Here is a new blog that seems like it could be a good one. Now Fifty Something tracks the diary of a guy approaching 50.... Check it out!

I came across a new blog recently that may be worth watching. It is called My Debt Mountain and it tracks a guy who makes good money but is in debt up to his eyeballs and cannot get any help....

This must surely be becoming a common issue these days?

Have you ever been part of a UK pension scheme? Even one that only your employer contributed to? And, do you now live overseas? If so, you have to read this story in which someone just like you made 98K for nothing.

Just like me, this guy contributed to a UK Pension scheme for a few years and then departed overseas. Just like me, he forgot about that pension because it seemed pretty worthless and all you can do with one is wait until you retire and then take the miniscule amounts of cash they chose to give you each month right?

If you like on line gambling sites, this one seems to have a lot going for it though I confess, I haven't played there. available in multiple languages, the site appears well designed and features table games, slots and 3D games. Right now, they have a promotion offering a 50% bonus on your first deposit up to $100 as well as several other promotions. Of course, with a name like BlackJack Club, the site features blackjack too!

Due to recent U.S. regulations, the site is no longer accepting U.S. players but if you visit the site from the United States you will probably be brought to a page that says it cannot accept U.S. Players. However, you can still pick the option 'Play for Free' if that happens.

Renting a car for you vacation - sun or ski - should be easy shouldn't it? Well, here is a car rental company that makes it easy. You can rent a car and more with Advantage either in the US or at International locations. While looking over their site, make sure you look over their
special offers. There you'll find some savings on cars, SUV's and Vans and a whole lot more to make your visit worthwhile. They truly offer worldwide pick up locations too even including Brno in the Czech Republic where I live!

So, remember if you require car rental, go and check out advantage first.

Enjoy going to music festivals and languishing in the mud as your favorite band plays live? Want to know who is appearing at what British music festival and where to get tickets? Even book your coach trip there and listen to the bands music before you go? Then you should head over to UK Music Festivals.

Here you can get the latest music festival news and find out who is playing Glastonbury or Reading or any other venue in the UK this year. It's a well organized and thought through website with all the UK music festivals listed and continually updated. For each festival they provide a summary and links to the actual festival website as well as other websites of interest including travel tips.

Want to know what's on? Just visit the festival calendar for a complete list of all UK festivals and of course, do visit the Festival Guide and Tips section for other useful information...

What an amazing name for a blog focused mostly on photography - sidemirrorshooting with the equally thought provoking tag of "a mere hobbyist, pseudo-photographer lurking about". I found this blog recently as a part of a program where you write about other's blogs and enjoyed it frankly.

Like most blogs it is part personal type posts and part educational with the emphasis being on photography - how to, what to and with what. I'm someone who really can't be bothered with all that technical stuff and just point and shoot with my digital and hope for the best. This blogger shows off some photos which I think are actually amazing so I guess actually knowing a little more about taking photographs is worthwhile. On the other hand...I'm lazy.

If you like photography - pop over and take a look at this blog and the associated flickr area used for photos... The bloggers best photo for 2007 is truly amazing in my opinion and can be found here.

While you do that, I'm gonna see if I can get rid of the red eye in my latest photos.....
