Remember, Remember the 5th November!. Top Story - November 2022.
I and millions of other Brits will be gathering in farmer's fields freezing to the bone this weekend. As we gaze in awe at the cold night backdrop and its pretty colourful display. Smells of gunpowder smoke slowly infiltrate the odours of cooked meats, kebab vans and children's sweets. The crowd huddled together in darkness in between sparklers, LED plastic sticks, and flickers of light all celebrating Guy Fawkes Night (Bonfire Night).

Magazine Subscriptions - Are they Worth it?
I like magazines. Honestly, I prefer magazines over books most of the time. They go a lot further and take up a lot less space. They are easy to travel with. They can be recycled and used quicker. They usually have more art and photographs within their pages to enjoy. Yes, I'm a fan of magazines.

Reasons Why Your Next Present Should Be A Gift Card
Some people may say that gift cards are impersonal or lacking the much sought-after thought behind a gift. However, if you think about it, it is the perfect gift. We do not always know the size, favorite color or personal taste of the person who is receiving the gift. Say you have received an invite to a new co-worker’s Christmas party. What could you bring as a gift without knowing what others have brought, only associating with her for a week and not knowing what her likes or dislikes are? Yes, of course that one present that you cannot go wrong getting a gift card!

Glass bottles are immersed to their necks in its bubbling waters, carefully sealed and sent off for testing. The result is the discovery of so great a quantity of lithium – eight or 10 times as much per gallon as had been found in any hot spring previously analysed – that scientists suspect “it may prove of great commercial value”.
