			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since starting my <a href="http://www.uksmallbusinessdirectory.co.uk/Uksbdphones/business-mobile-phones.html">business mobile phones</a> website I have often been asked which is the best mobile phone for small business or which mobile phone plan would I recommend for small business users.</p>
<p>A lot of people say they like BlackBerry mobile phones for business use, but more recently the latest Nokia and HTC handsets have gained popularity too.</p>
<p>To be honest I don&#8217;t really think you can say which is the <a href="http://www.uksmallbusinessdirectory.co.uk/Uksbdphones/business-mobile-phones.html">best mobile phone for small business</a> as it all depends on what it is to be used for.</p>
<p>On saying that I like the look of the new HTC HD2 at the moment and their appear to be some really nice deals with it on T Mobile at the moment, well worth a look <a href="http://valuemobiles.at/sim64?LID=March2010&amp;DURL=http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/business/mobile-phones/price-plans/pay-monthly/business-unlimited-plan/business-unlimited-24-months/htc/hd2/overview/">Click Here fo best business deals</a></p>

<p>Now we are in March 2010 it is time to look at the latest mobile phone handsets again, make my new list of top 10 mobiles on all the major networks, and update the information.</p>
<p>This year I will also be compiling a list of <a href="http://www.uksmallbusinessdirectory.co.uk/Uksbdphones/business-mobile-phones.html">top 10 business mobiles</a> for small business users, including a dedicated page for <a href="http://www.uksmallbusinessdirectory.co.uk/Uksbdphones/t-mobile-business.html">T Mobile business contracts</a> which will display all the latest business deals and latest T Mobile handsets.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I saw a discussion today about how much google is changing and especially how they are mixing in other things (product search, video search, local business center, news, etc.) in with organic search pages.</p>
<p>This made me think how much better google would be if they just kept these all separate, but advertised the other options more.</p>
<p>A good way I see of them doing this would be if instead of having small text links to the other options they could have multiple search boxes on their homepage, like in this <a href="http://www.uksbd.co.uk/g-demo.html">google demonstration</a></p>
<p>What I think would be even better would be if they created a new system for products, services, ecommerce etc. and then gave webmasters the choice of their pages appearing in this new system or the old system.</p>
<p>By doing this the original search engine would revert back to being useful for finding information, where as the new system would be good for people looking for business, services, products etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I stopped playing rugby about 8 or 9 years ago after playing on and off for nigh on 30 years.  It wasn&#8217;t really through choice that I stopped, more really to do with the fact I had a kneck injury which meant I was stiff for at least 3 or 4 days after each game. Towards the end, it was so bad that I was still stiff on the Morning of a game from the week before.</p>
<p>After stopping I never really carried on going to the club, as I wasn&#8217;t really a good spectator, and new that if I did start watching I would only be tempted to have another go.</p>
<p>I did used to go down the club house for the odd big match or to watch the internationals when they were on, but over recent years this has become less and less.</p>
<p>For the past 4 or 5 years I&#8217;ve tended to just watch at home on the telly, but in that time the entertainment factor and enjoyment of watching a rugby union game has as good as evaporated. I can&#8217;t remember a time in the 40 years I have been watching rugby that it has been as dull and boring as it is now and I wonder has rugby union had its day?</p>
<p>I would say the main causes of this is the professionalism, the size of players, the lack of prolonged contact and basically the fact defences seem to stifle attacking play so well, no matter which team.</p>
<p>With even more rules aout contact coming in and the fact the game needs to be made safer I can only see it getting less and less entertaining, unless they reduce it to a 12 man game and have more open play.</p>
<p>In honestly though, I don&#8217;t think this will work, the impacts are so great now I can&#8217;t see how the game can ever be as good as it was, unless they do one thing, which I doubt will ever happen, i.e. go down the American Football route and provide adequate protective equipment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s my birthday soon and short of actually just telling my family what I’d like for my birthday, I thought I’d write a little blog piece in the hope that one of my clan will read it and get the hint about what birthday gift I’m really hoping for.</p>
