Stadium Arcadium
$9.95
Four-year career hiatuses followed by sprawling double-albums could spell trouble for a band of the Chili Peppers’ stature: consider they’d originally recorded enough for three discs. The restless, trouble-plagued outfit that helped break alternative rock into the mainstream with a potent fusion of punk ‘n’ funk in the ’80s finds itself two decades on almost completely devoid of the former’s ener…

Do we pay more or are we just paying for the name?
Have you heard of the old saying “buy cheap buy twice”
Well that’s what I have been trying to find out, is this always the case?
Quite often it seems that being careful with your cash it does not necessarily mean buying the cheapest things. Sometimes the dearer option will last far longer or perform better. So in the long run it works better to pay more.
In the case of many items such as quality building materials, energy saving appliances, good quality furniture and even quality organic food I would be happy to spend that little bit more to get the best.
This is not always the case though.
I cannot for the life of me understand why it is that parents will spend pounds and pounds on childrens clothing when they are only wearing them for five minutes.
I know there is a lot of pressure from children on their parents for the latest branded clothing or trainers etc but more fool the parents for caving in. If they are really that desperate then I would suggest that children are encouraged to save or even earn some extra pocket money to get what they want. That way they will be sure to appreciate things so much more and probably care for their hard earned goods a little better.
Mind you I really don’t blame the children its down to the parents. Very often they must be seen to be “keeping up with the Jones’s” and feel the need to show everyone that their little cherub is dressed in the latest gear! It then usually runs true to form that the kids will expect to get what they believe to be the best designer clothing.
Even further down the line there is this dreadful trend that the so called “celebs” have for dressing their poor unfortunate dogs in all manner of ridiculous “designer” clothing. But then I suppose if these women have nothing better to spend their money on then let them. On the other hand I guess a lot of the celebrity footballers make quite large sums of money from wearing promotional merchandise etc for companies but that goes hand in hand with their careers.
