11Things You Really Should Have Done Before Getting Married


1. Watch yourself eating in front of a mirror. If you're put off, that's the view your future partner will have...

2. Live on your own. It's important that you find out what a hopeless slob you are before your beloved tells you. And then leaves you...

3. Men: Get rid of those "How to Get Girls Even Though You're Poor and Ugly' books. They never work anyway... 

4. Gobble the last slice of pizza without having to go through the 'No you have it, no really... Are you sure you don't mind...?

5. Walk about the house naked, without having to hold any bits in...

6. Have friends of the opposite sex. After marriage, it's too much effort to keep saying: "No, I really don't fancy them"...

7. Men: Enjoy that wardrobe space while you can! You will not believe the vast number of shoes that one woman needs...

8. Women: Fill in silly magazine quizzes with titles like 'Are You Seductive', without having to listen to loud laughter from your partner (who then runs off with the magazine)...The Gift

9. Men: Get rid of anything inflatable and female-shaped...

10. Relish clipping your toenails straight onto the carpet...

11. Remember that your best option with in-laws is to marry an orphan...

Xbox 360 - FIFA World Cup 2010 Game Review

FIFA WORLD CUP 2010 - What a great game.

The majority of you reading this article will have probably played or own a copy of FIFA 2010 and wonder if it is worth buying what is an extension of this game. Well I am in that category and I fully recommend purchasing it.

The first thing that I was struck by was the amount of teams they have managed to pack into this game, you can literally pick anyone in the world to play with should you want to, whether you are a resident of Andorra or Zambia you can pick your native/favourite country and go for glory in a World Cup Campaign.

For the rest of you glory hunters (like me) you will more likely pick from Spain, Brazil, Germany, England or Holland etc.

The guys at EA Sports have really worked hard improving faces, stadiums, fans and the all round general authentic feel we all look for in each of the FIFA releases.

Note: You now get managers shown at moments during the game gesturing instructions as you would have in a real football match! Mr Capello looks as mafia-ish as ever on the sidelines in his England Suit.

I have played other FIFA spin offs and this by far the best one they have produced and one I will continue to play when the World cup is concluded.

AP Stylebook adds 42 new guidelines for social media

(Mashable) -- The AP Stylebook has released its new social media guidelines, including the official change from"Web site" to "website" (a move first reported back in April) and 41 other definitions, use cases and rules that journalists should follow.

Among the more interesting changes -- at least from a grammar and style standpoint -- are separating out "smart phone" as two words, hyphenating "e-reader," and allowing fan, friend and follow to be used both as nouns and verbs.
Beyond that, the AP has also defined a number of acronyms that are commonly used in texting and instant messaging. While most of them should be fairly well-known to regular web and mobile phone users (ROFL, BRB and G2G are among the definitions) one actually was new to me: POS.
