On what subject(s) are you an authority? Hmm. I don’t know. Could I be considered an authority on anything, though I dare say I am more knowledgeable than most of my circle of friends at bathroom design, and within the people I know, I am probably the biggest Nintendo fan. I could talk your ear […]
Every need a demonstration of how unchecked greed, combined with an out-of-control ego, can destroy a business? Look no further than Twitter. I have been on Twitter for over twelve years, and had many animated, stimulating discussions upon the platform. I have made friends via Twitter. It has, in the past, been a good place. […]
Recall if you will the Back to the Future films. They were highly watchable and very much a product of the 80s! Part II gave rise to some interesting ideas about what the future would look like, and whilst it would get some stuff wrong, the film successfully predicted a number of things. For example, […]
No, it’s not what you think (yes, I am looking at you in the corner, sniggering). Picture the scene. You’ve been out with workmates for a few drinks, and you are a bit merry. I have a tendency to be a happy drunk, and upon arriving home, I was indeed in a good, warm, glowing […]
I thought I’d explore the concept of conviction, and I have been largely inspired by a series of comments (see this post of mine) from one ‘Spartan Theist’. I can only imagine what long-time blogger Spartan Atheist makes of that, but then, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery, except ‘Spartan Theist’ was […]
Believe it or not, this post relates to both my professional career as a bathroom sales consultant, and my efforts to promote my book. Lately, I have been looking at how I can help my store attract more customers, and I am always looking at how to promote my book. Accomplishing both in a way […]
Those of you who have grown to know me will know I am not an especially remarkable specimen in a physical sense. The best description I could give myself would be ‘scrawny’. I do not possess big muscles, defined pecks, or a rippling six-pack. Sometimes I’ve had a four-pack, but that’s of beer, and thus […]
Sort of inspired by recent experiences, and by a chat on Insanity Bytes, I thought I would reflect upon the futility of anger in some circumstances. Anger is an unpleasant emotion. It can quickly fester into hate. Anger, left unchecked, can poison the soul. It’s a natural reaction to various events (betrayal by a loved […]
Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle? I don’t know about daily environmentally habits, but I do my best to recycle, and recently went semi-vegetarian (in that I’m cutting back on meat at home). My view is that there is nothing wrong with encouraging people to operate in […]
When we use the expression ‘reinventing the wheel’, we are usually referring to a pretty remarkable update to an existing invention. It could be argued that mobile phones are a demonstration of this; the arrival of Apple’s iPhone drastically reshaped mobile phones, and helped transform them from relatively humble devices, into machines that are as […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
