Oh god, the new Big Brother has started, and here we go, I'm hooked! I wanted to watch the beginning to see what all this Pamela Anderson stuff was about, but now I'm in hook line and sinker! They've put loads of beautiful girls in, but the guys are a bit weird. There's a posh boy, a camp bi-sexual guy, a 'fresh prince of Bel Air' guy, an arrogant-but-intelligent guy, and a pretty boy that reckons he's slept with over a thousand girls - yuck! He's the worst, he was apparently voted best looking guy in Newcastle, but really, he's nothing special! I really don't understand mens fashion sometimes, I mean, stonewashed denim jeans, why?! There are some strange girls too, like Heaven the healer and Tashie the belly-dancing all singing all dancing type, who will probably be evicted this week because she's annoying! See! Hooked!

With my job I have to start learning about different servers and security measures. This week it was the turn of dedicating hosting services. Not sure what that is? I didn’t either beforehand – let me explain! A dedicated hosting service or sometimes known as a dedicated hosting is an internet hosting which a server is provided to a company or an organisation. The company has full control over the server and what kind of hardware and operating system is used. Using a dedicated hosting assists the security measures with the server, including ways to scan for viruses. One limitation with it though is some do not allow instant messaging over the internet. Now wasn’t that thrilling!!!

It is so hard to find a nice simple pair of jeans. Nowadays they are either straight leg, skinny leg or bootcut. HIgh waisted, low waisted or on the hip. Why can't it just be 'here buy a pair of jeans'! After shopping around for ages and getting very stressed I managed to find a nice pair....finally! They are from Pepe Jeans and are turn up ones so they will be ideal for the summer. They were £72 and I think will last a long while - which is good - because as soon as you find a decent pair you do not want to hunt for a new pair anytime soon! Picture: additionsdirect.co.uk/

Why is it when there is a little bit of sun or a guy goes on holiday they feel the need to crack open there locked cupboard of hideous clothes and pot on a Hawaiian shirt? They look awful and do not suit anyone! I swear some guys feel they look cool and a ‘bit of fun’ but they just look ridiculous. I feel mens shirts are always very tough to get right unless of course you have a suit on with a plain shirt – that you can’t get wrong! (Only the tie!) When on holiday a guy should wear either a check shirt or even a jean shirt of an evening and in the daytime they should stick to t-shirts and NOT tank tops! (Don’t get me started on tank tops!)

I'm looking to upload some of my photography into stock websites, but I'm having trouble picking one! I've heard it's a great way to make some extra cash if you're good at creating images that can be used in adverts, etc, so I've built up quite a bank of images now and am ready to take the plunge and put them into a stock database! I've heard Alamy and istockphoto are okay, does anyone have any advice on those, or any experience with this sort of thing? I've found loads of stock directories online, but whenever I look for advice forums people are talking about stock broking instead! I want to know about Getty not Rowan Dartington! I'm prepared to surrender the rights to the images for the right price, and am happy to discuss exclusive copyright with those willing to buy it, but I want to make sure that by uploading my images to a stock directory I'm not being tricked into giving up my copyright altogether! Advice appreciated! Photo: Marcin Lachowicz (Flickr)
