		<description><![CDATA[This year, because we are all grown ups and have got most of the toys we want already, we decided to have a white elephant. This meant we had presents to put under the &#8216;tree&#8217; and open after Santa had passed our house. To be honest, we did wonder how he was going to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the 1970s and 80&#8217;s Britain&#8217;s brewing industry underwent huge changes as small independent breweries were amalgamated into the large computer-controlled factories we have nowadays. This also meant the loss of some of the countries favourite beers, replaced by bland brews that were made for shelf-life rather than taste.

They were truly dreadful, gassy drinks which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever since we can remember, before going to bed or going out for a while, we always check around the house and office. In the day time it&#8217;s to shut the doors so that when burglars break in, opening a door will damage their eardrums as our alarms set up a cacophony of deafening bells. [...]]]></description>

He had tried to deliver it to next door where the address label said it should go to, but they didn’t want it. There was no addressee and the name of the building was as incorrect as the number.

Bloody stuff and still very painful. However, it does give the armoury of entertainment a good run out and here are some recommendations.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After hearing the news of the death of Steve Jobs, my first reaction was of sadness for him and his family. But later, it became more than sadness as the news of his death was repeatedly broadcast by the media. That dull feeling in one’s stomach, tight throat and itchy eyes.
