The Chinese have been drinking green tea for more than 4000 years and claims of its benefits to health and well-being are in abundance.

Trials have found that certain chemicals in green tea shut down a particular molecule that plays a major role in the development of cancer. Statistics also show that there is a much lower rate of cancer in China and Japan than their Western counterparts.

Whether this claim is true or not, green tea is well known for its anti-oxidant properties which helps to fight free radicals in the body, and thus the popularity of this beverage has increased throughout the years as people are becoming more health conscious.

I’ve been waiting so long! It’s been almost three weeks since I ordered my new laptop and I should get it tomorrow, the last day of the expected delivery date, how typical! Is it me or do laptops just not have that long a lifespan; the battery dies on you, the monitor starts flickering etc, considering the amount of money that could be spent on one before you have to get a replacement?

If you’re like me and want to prolong the life of your laptop a little more then make sure that you keep your laptop clean. This means making sure you store it away when not in use and keeping the fan and air vents are not blocked. This in turn will keep your laptop cool which is another lifespan extender as it will keep your laptop running at its optimum and not overheating.

Also, when you have your laptop plugged in, if possible try and use a surge suppressor as this will protect your laptop from any spikes in electricity which will seriously damage your laptop.

Keep these in mind and your laptop will have a much longer, happier life!

What is it with footballers doing the dirty on their partners at the moment, John Terry has been caught out and now Ashley Cole has been caught sending 2 women text messages and also explicit pictures of himself.

what i don’t understand is why Ashley Cole would do that as he is married to the best looking lady in Britain (Cheryl Cole) and am sure there are many men that would take his place in an instant.

understandably Cheryl’s Mum and her band mates (Girls Aloud) are urging her to leave Ashley as he has been caugh previously sleeping with someone but they managed to work through it.

I hope she comes to her senses now and leaves for good.

Alexander Mcqueen has been found hanging in his central London’s Million Pound Apartment in the Exclusive Green Park area.

It has been sugested in the Sun it could be due to him not being able to cope with his Mum’s Death a week ago whom he seemed very close to.

An ambulance was called at 10am today and left shortly after with his body still being left in his apartment for the funeral company to arrive to remove it.

Post’s have been added to  his twitter account with his bad state of mind since his Mother died so this is a good indication of how he was feeling.

I was bored yesterday so decided to go and test drive the new Fiat 500 as i love the way they look on the outside and wanted to see what they were like in the inside as well and i must say i love them.

I got to go on a test drive and there is a button which you can press which makes the steering lighter for when you are maneuvering into a tight space which i thought was an awesome extra.

If you go onto www.fiat.co.uk you can build your own car online from the colour, seats, optional extras and see what it will look like online.

The differnt models are Pop, Lounge and Sport and these come in either hard top or convertable.  The Pop is the most standard one, the Lounge is £1400 extra and you get leather steering wheel, hands free, alloy wheels, sun roof and others and i would personally get this one.

Take a look for yourself to see what you would buy.

Katie Price has got married to Alex Reid in Las Vegas after only getting divorced in September from Peter Andre.

The pair tied the knot in the posh Wynn Hotel and after they were seen heading to a string of strip clubs (classy as ever i see Katie).  The pictures in The Sun show Katie with a face like a slapped asse and Alex with a big beaming smile.

I personally think it is all for publicity and she certainly lives up to her surname as they have reportedly got magazine deals worth millions for the story and pictures of the wedding and it was also filmed for her reality TV show.

I hope she really does love Alex as he does not deserve her and he is tooooo good for her.

John Terry has been caught cheating on his wife Toni with Vanessa Perroncel girlfriend of his England team mate Wayne Bridge.

It has been reported that John paid for an abortion for Vanessa after she got pregnant with his child.  The affair has been going on since November last year and he is supposedly been going to Vanessa’s house twice a week either after practice or on his way back from a game.

John will fly to be with Toni in their Dubai property over Valentines day to try and repair the damage he has caused.

Why cant footballers just keep it in their pants??

It is nearly the end of the month and I am dreading my mobile phone bill arriving. I have been abroad recently and probably used my mobile phone more than I do at home! I was getting home sick and wanted to keep in contact with my closest friends and family. I ended up having more time on my hands than planned, and visited so many amazing places I wanted to share my experiences with the people I love. Luckily for me my regular phone bill each month is not extortionate because I am able to get free minutes and free messages. I am so grateful I am able to benefit from the free SMS service my mobile provider offers. Otherwise I mobile would end up costing me a small fortune! I am a bit of a chatterbox to say the least, and my friends and I are “text aholics” so knowing I have a certain number of minutes and texts to use each month means I do not have to feel guilty about staying on the phone too long and forwarding messages I receive on to others. My mobile phone is glued to my hand and I simply cannot imagine life without it! I wonder what the y are going to think of next?

Its that time of year again when millions of hopeful singers put themsleves in the line of fire from Simon Cowell……yes  the X Factor has started!

I was there with my glass of wine,  watching with great anticipation to see which people would blow the judges away with their amazing talent, and those which would make them cringe!

As usual there were lots of funny characters and I have to say with the contestants auditioning in front of a live audience, it certainly makes the audition stages alot more entertaining in my opinion.

The X Factor has been running for quite sometime now, but the british public do not seem bored yet of the concept of finding another potentional superstar.

I like the show as it gives people an opportunity that they may never have got under different circumstance and it shows that there is a lot of good singers out there who would jump at the opportunity to make there singing dreams come true. I will be following the show right to the very end…no doubt there will be plenty of laughter and tears along the way!

Wow! did you see Usain Bolt set a new world record in the 100 metres in Belin this week? It was amazing. I was left speechless at how easily he made it look!

The 22 year old Jamaican managed to run the distance in 9.58 seconds, shattering his previous record by 0.11.

I really admire him for continuing to strecth the boundaries and push himself and achieve what might be thought of as impossible.

I hope he continues to impress us with his amazing skills and break more world records in the future.

I cant wait to see him run again! :–)