<p>Whilst researching new cars on the internet the other day, I came across this website which offers loads of different driving experiences. Now, I’m not fussy so any of these activity gift experiences based around driving would have me grinning from ear to ear whether it’s Lamborghini driving, taking an Audi R8 for a spin, learning how to control a skid or rallying in a Subaru Impreza. That’s getting behind the wheel of a top-notch rally prepped Scooby and driving it like the clappers. That’s the Subaru Impreza activity gift experience….is that a heavy enough hint?!</p>
<p>Joking aside, these experiences do make <a href="http://www.intotheblue.co.uk/">great gifts for men</a> (and women) who like a bit of adrenaline action. I’ve also just read that each gift experience voucher is valid for 12 months, so I can wait until the summer months come around again before booking in, which is excellent news.</p>
<p>All I need to do now is make sure I leave the laptop ever-so-subtley on with this blog piece on show, so my nearest and dearest can get the hint about what gift I’m hoping for this birthday!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a number of famous clay shooting personalities in Britain today.  Three of the talented clay shooting participants are skeet shooter Elena Little, double trap shooter Steve Scott and trap shooter Charlotte Kerwood.</p>
<p>Elena Little is a Wales based shooter who has achieved a number of notable successes in her shooting career. The daughter of Russian skeet champion Tatiana Bogdanova, Elena began shooting at the age of 14 with encouragement from her mother, before making a debut at the European Championships in 1998. This first of our famous clay shooting personalities went on to set the world record for her sport in 2005 in Belgrade.</p>
<p>A competitor in the double trap competitions and one of Britain&#8217;s youngest famous clay shooting personalities is Steve Scott. Coached by Ian Coley, this talented young shooter trains 4-5 times a week and secured a place on the Olympic squad at Beijing. His greatest success in his eyes is achieving his lifetime goal of competing at the Olympics.</p>
<p>Another talented young shooter is Charlotte Kerwood.  This is one of the famous clay shooting personalities that is inspiring other young women to participate in the sport. Following a debut at the European Championships, her first taste of success in the sport came when she participated in the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002. Only 15 years of age at the time, she won Gold in the double trap shoot. Charlotte was also part of the Olympic squad at the Beijing Olympics in 2008.</p>
<p>The many famous clay shooting personalities in the UK are an inspiration to other shooting enthusiasts and play a part in the continued popularity of the sport. Intotheblue.co.uk have been supplying a select number of <a href="http://www.intotheblue.co.uk/adventure-gifts/shooting/clay-pigeon-shooting/">clay pigeon shooting days</a> across the UK for over 10 years that have become more popular year on year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This Christmas my wife bought me a gift voucher to go on a falconry experience – and in advance of booking myself onto the day, I’ve been doing a bit of research on the internet, only to discover falconry’s a whole new world with its own vocabulary, there hundreds of falconry forums out there giving advice and lots of blog sites too.</p>
<p> It’s not just a case of getting yourself a bird of prey (or ‘bop’ as they are referred to by those in the know!), a leather glove and some bait to try and get your new friend to fly to and from you. <a href="http://www.intotheblue.co.uk/adventure-gifts/birds-of-prey/falconry/">Falconry</a> training (or ‘manning’) is a painstaking process that needs time for the falconer and bird to build up a relationship but what a sight it is when you actually see for yourself how these birds work so closely with their owners.</p>
<p> From what we can gather, the aim is to increase the distance the bird flies on the creance (the light cord used) to 50ft, before you can move on to letting the bird fly free. Of course, the lure is always a bit of food, so amazingly the weight of the bird is really, really important. If your eagle weighs too much, they won’t be interested in food, so probably won’t care less when you raise your gloved hand showing a tasty bit of chicken leg – he just won’t be hungry enough to fly to you.</p>
<p> Interesting stuff indeed and we can’t wait to get ourselves booked up and confirmed for our <a href="http://www.intotheblue.co.uk/adventure-gifts/birds-of-prey/falconry/">falconry day experience</a> – we’re hoping to be able to have a go at flying the birds as well as watching the display to see if it’s as easy as it looks!</p>

<p>After my latest episode which involved a FIAT Punto, a verry sorry old dear, and a broken house sign, I have decided this time to get a nice <a href="http://www.rusticstone.net/house-signs.htm">Slate House Sign</a> and bed it in to the verge.</p>
<p>Next time some old dear decides she would like to park her Punto on top of my sign, hopefully it will do more damage to her car than it does to the sign.</p>
