Porsche Have The Wrong Attitude

Sunday, 21st December, 2008

I’m relaxing on my sofa, flicking through the Awards 2008 issue of Top Gear Magazine, when I come across an article about Porsche’s new four-seater sports car, the Panamera. It seems that it is all the rage at the moment, for luxury pocket-rocket makers to stretch out the wheelbase and add in some proper back [...]

I’ll Have 568.2615 Millilitres Of Lager, Please

Britain has been allowed to keep it’s pint, the BBC reported today. To some, this probably seems like a small thing, almost unworthy of reporting. But to Britons, it’s actually quite important. Despite being so geographically close to mainland Europe, and enjoying a fairly good relationship with the continent, the British are very resistant to [...]

Is A Staircase Really That Hard To Walk Up?

Last month I was hopping around various travel websites trying to figure out a good hotel to stay in for my winter trip to Venice. I usually just consider the synopsis of amenities the hotel provides and take a glance at the photos they put up. Taking into account the images were probably shot just [...]

As winter draws in and the evenings get darker and colder, it is nice to curl up under a warm blanket and do the things that bring you the most joy. Last weekend I did just that; rich dark chocolate, a glass of Italian Pinot Grigio and my (other) blog. Speaking of which…

Liquid vs. Frozen/Fizzy Pop vs. Slush Puppie

Having read that Esther has been sliding herself around the side of mountain in Western America recently, I got thinking about board sports this early morning shortly after consuming my coffee, but before it really took hold of my senses. You see, I enjoy boards and their ability to glide, slide, roll, skim and slither [...]

No Prejudice, No Grudge

You know it’s happened before it actually has, the tightening of your stomach the starkest and most sickening of warnings. As your mind catches up with your body, it is already too late to repair the damage, for the error has occurred and the point-of-no-return a forgotten memory. Denying acceptance, you move your feet with [...]

The Feeling Of Impending Apprehension

Every November, I get a feeling cursing through my veins. It isn’t a particularly nice sensation, but there are positives to take from it. I always try to see the good side; the potential success of applying maximum effort. But the required drain on my life, my energy and my sanity usually means that at [...]

Washing Machines, Apples & Televisions

Washing machines are scary. Seriously, of all the machines I use on a daily basis, doing the laundry ranks among the scariest of all. I regularly get into lifts and get shot up to a height that could kill me if everything in the lift and back-up mechanisms failed and I fell. Yet I don’t [...]

Ten Years Late, But Still Capturing Hearts

They have their adoring fans and they have their ardent critics, but The Verve have tested us all over the long journey that has seen them reach the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows. Today saw the release of the band’s fourth studio album, entitled Forth, and after a busy summer [...]

Rule One: Do Not Talk About Fight Club

Behind Prodrivel, you might be surprised to learn, are a set of rules that I created. I considered never publishing these rules, but after a sleepless rampage of thoughts last night where my mind wouldn’t shut-down, I decided to inform you readers of Prodrivel what this legislation is. And believe me, it really is legislation [...]
