Gaming problems

So I live in a house full of games consoles.
My arch nemesis is the xbox.

I'm a firm believer that the games people are allowed to play on them reflect in their everyday lives. For example games with violence or where you have to kill people I feel make people act irrationally in their lives when they come across difficult situations. 

The reason is feel this way is because I am experiencing it first hand with a family member.

I do not only feel that it causes violence!

I also think that it causes people to become ignorant to the environment around them and to themselves. I mean what normal person can go hours without going to the toilet and eating etc. now some people may be able to still carry out their normal everyday activities and have a few hours gaming, but waking up in the morning and before going to have breakfast or saying hello to your family, you turn on your xbox and start playing games straight away is not only unsociable but also unnatural! 

From experience I have seen someone go from being nice as pie one moment and they flying off the handle and cannot cope without life the next as soon as the internet connection is turned off! 

I'm not saying all people who play xbox are like that but I cannot understand how a piece of plastic can cause so much trouble to someone's life! 

Superdry Wind Cagoule

After looking though different water proof coats I decided that I wanted a Superdry one. I spent ages looking thorough different styles and came across the 'Arctic Wind Cagoule' which I have never seen before. I decided to do this blog as a sort of review of the coat because I have seen hardly anyone with these type of coats.


I really like the design of the coat as you haven't got the zips going down the front of it. Although getting the coat on and off is another issue, there is no pretty way of doing it. I have found that I need all the zips undone and have to pull the collar up over my head and then slide it off.

I also like that the coat is actually waterproof. I've read other peoples reviews and they've said its splash proof or spit proof but whilst wearing this coat during Bridgwater Carnival every item of clothing underneath the coat was completely dry! (I can't say a lot about my jeans or boots that I had on though!) 

The only other thing I can say I wasn't happy about is the sizing. I'm not exactly on the slim side of the scale and would put myself at around a size 16. Well the size 16 in the women's section was considered as a large and there was no way I was getting myself into that! I had to look within the mens sizes to find one that fit!

This is one of the best coats I have actually bought and would say well worth the money!
