I use quite a good free program for formatting e-books. It may help you. It is called Calibre.

If you save your word file as a .pdf (which should keep the word format), Calibre can then convert the .pdf to EPUB, Mobi and several others including .htmlz

You will be pleased I hate cyclists and all almost as much as the road users because they go a on the pavement and knock us over, use the bliddy road you p*llocks that's why you (should) have helmets. It all came ahead today when on my way to college these I saw several incidents that made me irate with rage

1.cyclists cycling on busy pavement knock a big bloke over and then calls him a pussy (the bloke was stood up waiting at a bus stop and therefore was not moving)
2. cyclist cycling down extremely packed pavement (that was probably only about 4ft wide) ringing his bell incessantly as he charges down the pavement barging into the odd person instead of cycling in the empty bus lane which is not used because the bus service does not run anymore
3. 2 minutes later see and identical incident (as the 2nd) and nearly get hit by another b*st*rd cyclist who does a sigh of all sigh as he stops about 6 inches short of my toes was seriously considering giving him a mouthful but the b*stard had cycled off before I got a chance however at least he heard me call him a b*st*rd under my breath as he cycled away.
In simple get in the f*ck**g road or I will put you in the road. Just because you think your to cool to wear a helmet that doesn't mean your allowed to get off of the road and start hurtling down the pavement at pace barging and brushing pedestrians as you go.

I must state that all the above incidents happened today and I have seen others. I feel it is my duty to stand fast when cyclists are not on the road and only jump out of the way at the last minute (assuming they are going quickly) and let buggers know what I think off them

Rant over and people call Worthy and angry young man.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

Pleased to say I don't own headphones nor a mp3 player/Ipod and for 1 of the last 2 years did not even own a phone either.

SSE, which trades as Southern Electric, Swalec and Scottish Hydro, said the rise would come into effect from November 15, and it pledged not to lift them again for a year.

It last increased tariffs a year ago, by 9%, just before a bitterly cold spell.

The bad weather helped the FTSE 100-listed firm to increase annual profits at its household retail arm by 28% to £410.1 million as gas consumption rose by a fifth. Overall pre-tax profits in the year to March rose from £1.34 billion to £1.41 billion.

While a lot of our services are private, many of them are regulated. The phone companies for example cannot increase charges without permission from a government agency. Banks, utilities, communications companies, etc. are all regulated (especially if they have a monopoly like the natural gas company).
