I like the way houses are sold in the US. Every weekend you can pick up a paper or go online and find lists of ‘open houses’ to look around.
This means you can spend the day viewing numerous properties (as we did today) rather than booking slots through an estate agent.
This is something I’d enjoy [...]
We attended the Cubs game at Wrigley Field on Tuesday, and we’d like to think we’re partly responsible for reversing their eight game losing streak!
Anyway, we’d heard you could watch from nearby rooftops but didn’t realise the extent of this…
Seems the Cubs endorse it (they’d have to really I guess), obviously taking a cut of [...]

Edit: I have now painstakingly added these banners to every single post in the blog! They are also clickable and link to the [...]
So, my little experiment has concluded and the results are in! The votes are pretty evenly distributed across all the categories, with few surprises (from my perspective anyway).
