Friends, meerkats, all of you, lend me your ears, it’s Meerkat Muse time! Work it… Work it Real Good No, I am not shaking my booty or gyrating my ass, or thrusting my hips. I am quite literally referring to work. Circumstances have been quite tough of late, due to a colleague being off long-term […]
What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony? I’m pretty sure we all quietly ignore something annoying, or grating, about our loved ones and friends, for the sake of getting along. To keep the peace, we’ll casually overlook say, messy eating, or an untidy desk, or some other habit, lest an argument […]
This prompt was suggested by my wife! I cannot remember the last time that I personally put on the radio. When stuck in a five hour traffic jam with my regional manager, we listened to a bit of radio, but as it was his car, that was his choice. I have no idea when I […]
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 […]
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...
This meerkat gets nervous about a lot of things. In an upcoming Prompt, I’ll talk about tardiness, and that sort of overlaps with this. Picture the scene. It’s a busy London station, and you’ve just bundled off the Tube, and up to the main concourse. You vaguely know when your train is, but you’re in […]
