Top 5 Dinner Party Guests

If you could invite anyone to a dinner party who would it be? It is a classic dilemma and normally we do not get to choose anyone to come. But imagine if you could choose anyone, who would you ask? What sort of conversation would they have with you and what sorts of interesting things could you find out about?

Margaret Thatcher

Having a good strong woman would be a great start to the dinner party. She has had to live in a man’s world for a long time and it would be interesting to find out how this woman managed the men around her and also managed to be a wife and mother. This is a job that a lot of women have to do these days, keep a job and manage the family and it would be really interesting to find out how someone, with the most important job in the county, managed to do it. It would also be interesting to find out how she managed on so little sleep and what she really though of the US president and the Queen!

Robin Williams

Having someone funny at a dinner Party is always a great thing. Someone who can tell intelligent jokes and also has a slapstick nature is fantastic. It is great to have all the guests laughing. With such a good career, he would also have great stories to tell about celebrities he had met and things like that. He is also of a good age with good life experience so is likely to have some great stories to tell.

Jon Bon Jovi

Having someone musical can always bring a different aspect to a dinner party. You may feel that you want some entertainment. However, just having a voice is not always enough. It can be great to have someone who has had a lot of experience of the music industry and also has some good tales to tell and having toured a lot, he is sure to be able to do this. Having someone a bit older is good too, not some of these young new stars who have little experience and not really very much musical talent if we are all honest. Read more »

Top 5 Cartoon Characters

There are huge amounts of cartoon characters, some of which have been around for  along time and others that are quite new. They vary a lot, both in the age that they appeal to and the sorts of things that they appear in. Here is a Top 5.

Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse

Mickey Mouse was Disney’s first real big hit and he is still amusing children today. For a character, whether cartoon or not, to be able to do this is quite a feat. Mickey has changed his look over the years but always has had a black body and is well known for his red shorts. He has a girlfriend Minnie Mouse and is often seen alongside his friends Donald and Daisy Duck. Mickey has a characteristic squeaky voice and is a friendly and happy character.

Bart Simpson

Bart Simpson

Bart Simpson is the son in the Simpson family. His character is loved by boys who like the fact that he is naughty and so very cool. He started by having a slingshot in his pocket and often falls out with his father because he gets him in to trouble. He is hated by his well behaved older sister, Lisa especially when his pranks end up making him popular and cool and he doesn’t get into trouble. Like all of the Simpsons, he never seems to get any older and it is likely that he never will. Read more »

Top 5 Websites

There are a lot of website, but there are some which stand out over the rest as useful, funa nd popular. See if you agree with this list.

Wikipedia

Despite all the talk about the inaccuracies of this website, it is certainly a very useful one. Countless children must use it to do their homework and many other people to look up information. The amount of information that it contains, does sometimes make you wonder how we managed without it. It is great to be able to easily look up anything you need to know and be fairly confident that the information on there is correct. Another great thing is that the site is continuously growing and so the information should get better, and more detailed over time.

YouTube

Being able to watch fun videos is something which has quickly come along since broadband speeds got faster. The ability to be able to publish your own videos so that your family and friends can easily see them and to be able to watch other peoples is great fun. There are a great selection of different things on their too, the only problem is the limited file size but this is bound to change in the future.

Facebook

Social networking is something that many of us cannot seem to do without these days, Sharing family photos and videos and finding out what you old friends and acquaintances are up to can be great fun. Telling people that you are now feeding your cat or brushing your teeth, may not be for everyone, but it is certainly a great communication aid and it also seems to have a cathartic purpose, in that being able to tell the world that you have a problem, seems to help many people even if they do not get a satisfactory solution.

Ebay

Never was our old junk so valuable! Ebay has done a lot for people in that they now have the ability to easily sell their old things and make money. It has also allowed people to buy things more easily. There are a few problems in that it has brought down the value of collectables because more people are aware of the value of things and now they have an easy way to sell them, they are more likely to do so. However, it is certainly very useful in these tough financial times as we can make money form our old junk…erm valuables!

Amazon

Buying books never was so cheap and easy. Amazon has expended now from just selling books to selling all sorts of things. There is also the ability to sell second hand as well as new items and anyone can now be a seller. It was certainly a clever business plan and it has solved many people Christmas shopping worries as it can all be done from the comfort of home. It is so successful that it could be partly responsible for the growth in on line shopping and certainly provides a very useful service. There are not many people who have not heard of them.

Top 5 Children’s Toys

As children we always had particular toys that were our favourites but most of us had a huge amount of toys that we really wanted but we were not allowed to have. Maybe we had played with them at a friends, maybe we saw them in a shop or advertised on the television. We then tend to buy things we always wanted for our children, some are great but others can be a big disappointment. The Top 5 list includes only toys which have been around for generations and have stood the test of time.

Lego

Lego is the ultimate construction toy. Although it can be expensive, there is no imitating it as it is truly the best. There are great things with Lego, you can buy general bricks to construct your own things, which is great for the imagination but also buy sets of things to make such as buildings and vehicles. It is suitable across a wide age range but does tend to be more biased towards boys than girls. The sets comes in a variety of sizes, meaning that there is something which will suit all budgets.

Play Mobil

Play Mobil are plastic toys which tend to need to be put together before playing with. This is all part of the fun but they tend not to be able to be taken apart again. The toys tend to move which is good and they can be vehicles, people, animals etc. Each set will come with a person and they vary in size from just a person and animal to a huge pirate ship. The themes of the toys tend to be for girls and boys and so they are great for everyone especially as the smaller packs are cheap.

Barbie / Action Man

No top 5 list of toys could be complete with Barbie and Action man. They have been grouped together as one is obviously for girls and the other for boys. The attraction with these dolls seems to be that they can change in to many different outfits as well as the fact that they harness the imagination. With accessories such as furniture and houses for Barbie and vehicles for Action Man, you can play out all sorts of scenarios with them.   Read more »

3 of the World’s Biggest Online Slots Jackpots

Do you have what it takes to win big at online slots? If you are a legal player with a way to fund your account, the answer is definitely yes! After all, that’s all that the top three winners of the world’s biggest online slots jackpot did.

The best part about the slots game is that it doesn’t take anything really special — you just need to play, and hope that today is your lucky day. But if you haven’t won anything before, sometimes it’s nice to think about the people that have won, and hope that you’ll be able to say that you joined a very exclusive, very special club.

So, what are the world’s largest online slots jackpots? Glad you asked!

1. The King of Online Jackpot Payouts – $5.9 million

This payout was won at Intercasino, an online casino that caters to international players. While US players aren’t going to be able to play at this casino, you have to admit that the jackpot is pretty large. So if you happen to be traveling outside the country or if you’re not from the United States, you always have a chance to hit a jackpot like this!

2. Second Runner Up – Major Millions – Lucky Nugget Casino – $1.68 Million

The runner up in the progressive jackpot game would have to be Major Millions, a slot machine over at Lucky Nugget Casino. This is another casino that doesn’t take U.S players at this time, but all U.S players that have an account already can still play there. It’s one of those things that get a little tricky about the online gambling industry — sometimes US players can play, and sometimes they can’t. That’s why it’s always a good idea to look at some casino reviews before you get too invested in a site.

3. Third Place is Still Great — $1.55 Million — Captain Cooks Casino

There seems to be a trend here, as this is another casino that doesn’t accept new players. However, there’s something to be said about such an impressive jackpot — another proof that it’s all about chance when it comes to the game of slots.

So, are you excited about playing slots yet? These jackpots should definitely give you some inspiration and motivation to play online slots from the comfort of your home!
