Review of "I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" TV series

"I'm a celebrity, get me out of here" TV series

"Can this get any worse?"

Can this get any worse?

The term celebrity is used here very loosely, I didn't recognise the majority of the participants on this show. Its the usual format of living in the jungle and food earned by accomplishing tasks.

The tasks being the usual eating grubs, insects, unusual animal parts, hanging from heights or being confined in small spaces with various exotic creatures.

The only real difference from year to year, is the interaction between the "celebrities" and even this has become predictable. A bit of romance, a lot of bickering and animosity.

This show, I feel has run its course. Its just boring now. Time to finish?

Review of Pilot V5

Pilot V5

"This is one of my favourite pens. Fine tip roller-ball which lasts well and doesn't cost too much."

I have a small pen obsession and love buying new and funky models. But this is not at the high-end, you won't find any Mont Blancs in my drawer. I love the infinite variety of roller balls and gel pens that are out there.

The general price range is €1.50 to €5.00 but I have never found any relationship between price and quality at this level. Most recently I purchased a box of 12 Pilot V5's from Viking for the simple reason that they were the cheapest. Cheaper even than the own-brand stuff.

And I'm thrilled to find that they are perfect. Lovely smooth writing, nice ink, simple shape, a useful tool. And only 79c each!
