I don't do speakers, or rather I didn't used to! Mr M gets overly excited about speakers and the sounds which comes out of them and I find this a bit disturbing. Maybe it's a man/woman Mars/Venus thing because I don't know many women who salivate with delight when the conversation turns to sound quality,... Continue Reading →
Property: Honestly, Chef Ramsey, it’s not just you getting screwed…
Blimey, if banks had ears, there'd be a set burning bright scarlet this week. During several conversation with property players and professionals, my eyes have widened at the venom out there in the property marketplace and beyond for this big player in the UK market, good god, how short do they think people's memories are?...

Design: Manchester’s best bus stop – guerrilla decorating
I've heard of guerrilla gardening (and done a bit myself) but this is a new one for me - guerrilla decorating! There was no clue as to the whys or wherefores, but don't you just love the way a frustrated interior designer has given this bus-stop in Rusholme the changing rooms treatment. Ok, the wallpaper...

Design: Hotel bathrooms – why so little thought?
Why is it that, unless you're staying in a eye-wateringly expensive boutique venue, hotel bathrooms are so relentlessly poor in the UK? When Head Office allocates the budget, £x for glossy brochures, £x for fancy foyer, £x for bland corporate decor, what voice in their head says Naaaaaa, don't bother putting any real thought into...

Property: Panorama & dodgy landlords, but what about the rest of us?
Just once I'd like to see a show extolling the virtues of Fantastic Landlords and Landladys! Although last night's Panorama seemed like a well backed -up expose of a couple of shocking property companies/peeps, it only served to reinforce the belief in the mind of the watching public that all landlords are money-grabbing, problem-ignoring Rachmans...

Property: a landlord considering joining UWDC? DON’T!!
Dear Landlords everywhere, If anyone suggests to you joining UWDC, that's the Utility Warehouse Discount Club - DON"T. Dear Christ, just don't. Even if they tell you it's easier to have all your accounts under one roof - it isn't. Even if they tell you you'll earn money - you won't, it'll COST you money... Continue Reading →
