Top 5 tips on how to be successful at life

I've been on this earth for 21 years and I think its about time, I shared my thoughts on how to be successful. Things that any individual can do to better themselves. Even I might try it in due time. Although I think my success will come later in life, mainly fuelled by the fact that it hasn't occurred already. Well, I say that but I managed to scoop the prom king award, at the end of school prom, that's success. I won £50 once on a scratch card, that's success. I've been to many amazing places around the world, although that's mainly down to my parents success. OK, so I'm clutching at straws. Not ideal. I'm about as successful as a bag of sand. Which in a flood, is actually successful.... I should shut up and move on now.

Meal Deal Madness

In life there are many issues which need to addressed. Some easily. Some not so easily. Today I intend to evaluate the lunchtime meal deal. Yes, I've had a request to blog about this, and it makes sense as it is something that lies close to the heart (And Jack Colecloughs). I mean, if you're at work, the best part of the day is lunch. That is if, you choose the right lunch to suit your mood. If you don't, that afternoon is going to drag worse than Lilly Savage. That gag requires some thought.

Meal deals are a complex and dynamic feature of many lunchtime decisions. They normally comprise of a drink, Sandwich (or other main item) and a snack. This presents many issues along the way. Once you've chosen your sandwich, your not out of the woods yet, as then you have to choose your drink and snack. Drink choices may also be complicated by intrinsic deals or even the dreaded 'share a coke with friends', which presents a time consuming search for your name. Lunchtimes are limited. If you're easily into that type of marketing, steer clear of the cokes. Or be brave and pick up any. Most likely they'll be a 'Mandeep' or 'Sandeep', those popular names...

I don't like tea

Time for a 'how to' blog. This is how to make tea or how not too...



I lack ideas

Its official, I've been posting for a week now and it's fair to say the posting machine, is lacking inspiration. Mainly because I've had little occur in the last couple of days. And by little, I mean little. In more dramatic news though, I did work yesterday. A few things I can take away from this is not only money but that getting up at 6am near killed me, I was flagging by about 11am and could barely manage the 4pm finish on the timesheet. I am lazy.

Motivation for the Nation.... The Death of Procrastination

Everyone's revising! Well not everyone, I finished my exams at the start of May, lucky I know. But the majority of the nations students are in the thick of it. The business end of the year. Time to 'shake and bake'. Do you fall into this category? If so I would suggest you keep reading, as Chambré is about to boost your productivity better than a Yakult will boost your immune system. Bold shout I know. Revision tips are so last century, cue cards, mind maps, lists and all the rest of it. Yes, you should still do that but today I'm going to focus on motivation. Posts about tips have swamped the internet, so if you don't know how to go about revision by now, you are major struggs.

Over the bridge and far away

Its official. I've spent my first full 24 hours away from the blogging scene and it was emotional. I haven't felt a withdrawal symptom like that, since my Fifa 13 disk broke in a horrific Xbox accident (It makes me shiver just thinking about it). But fear not, the Chambré has returned and I'm reporting from international territory. Well not quite international but a place that charges £6.20 to get into the damn country and yet they still 'claim' to be part of the United Kingdom. What a joke. I pay road tax so therefore the bridge should be free, fact! There's a toll bridge near where I live that charges 5p to use it, thats more acceptable (although maybe its got something to do with the exchange rates between Wales and England). If you hadn't guessed I'm in Cardiff, visiting the GF at university. Cardiff is now commonly known as my university by my mates, because I spend so much time coming here. They are hilarious as you can imagine. #Not.  

Harriet Blogs

Hi everyone, Harriet here!

Chris has come to stay with me at uni for the night so I thought this was a perfect opportunity to hack into his blog and give you all a little more insight into the man himself. So here are 10 things you might want to know:

The summer ahead

So I've said a few things that I wanted to share with the world. Well not with the world but with anyone that's willing to listen. I feel my blog is like an old lady at a bus stop, that just wants to chat to you about a load of things you couldn't care about and yet your forced to listen. AND YOU WILL BE FORCED TO LISTEN!

