If you’re like me and your fed up of voting for the same three useless political parties in the UK who seem to be only there for their own benefit and for no benefit whatsoever of the public that blindly vote for them. Then here are some alternative political parties in the UK you could try out. My first suggestion is the well known Official Monster Raving Loony Party . Their leader is Alan “Howlin Laud” Hope. They’ve been around since 1963 and in 2008 they have a very succesfull candidate by the name of Mad Cow Girl, who bought in 412 votes. Here’s some of the party’s manifesto for 2010. - Add the Loch Ness Monster to the endangered species list - A 99p coin, which will help save on change. - Make it illegal for superheroes to use their powers for evil My next choice is the Pirate Party , which was formed only last year. They are apparently the party for the 21 st century. Their main aims are toward reforming copyright and patent ...

I’ve never bothered going to London Zoo, as I don’t like the idea of going to see animals from the wild in middle of a concrete city. My first ever trip to the Zoo was a drive up North, to one of London Zoo’s partners, Whipsnade Zoo which is near Luton. Even though it was a little less city like, I absolutely loved my time there and since have been planning to go back. Until now...I recently discovered Port Lympne, which is a Kent Zoo that’s actually closer to London then Luton and it’s based in the Garden of England, Kent! Port Lympne is more of a Wild Life Park in Kent and has a wonderful mixture of animals from all over the world. The park is run by the Aspinall Foundation a charity which does a wonderful job of looking after endangered species such as the Bengal Tiger and Black Rhino . There’s animal there I’ve never even heard of, which makes it more exciting to go visit this brilliant wild life park. Recently Port Lympne has been voted England’s best touri...

For all the devoted animal lovers out there who would like to do that extra little bit to show their love. There are opportunities at animal parks in Kent to adopt Gorilla’s from a certain Gorilla Park in Kent . Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent which is run by the Aspinall Foundation looks after a massive selection of endangered animals, amongst which there is a large selection of cute Gorilla’s awaiting adoption. Meet Teke, he is a Gorilla from Congo and was born April the 4th 2006. Teke’s been looked after at Port Lympne Wild Park and has started to learn the necessary skills to live in the jungle with other wild gorillas. Although his a little reckless in his behaviour, Teke is getting better at his social skills Why not have a look at adopting Teke or pick one of his friends from the Aspinall Foundation.

The world of Honda Innovations is a fascinating place. I recently came across this new invention and I had to really look twice to even accept that such an idea was thought up by somebody. At first I looked at it and thought, this is the world getting lazier by day. Surely we don’t need a machine to help us walk around; I thought we had the whole walking thing mastered centuries ago. The device didn’t look very attractive either and I couldn’t imagine seeing people walking around with a machine strapped to their legs. I thought I’d give the idea a chance and read further into the Walking Assist section on the Honda website. They claim this is a device to help people perform physically demanding activities, by making the body weight seem lighter. Effectively it helps reduce the load off your legs, while climbing up stairs, which apparently helps reduce fatigue and physical exertion. I suppose I can see the benefits of Honda’s Walking Assist, especially for people w...

Who would have guessed that the CRZ on the new Honda CRZ stood for Compact Renaissance Zero. The “C” stands for compact and the new Honda CRZ is definitely compact. Its length is 160.6 inches, which is shorter than a VW Golf which is 166inches. Even the width is smaller than the likes of the VW Golf which is 69.3inches; whereas the Honda CRZ is 68.5inches. The CRZ is a 2 passenger’s car, although I reckon they could have put in rear seats if they wanted to. Next the “R” stands for Renaissance. As we know the renaissance was a time of art, philosophy, science and many other intellectual subjects. The Honda CRZ is one car that has almost returned from the past. The similarities between the New Honda CRZ and the old Honda CRX are very easy to notice and its quiet clear that Honda have modelled the CRZ to bring back some of the past. Finally the “Z” stands for Zero; no this is not what the price tag of this car is. The zero represents the cars hybrid engine and nearly zero ...

I never realised that the Citroen I use to call upside down boat was called the Citroen DS, I also didn’t realise how popular the car was in its time. So recently when I saw the launch of Citroens new DS models I understood why this new car was such a funky design, it had to live up to its ancestors. The old Citroen DS’s design was pretty bold and it took me a long time to accept how unique and cool this car actually is. For the time it was built it was an extremely luxury vehicle and technology wise it was up there with its innovative hydro pneumatic self-levelling suspension. The design was also a little outrageous, but these were the reasons for making this car such an icon. The new Citroen DS3 which I had a chance to check out at Citroen Newcastle DS3 showroom. I was kind of put off by its design, I thought it looked a little over the top. But now that I’ve seen how much this car can be customised, I’m actually impressed by its uniqueness and learning abou...
