I read this article on BBC News and it made me almost want to vomit. I’ve never been a fan of wooly left wing liberals. However, I find the whole thing patronising to say the least. It’s the intellectual superiority of it that irritates me- treating people like children as if they didn’t know the […]
There used to be a series of ads around the theme “Carlsberg don’t do ‘x’ but if they did it would be the finest in the world”. Well, one of Apple’s latest products (which is a little different from their normal product offering) has made me realise that there should be a phrase “What if […]
It’s been a long week and I’m very tired. Staying at a home style hotel on Tuesday made me realise just what a difference a good nights sleep makes. I rarely get one nowadays (actually never). Something in me makes me think that getting sick might be a good thing as it would force me […]
Spotted this whilst waiting for the train at Slough: Strange attraction (didn’t have time to read the profile).
I feel drained. This morning up at 5:30 to travel for work. I spent the whole train journey reviewing documents. I’m just outside my destination. I have to stay overnight (don’t have a hotel yet). It’s 9:05 and I’m already tired :(. I really hope this ends soon as I don’t know how long I […]
It really does get you down being in a grind. Last night I had a bath (as opposed to a shower), went to bed early and passed out around 21:30. Woke up at 23:00 and started thinking about the week ahead. It feels like a constant planning exercise, thinking about meetings, how to schedule people […]
No, I wasn’t at Waitrose and people got out of my way trying to buy things. In this case, there’s a fly in the room that seems to have almost radar vision to prevent me from swatting it. Now if only everything in Cambridge could get out my way so quickly, life would be less […]
… a large stomach ! I this case, going to places where the staff remember me and what I usually have isn’t always a good thing. Last night it was the Chinese restaurant, before I even sat down I was asked if I wanted a beer. This morning I went to the butchers to buy […]
It’s been a tough week. I guess I multi-task well, but when it comes to complex sets of data and analysis I need a lot of time and concentration to digest it which stresses me when I don’t have the time to do so. I’m getting more comfortable with cutting and slicing stats, but it […]
In the local supermarket just now. Queuing, some old guy no idea where he is in the world in front of me. Looking at things and paying no attention to the fact that there is a free space in the queue ahead. I go to take over his place in the queue and some random […]
