In this weeks post our theme is judgementalism and the cliché - Judging a book by its cover. We feature Monday nights and Salsa, Thursday's growing weekend warm up, have an immature giggle at some poorly thought out website names, people whose parents had no thought to the name they gave their child - or did they!, look at some things which are so cute you'd want to eat them and the usual trip to Youtube.com for a selection of relevant videos for your entertainment.
TUESDAY'S KARAOKE SESSIONS:
Every Tuesday at Ten Cocktail Bar sees a night where YOU are the star in the bar! What's played and what's happening is totally up to you, whether you'd love to wow the crowd with your best Angels or perhaps a medley of crooners.
Our maestro of a multitude of musical merriness, DJ Shep, will be chucking lyrics on the various screens at Ten so whether you are a buddy Bieber or a waining Williams, we'll have the tunes to turn the beginning of your week into the beginning of a beautiful ballad.
THURSDAY'S WEEKEND WARM UP:
Thursday's at Ten Cocktail Bar are growing in popularity and with local hero DJ Ian ‘Diggers’ Digweed at the helm, bringing you the very best in R’n’B, Chart, and Dance. You can see more of Mr. Diggers on our DJ's page, which has info on all of the top quality DJ's we showcase for you.

BADLY NAMED BOY:
Being forced to go to church as a kid really wasn't something I look back on with relish, but the one positive thing about the whole situation was that the minister's name was Rev. Harry Johnson. Harry didn't seem to care the that entire world was laughing behind his back and he would always introduce himself by his full name.
So I guess the lesson for all the kids out there is that even if your name is a euphemism for private parts, you can still achieve great things in life.
More than likely it'll ruin your life before it even starts but I guess that's entirely up to you.
BADLY NAMED SITES:
You can see them now, all huddled around a laptop experimenting with different ways of naming their site. Until the top man at a launderette decides, "
lets call it touching cloth!......" Some where inside the heads of the people around him, there was an agreement that this was a wonderful name for a shop which gets clothes clean. Along these lines, there are people who haven't really read what they've written.
1. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website at
www.gotahoe.com
2. Therapists in the US merely wanted to offer troubled souls a shoulder to cry on. Let's hope their advice is not as short-sighted as whoever registered the URL
www.therapistfinder.com
3. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com
4. There is one betting site that is way out in front as our favorite. With their name they are bound to attract a lot of people looking for each-way wagers:
www.oddsexchange.com
5. "We're not just a printer," claims the American firm Tri-Plex. And they guarantee: "Short runs or long, we can handle both equally well." But it makes you wonder what kind of service they are offering from their website with a name like this:
www.triplexbusiness.com
6. If you are looking for a place to download the latest songs you might think this one is a homage to bad digital music. Mind you, the site is flagging up the new Michael Bolton album, so maybe it does what is says on the tin after all:
www.mp3shits.com
7. Law firm Morrison and Foerster have more than 1,000 legal eagles worldwide. Surely you would have thought one would have spotted the clanger in their site. They couldn't have been briefed properly that it contains a slang abbreviation for a rather strong swear word that would leave them in contempt in the courtroom:
www.mofo.com
8. This drinks franchise has spawned a host of copycat stores around the US as it attracts customers by the barrel-load desperate for a schoolboy giggle and quick slurp:
www.beaverliquors.com
9. Some say Americans don't understand irony and a site set up by Ingleside Vineyards of Virginia bears that out. They must be flushed with success if the name they chose is anything to go by:
www.ipwine.com
10. The plant-growers of Mole Station Nursery in New South Wales claim to specialise in the production of frost- hardy native shrubs and farm trees. Sounds like they are more into deflowering:
www.molestationnursery.com
11. If you need an IT professional to fix your broken PC this could be a great place to start, especially if you are having a problem with your hard drive or interruptions to your AC/DC supply:
www.expertsexchange.com
12. Looking for an actor and want to get in touch with his or her agent? Then Who Represents is a database of contact names and numbers. But the site owners may well become brassed off by some of the unsavoury clients it attracts:
www.whorepresents.com
13. The official site for Barnet Copthall Masters Swimming Club says it has a 12A rating to warn off young kids. It has all the club?s latest news. So why not a section on how to improve your breaststroke?
www.upthebeavers.com
14. A building firm based in Ontario, Canada, promises: "No job too small, or too tall." They have even helpfully included some handy pictures showing exactly how they manage to get it up:
www.mammotherection.com
15. Then of course, there’s the Italian Power Generator company…
www.powergenitalia.com
16. And then there’s these brainless art designers, and their wacky website:
www.speedofart.com
ITS SO FLUFFY!!!:
I have recently bought a cute little Persian kitten, and to celebrate her arrival I have added a little photo section all about things which need no sweetening.
SOMETHING ELSE:
And the moment I'm sure you've been waiting for, this weeks trip to Youtube.com!
In this post we look at the ensuing festive season - and as it is only mid-November, we shan't be using the 'C' word!: We bring you the winners of the FITC competition, a brand new feature to Ten's FITC - What Did You Do Last Weekend?, stroll through a look at some of the oddest family 'C' words, reveal Ten's Christmas Menu, expose the 'before and after' of photography and have a few videos courtesy of YouTube on the theme of the 'C' word.
There used to be the addage 'a camea never lies' but we all know that the trueth is always subjective, and the photographer only sees what he's paid to see. Since the wonderful invention Photoshop hit the public domain society has taken much pleasure and time doctoring images so that we see what 'they' want us to.
