Happy Tape Measure Day!
Yes you read that right, it's July 14th, not April 1st. There really is a Tape Measure Day! The chosen date for Tape Measure Day hasn't been chosen at random either. There's a reason for it, and that is, that on this day, in 1868, American Alvin J. Fellows filed a patent for his new invention, the retractable tape measure! Of course even back then tape measures were nothing new. The Romans used strips of leather with marks on to measure with, and in England, James Chesterman had created a

Do you ever have a flutter on the gee-gees?
I do like to place a little bet on the horse racing once in a while, the Grand National is a must of course. I have a friend who always seems to win. I've asked how they do it. Surely they have some secret system, or they do a lot of research into the history and form of all the horses. Perhaps they scrutinize the weather forecast and know which horses run best in the rain or whatever. But no, apparently they just pick a name they like! So how come they always win and I always lose? I alw

You can't beat a cool pair of shades, they're the perfect fashion accessory for a sunny day, but they're also far more than just a fashion statement. Sunglasses and pure optical lenses protect your eyes from the harmful UV rays of the sun. We tend to neglect our eyes when it comes to the sunshine. We just want to cut out the glare, we don't think about the damaging effects. Even those of us who are very particular about applying lots of sun cream often forget that our eyes are just as likely

Got Any Plans for the Summer Solstice?

'Sol' meaning 'sun' and 'sistere' meaning 'to make stand'. This is because on this day, the sun does appear to be stationary in the sky. If you're a fan of the summer solstice, you may want to consider a move to Uranus where the summer solstice lasts for 42 years! While many of us don't tend t
