| Larrys |  | Does Your Car Have Trouble Starting Lately?It's a simple fact of life that cars are affected by the colder winter weather. The first most people know about it is when they get into their car on a cold morning, put the key in the ignition, and the car either struggles to life, to just won't start at all. So why is this?

| DVD Bridesmaids |  | BridesmaidsKristen Wiig plays Annie Walker, a loser, a good person, but self-sabotaging, sliding too easily into self-pity. We can empathise with her while still diagnosing her issues: Nobody in the film is as cruel to her as she is to herself. Annie is flailing, and the impending marriage of her childhood friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) just magnifies all of Annie’s demons. Presented with Lillian’s new best friend Helen (Rose Byrne), who’s loaded and can afford the best things for Lillian’s wedding, Annie pretty much loses it. The wedding itself is almost inconsequential: it’s Helen and everything she represents that make...Read More >> |

| New Year Resolutions |  | New Year ResolutionsOne survey suggests that although 52% of people felt confident of success, after a year only 12% had achieved what they set out to do. In fact, forget the figure of 12%. The fact that barely half of the people in the survey had any confidence when they set their goal tells us that sometimes the only thing more traditional than making a New Year’s resolution is failing a New Year’s resolution.Assuming you have not already given up on yours, let’s think positive. How do we succeed? Here are some ‘think positive’ tips for resolution success:

| What is Love? By Hannah |  | What is Love? By HannahWhat is love? Surely, isn’t it all of these things?

An invitation to share our table or our family joys to one who is on their own. To put ourselves out for or give time to a person that we don`t necessarily feel is a favourite...Read More >> |

| Quesada Focus Eds Comments |  | Quesada Focus Eds CommentsWith Christmas upon us once again it often becomes a time to reflect on the past year – or rather where has it gone? I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels that since moving to Spain time seems to have gone into fast mode. We all believe that many companies do things “mañana” just to annoy and wind us up – but I now understand it’s simply because today goes too quickly and therefore has to be done “mañana”. So much for the relaxed way of life we all came for! I for one am really looking forward...Read More >> |
