I've met so many lovely people...

    Website Domain Name Transfers

    This might come in useful for people who have .co.uk domain names registered in their own name and want to move their domain name to a different company, but have been quoted a ludicrous amount of money by their current web company (e.g. £100) for moving the domain name across... If ever you...

    I'm interested to know how many people who use computers in their salons also have broadband internet on those computers. As I'm wondering whether an online salon management application would be feasible compared to a standard Windows program that you would install off CD or whatever. And if...

    Have just read this article on the Daily Mail web site, Lippygate: US election furore as Palin critics say she has tattooed lip-liner | Mail Online - where it alleges that Sarah Palin had permanent lip liner done - seems a bit immaterial to me whether she has or not - but they seem to be making...

    After getting my first ever spray tan today courtesy of Elaine (Lavender_blue), I did a bit of lateral thinking and thought of how it might be possible to use DHA (dihydroxyacetone) in conjunction with stencils for airbrushing on temporary tattoos?
