Fun Things

Over the years I, and probably you have as well, have been sent links to funny and interesting things that, looking back on it, I'd wished I'd kept for future amusement. Below are links to a few that I do remember and keep for my own pleasure. I will keep adding more in the future. Enjoy!

Be nosey!!!

Go on, find out what your neighbours paid for their house

This site appeals to the nosey side of our natures. I find myself using this site regularly, typing in street addresses, postcodes, towns and cities on the hunt for what areas I could afford to live in and analysing the costs and price trends of houses in particular areas.

Note: you will also find on this site some good house buying and house selling tips and advice. Also, if you feel your energy bills are getting too expensive, we give you some useful links to gas and electric price comparison sites. Very interesting cleverly created website and saves you money. Now get those curtains twitching!!!

Get hooked into the World of Warcraft, for free

World of Warcraft is the massive and popular online gaming phenomenon, I really enjoy it, but be warned as it's all too easy to get totally addicted to this game. Take my advice, you have to discipline time spent on it and limit your achievements in the game. Go to the their website and sign up for a free 10 day trial, tell the family that you're off to war, and you may be back in a week or so. See you on the battlefield!

Hit those windows!

Snowball fight - Glasgow style!!!

Media company 'Chunk' cracked this site out years ago as a bit of online marketing, I guess to cleverly work out which agencies were worth doing business with. The idea was that, if they were interested enough, they would hit the targets and show that they had a sense of humour. How Glasgow is that?! It has been doing the rounds every winter ever since. Note: Adults only!!! The idea is to hit as many of the, what appears to be a Glasgow tenement, windows as possible. For every window you hit a funny Glasgow accented voice shouts some abuse at you. Reminds me of my childhood in Glasgow!!! I was an angel really!!!
