7 Reasons That The Panini World Cup 2010 Sticker Album Is Frustrating

7 Reasons That The Panini World Cup 2010 Sticker Album Is Frustrating

The World Cup starts today, and so does my 2010 World Cup Panini sticker album, and it’s fair to say that I’m rather excited by both events.  Somehow though, the Panini album isn’t quite as much fun as I remember them being in my childhood.   1.  Cost. Traditionally, Panini sticker albums are very expensive to complete, but I’ve found ten packets of stickers on Amazon for £4.52, and I only need 638 stickers to...

7 Reasons I Should Be Celebrated The World Over

7 Reasons I Should Be Celebrated The World Over

Today I turn 27. I is Jon. Happy Birthday to me. Thanks. This very special day gives me a wonderful opportunity to indulge in a little piece of narcissism. Well, I say narcissism. It’s more a chance to try and make the world a better place. 1.  Holiday. June 10th would automatically be made a public holiday. And just before you start thinking this could never happen, well it already has. In Portugal. 2.  Statues. Don’t get me...

7 Reasons Marc Is Wrong About The Nautical Look

7 Reasons Marc Is Wrong About The Nautical Look

Yesterday, Marc wrote a post called, 7 Reasons That The Nautical Look Is Objectionable. I read it aghast. How could someone so intelligent be so wrong? Today, I aim to put right his wrongs. 1. Saturation Point. Too much of a thing is never good – which is why I’m editing this with a hangover – and the nautical look is everywhere.  It’s finally reached saturation point and now it seems that almost every woman in the UK is dressed as a...

7 Reasons It’s Outrageous The BBC Have Cancelled Last Of The Summer Wine

7 Reasons It’s Outrageous The BBC Have Cancelled Last Of The Summer Wine

1.  It Has Sunday Written All Over It. Last Of The Summer Wine is Sunday. On it comes at around 6pm and immediately the nation realises it will soon be Monday. That is Last Of The Summer Wine’s job. Getting people depressed so they start the week off in the right way. Now what are we going to do? We can’t be happy on Monday morning. That would be wrong. 2.  The Joke. It’s the same one. It always has been. I haven’t...

7 Reasons to Have a Lie-In

7 Reasons to Have a Lie-In

  1.  Avoid The Sun. Spending an extra hour in bed in the summer means that you avoid an extra hour of exposure to the sun,  This is a good thing.  The sun gives cancer; the sun gives burn; the sun can cause blindness.  It’s a hazard.  When people are exposed to the sun, their skin warms and darkens like that of a chicken in an oven.  This is because the sun is slowly cooking us, though for what nefarious purpose, I cannot begin to...

7 Reasons To Experience A Simple Pleasure

7 Reasons To Experience A Simple Pleasure

7 Reasons is, by and large, a humour site. At least that’s what we like to think. You may have noticed that occasionally we divert from this, although it must be said that half the time it is probably not that intentional. Today, you’ll be pleased to hear though, it is. So there’s no need to laugh. I was walking back from Tesco the other day when my phone vibrated in my pocket. It got me thinking about simple pleasures. I know...