However, the 8 post mark is a good point to begin another 'get to know the blogger session'. And guess what? This time round I'm sat at the dining table, watching top gear and drinking pear and apple squash (Possibly the best squash ever). For those of you who read my first post, 'Time to introduce myself', will realise that my life is very hectic at the moment hahahahahahah I joke, I've got more time on my hands than a sloth on vacation. The foundations of this blog are unfortunately built on boredom but the motivations are now of the fun it brings. I'm hoping this summer will be fun! I want to share with you the things I have planned (This 'get to know you' lark, has just got abit more serious). If this blog was a relationship, this would be the second date so brace yourselves!




140 characters that could change the world

I told you this blog was diverse. My niche is not to have a niche, which is a niche in itself. Anyway time for a useful post... kinda.

Beckham, a 'cut' above the rest

Time to gaze at my man crush. I think I speak for every living man in saying that I would love to be Beckham, he personifies perfection. The 38 year old, announced his retirement from football on Thursday, 16th May. This is big news to any sports follower, let alone a massive football fan like me, not to mention the fact I also sport his boxers on a regular basis. His boxers, alot like his career, are a perfect fit and oh so smooth, fitting round the waist like a beaut of a freekick from the man himself (This is starting to sound too seductive but I love him that much). Who'd have thought a pair of boxers could compare to this global superstar. Yes, a superstar, not just a footballer. As far as football goes, Beckham is fairly average compared to the likes of Ronaldo and Messi, but he's turned himself into more than a footballer, he's a worldwide brand. Yeah, he could ping a ball 50 yards to another players foot or swing in a worldie of a freekick against Greece (And it was a screamer), but nowadays footballers need to be more than that, maybe partly fuelling his retirement. Although hats off to Becks for playing football in America, at a considerably lower standard, then moving to PSG and competing in champions league football. If you don't follow football then let me tell you, that's ridiculously outstanding!

I've...


Speculate to Accumulate

Ok, so everybody dreams of it, earning lots of money through a lottery win or successful business. People ask me where I see myself in the future. In my head I'm thinking a luxury yacht in Monaco, entertaining my showbiz pals. In reality I'm saying project manager, top marketer... All that carry on.

Either way, on my travels around the UK and when I've had time to contemplate life (I have alot of time), I have come up with several strategies to get rich. All of which I copyright, until I've decided the most successful strategy. But I thought I should share my initial thoughts.

Translation Issues

I've just realised that the title of my blog, a pun on my surname Chambers, may be misleading any French people. Yes, I'm trying to cater for all nationalities and would appear I'm failing badly :/.

This isn't the urinal, is it?

If like me, you read a lot of news, then the world will seem a depressing place full of murder, rape, torture, Beiber and a whole lot of paedophiles. If like me, you'd rather enjoy a good laugh instead of the misery, not that I don't think that these stories should be reported, then YouTube is the perfect escape. Some of the videos you'll find on there are hilarious but also some are bloody awful.


IM A SUCKER FOR SOME COMEDY *especially the stupid stuff*

Chambré on Campus

As my second year at university has drawn to a close, I feel it would be useful to blog on how my expectations have compared to what it has been like in reality. Yes, I've started a new blog and my first genuine post is aimed at being useful, which is all an elaborate ploy to get followers, then I can start chatting about all the random crap that's floating around in my head and preech it to the masses (I joke).

Time to introduce myself to the 'boggling' blogging world

So I've finished university for the summer, none of my friends are home and I'm sat on the sofa watching Top gear on Dave, whilst demolishing some hummus with cucumber sticks. I have a part-time job but there are literally no spare hours going which isn't ideal, so I guess this only leaves me one option, its time to start a blog. 

My name is Chris, I live in Oxfordshire, I'm 21, I study marketing at Liverpool John Moores University and have just completed my 2nd year. I have a placement year lined up so will not graduate until 2015 and I have a girlfriend called Harriet. Oh and I support Liverpool FC, although that's easy to forget given how bad they've been the past couple of seasons.
Brilliant, thats the admin out the way and I think it would be fair to say that you know me well enough now to read the rest of this post and maybe even my blog right?...
