virgin). All in then, I spend easily in excess of £10,000 each year with the Virgin group of companies and three or four times that if you add in the money that goes through my credit card.

As such, for me flying with a budget airline can be a thoroughly unpleasant experience, however a trip to America back in 2000 was worse than anything even I could have imagined.

Hello!

Now that my website is nearly almost finished again (only taken 18 months to update this time), I'm going to make it much easier to find the content that people seem to want to see by providing little articles like this which list the relevant sections and galleries.

This page is all about how I lost my hair due to quite aggressive "MPB", but managed to recover it again by using a regimen of powerful medication and two cosmetic procedures.

Like most people, every so often I like to clean up the list of people I follow on the various social networks. There are a number of reasons why I will unfollow someone, and as such I found I was curious about what made other people unfollow/remove someone from their social feeds. Do people have the same reasons to unfollow someone of Twitter that they do on Facebook for example?
I decided to find out...

The official press line from Butlers Chocolates says this: "Butlers Chocolates are renowned and loved across the globe for their delicious taste and superb quality. They have stood the test of time – winning top awards in the international Great Taste Awards. Hand-packed in a luxurious presentation box, these chocolates offer the ultimate in chocolate indulgence."; This is all well and good, but what it does not really convey is just how delicious these chocolates are.
