There’s a particular type of middle class Glaswegian (person from Glasgow) that I absolutely despise. The main trait is 100% absolute selfishness that one can only compare to the contempt people had for peasants back in the Victorian era ! In this case we have 2 businessman on Easyjet flight 215 today (4th row from […]
For some random reason this came into my head…. Funny thing is, I didn’t even like the ad at the time, but for some reason it seems really funny now !
Hectic week. Nothing interesting to report. Spent 3 days working at home to avoid distractions, solid in Powerpoint working on presentation for Asia beginning September. I’m doing a keynote speech in Taiwan and Shanghai so felt I had to make a real effort on this one- especially since I know some of the other presenters […]
Finally finished after a day in PowerPoint. I feel as though the past few weeks have been Outlook and PowerPoint with nothing else. I bought a copy of Illustrator last weekend for the purpose of trying to do better diagrams, but haven’t got around to it yet.

I know there are apps out there that prevent you from texting people, calling ex’s etc. Sadly there isn’t one that prevents you from make public representations to the Cambridgeshire consultation on “Gypsy and Traveller DPD” when there are plans to site a […]

Queuing I of course got stuck behind a set of people wanting to buy something difficult. Burger King… they sell Burgers not Ice Cream !. As I was frustrated a girl serving on another counter […]
Last week was totally horrible in terms of workload and travel (about 4hrs sleep each night), hence the lack of postings. A hectic week with a meeting in Prague (ended up out of the country for just over 24hrs). My only tourist attraction in Prague was the Subway across from my hotel (as I needed […]
Housing BluesWe’re now ca. 6 months down the line and the silly covenant on the house I want to buy has yet to be lifted. Yes, only in the UK could you be in a situation where there is a restriction imposed on a property that says it can only be sold to someone of […]
When the leaflets about Swine Flu were published last month I happened to make a ‘joke’ to people about parents organising ‘Swine Flu Parties’. Of course I was only joking and didn’t think anybody would be so stupid as to actually do it. Well, BBC News this morning reported that people are organising such parties- […]
