Legal Xtra by Christian Evans, Partner at Gregory Abrams Davidson

With the impending finale of the premiership season, the Champion's League final and the European Championship this summer, no player wants to end up on the physio table or starting a long stretch on the touch line with injury. Football is the world's most popular sport with over 240 million registered players worldwide and many millions who just play for fun. Surprisingly Footballers suffer more injuries than those involved in other sports like rugby or boxing, but what if the reason for that injury is due to a dangerous tackle, a careless piece of play or the referee's failure to deal with a reckless opponent. Is there a form of redress? ... Read More

Driving Tips with Derek Peers part 2

Hello again! I heard a tale of woe from a neighbour who had driven most of the way down one of those narrow roads with vehicles parked on either side, leaving no space for cars to pass or manoeuvre. She was about three houses from the end of the road when another car driven by a young man came round the corner and refused to move out of her way. He wanted her to get out of his way and she was determined that she was not going to reverse a couple of hundred yards when he was no more than twenty five yards from the junction where there was more than enough space for them to pass each other. My neighbour referred to his aggressive attitude and described him as a bully. I'm not going to comment on the rights or wrongs of the situation, except to say that common courtesy would suggest that the person closest to the junction, or indeed any space that allowed a driver to manoeuvre, should probably be the one to give way to the other! ...

Coaching – Turning your dreams into reality by Sue Connolly

The wonderful thing about us as human beings is, that even if our lives aren't as great as we would wish them to be, we have the remarkable ability to create our own imaginary world in which we have the car we want, the family we want, the fit healthy figure we want, the partner we'd like to spend the rest of our lives with and that fabulously fulfilling career. In short, we are able to dream! Doesn't it excite you when you lose yourself in that imaginary world? It creates within you the most wonderful feelings and emotions, almost as if that place was as real, and tangible as the world you do live in. ... Read More

Tax Efficient Investing Made Even Simpler by Paul Spilane

The good news for all of us is that the UK has some of the most generous tax breaks, which the government has confirmed will last indefinitely! Starting in April 2008, people can subscribe up to £7,200, in each and every tax year, allowing any gains to be free from both income and capital gains tax*. However, as allowances cannot be carried forward they must be used within that tax year or they will be lost. ... Read More

Reel Life Coaching by Lynn Anderton

So if you have always wondered what the term ' life coach ' means then let me enlighten you, like lots of other things in the UK ' life coaching ' has come here from the USA and its quite self-explanatory in that just as a coach would coach an athlete with motivation and mentoring then a life coach does just that only instead of training you for a sport you would be mentored on what you are trying to achieve from your LIFE. ...
