It's quick and easy when you know how
Article Abstract:
Developments over recent years have made it extremely easy to purchase shares in the UK, even for people with no experience at all. Many share dealing services, stockbrokers, banks and building societies offer special terms to investors who register with them, and some companies also offer execution-only dealing by telephone. Someone considering buying shares in British Energy, for example, could put them into a Personal Equity Plan (PEP), and would therefore benefit from tax-free gains and income.

Coming out: it's as easy as ABC
Article Abstract:
Coming out as a lesbian has been a very positive step for actress Ellen DeGeneres. However, it does not seem to have attracted a larger audience for her television show 'Ellen.' Indeed, it may even have damaged the show's ratings. The episode in which the character Ellen actually came out attracted very large numbers of viewers, but since then audience levels have been in decline. It appears that viewers in the US are not keen for DeGeneres to continually flaunt her sexuality through the show.

Casting off from the easy life
Article Abstract:
Ms Parrott has lived on a boat for 20 years, first on a narrow boat and then on a barge. She likes the freedom and friendship of the lifestyle. Limited space means dual purpose furniture and equipment. She has mains electricity when moored, but finds it more important to mend a faulty engine than the washing machine because the priority is to be on the move. It is a hard, physical life but romantic and relaxing.
