Last Sunday I had a trip on the Tube to old London town. It started off relatively quiet until after two stops, a young and seemingly well dressed and respectable lady sat down on the seat behind me. You could not hope for a seemingly more peaceful traveller until one stop down the line and… Continue reading Overusing the word ‘Like’

Helping people with loans and not donations
I don’t know about you but I like to help as many people as I can. If possible then I do practical things to help like carry suitcases up the stairs on the London Underground or assisting the elderly or people with disabilities on and off buses. I do that as many people don’t… Continue reading Helping people with loans and not donations
3rd September 1939 – Britain Declares War On Germany
Today I was giving a tour of Chartwell House to two nice folk from Colorado, USA. Chartwell House was the home of Prime Minister Winston Churchill and is full of his old belongings from his radio to his cigars. Whilst we were busy enjoying the magnificent house, we came across a room-guide upstairs in the… Continue reading 3rd September 1939 – Britain Declares War On Germany
Venting spleen against the spammers
If like me, you probably get more spam than legitimate email. I’ve been on the internet since before the World Wide Web and I think I’m in the position to say that the quality of business spammers could be better. I remember when the sons of illegitimately deposed presidents and wives of deceased African… Continue reading Venting spleen against the spammers
Volleyball in a Bikini or a Hijab?
Much has been made about the appearance of the Egyptian beach volleyball team playing in the Olympics wearing the all-encompassing Hijab Islamic dress rather than the usual Bikini style outfit and comment has been made over how appropriate this is. First of all I must declare that I haven’t watched one moment of the Olympics. Partly… Continue reading Volleyball in a Bikini or a Hijab?
15 bad points about working for yourself
Having written earlier in the week on 20 great reasons you should be your own boss, it is only fair that I offer up some of the less pleasant experiences of working for yourself too. It’s not all a bed of roses. In fact, in some ways, life can be much tougher than working for… Continue reading 15 bad points about working for yourself
20 Great Reasons To Work For Yourself
Three years ago this month, I took the big step of deciding I was going to create my own business. My slight lack of blogging in recent weeks might give some indication of just how successful this has been. I really want to encourage everyone to work for themselves if at all possible. It is… Continue reading 20 Great Reasons To Work For Yourself
Jo Cox, Brexit & Haters – Oh My!
This is an unusual post, but then it has been an unusual week. They say that a week is a long time in politics but recently event hours have been a long time in Politics. I haven’t been able to write much due partly to illness, work and also the various but related events… Continue reading Jo Cox, Brexit & Haters – Oh My!
Mass Shootings in the USA are not news, it’s a chosen way of life
It’s not often that I write anything that even vaguely touches on an opinion piece but following the news of the latest in the endless stream of mass-shootings, let alone individual shootings then I thought now would be as good a time as any. I feel so strongly about this and it isn’t even my… Continue reading Mass Shootings in the USA are not news, it’s a chosen way of life
Britain and the EU
Today marks the beginning of the official British campaign on the European Union referendum of our continued membership of this pan-European organisation. I say the official campaign as in practice the debate has been raging pretty much since the day we joined in before I was even born. It’s probably the most divisive political argument… Continue reading Britain and the EU
