After all the fuss over the Election there have been many links to the Cartoon 'The Simpsons' and how they have predicted many things previous years before. 

So the Simpsons are now the best psychics in the whole entire world! It is kind of freaky if you ask me, with over eleven developments predicted years before, it is not just a coincidence. With predictions of stealing lemon trees to Trump winning the election there is nothing stopping The Simpsons!

Oh I couldn't live out there for too long without my chocolate! Major chocoholic over here and its just not the same abroad as it is here   I always struggle when I'm on holiday because the chocolate I want is so expensive!! 

I used to love the Freddo bars when I was younger; used to be 10p a bar now they're nearing 30p - I think its such a rip off now a days for some decent chocolate. I mean the boxes of lindor chocolates which are my all time favourites are like £4 a box  

They are yummy though

Its that time of year! Everyone loves the John Lewis adverts; the best way to start off the Christmas spirit. Won't be much longer now until the Christmas trees are going up and everyone is singing to the throwback Christmas songs from the 80's.

The John Lewis team have spent millions of pounds on this advert to promote it excessively, the whole Christmas campaign is said to be costing the company around £6 million pounds.

Each year the company works with a charity in order to raise awareness. This year they have used a dog called Buster and have used a #bustertheboxer in order to create a twitter trend in raising awareness for wildlife trusts. John Lewis want more children to be interested in animals and working with animals in order to improve their safety and to overall warn people of how some animals can be in great danger. 

The customer director at John Lewis said:

"It really embraces a sense of fun and magic, reminding everyone what it feels to give the perfect gift at Christmas"

The first official TV airing of the advert will be on ITV at 9:15pm tonight. Hope everyone loves the advert and is as excited as me

Yes it is for real, there have been thousands of Tesco bank users who's accounts were hacked and sums of money had been taken from their accounts. As far as I know all accounts have been refunded by Tesco however if you do use Tesco bank it is worth checking to see if you were one of the many who did have money taken from your account. 

His son looked shattered didn't he! I defiantly agree with the hair, it is probably the only good thing he could contribute; a hair cut  

With no experience in politics at all, I guess its time to prepare ourselves for what is to come

Trump wins the election!

And there were only 46 votes in it After a long battle for Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton- Trump takes the win and has now, should we say been honoured the title of the 45th President of the United States. 

So will what will he do first: According to the BBC:

First 100 days:

"Starting process of "removing the more than two million criminal, illegal immigrants"

Denying visa-free travel to countries who refused to take back their citizens

Repealing every Obama executive order

Restrictions on White House officials becoming lobbyists

Term limits for members of Congress Cancellation of all payments to UN climate change programmes

Using that money to fix US infrastructure

Label China a currency manipulator"

There has been so much fuss and worrying over this election; is it a good thing that the election is over? Does it mean no more feud for the US, or is it all only just beginning?

As our twitter trend of the day is #TravelTuesday what could be more relevant to today's forum then the new technology that is currently being developed throughout UK airports today.

So does anyone else hate it when you have to carry your heavy suitcases all through the airport in order to find the right check in desk?

Me too! 

With the new 'Robot Smart bags' that are being tested throughout UK airports there is no need to worry about transporting suitcases any longer The 'Robot Smart Bags' allow passengers to pop their bags on to moving robots, scan your boarding ticket to the machine and then before you know it your bag has been transported on to the correct boarding flight. As well as this technology specialists are also discussing the use of electronic bag tags.

Are you bored of the paper tags attached to your luggage? They are not very secure and could easily be ripped off and lost when being transported on to planes. However the new electronic bag tags are not cheap, they are based around buying a particular suitcase where as the scanner is already built in. An app from your phone can track your suitcase and see if it has gone on to the correct plane! 

How cool, don't know if its just me that thinks its cool from a tech nerds point of view but there you go. Makes travelling a bit more interesting 

What do you think?

Any Business owners or people that use Tesco bank! 

Warning here as 20,000 accounts registered with Tesco bank are gobsmacked by the ongoing suspicious transactions. With mostly online transactions, thousands of customers have had huge sums of money taken from their bank. 

There are no current speculations with what has caused this; only the obvious which is hackers getting hold of card details and spending ridiculous amounts online however the real problem seems to come about by the lack of security within the Tesco site. As a large business company they should really be head on about these type of things and be aware of what is going on online with regarding customer's personal information. 

The BBC announced 

Earlier, the bank confirmed some accounts "have been subject to online criminal activity, in some cases resulting in money being withdrawn fraudulently". 

Let this be an eye opener to business owners. When handling customer information it is so important it is kept safe under lock and key should I say. 

I hope everyone that uses Tesco bank is all OK. Worth checking out though.
