I never usually read the paperwork that comes with credit card statements. However, flicking through a recent Virgin credit card statement, I found this: I like this way of presenting information. All too often today any information is presented in a really unclear form, but this simply describes what happens when you change the way […]
Lots of upcoming travel. I’ve realised I’m not going to be in the UK much over the next few months. Still, should keep the stress level down, save for the times having to travel through UK airports. The Virgin flight has changed to 2hrs later now (much better than 2hrs earlier once which was a […]
Alternative title: I wish everything was as simple as making bread Yesterday morning I bought some bread and had a (small) slice on its own when I got home. I realised that it tasted sweet and that once again the UK has followed the US by putting too much sugar in things. Yes, I do […]
I woke up this morning in a really good mood. I guess it’s a combination of no post-holiday no jetlag (i.e. feeling refreshed), getting a whole load of crap dealt with over the past few days due to the estate management, 2 social events last night, and decent weather ! Oh, and a finally a […]
Walking past Oxford Street recently I spotted that the large HMV near Selfridges had closed. This made it really hit home that traditional media outlets are in rapid decline.

I do like coming back after a long(ish) trip and getting all the mail into a pile and working through it:
Full size (i.e. people size) chess boards seem to be popular here in Bali. I forgot to take a picture of one at the first hotel I stayed at, so was delighted when I spotted another one at a hotel visited for lunch today: I like to use a chessboard analogy for corporate planning in […]
Why is it I’m on holiday and as usual having to deal with a barrage of bullshit and logistics ? It’s as if my whole life is some sort of bloody project management cycle, just that the project never ends ! Yes, I am good at it, but doing it bores and depresses the hell […]
Spotted this on Facebook earlier between 2 colleagues (one British, the other Asian): 1. British guy posts picture of his child. 2. Asian guy posts “Wow nobody will doubt she is your daughter!! Very cute” 3. British guy responds “Actually my son!” 4. Asian guy responds “Hahaha sorry.. He is still cute…”
