Find A Babysitter
Find A Babysitter is a great, safe place to find a babysitter that lives close by. Conduct a search for babysitters and nannies in your area and read the profiles of the available carers. It provides plenty of information on the candidates to help you make an educated choice. Great for last minute sitters or striking up a relationship with a long term employee.
Read
Mr Nice
Mr Nice is the one of the aliases of what the media call "the English Toff Drugs King of the World," aka Howard Marks. This autobiography is written in a "guy down at the pub recalling the crazy advenurous stories of his life" kind of way. Once you begin you wont be able to put it down, from his beginning as an Oxford University student, to his account of his six and half years in and out of some of Americas hardest prisons.
