Well, I enjoyed that debate last night, especially the first 45 minutes which was on International Affairs as it was billed. Why it went back to questions which were very similar to the week before, I do not know. That disappointed me. What tickled me most is that last week Gordon Brown was doing everything he could to cosy up to Nick Clegg, but this week he was attacking him at every opportunity. If the country cannot see through how duplicitous and abhorrent Gordon Brown is, then we deserve everything he has brung and will bring. I actually have quite … Continued

So the theme for Cocoon Ibiza this year is ‘Party Animals’. Some people question why a club night should have a theme – isn’t all about the music? Sure, it would be nothing without the music but I’m all for a little silliness and entertainment, whenever I go to Cocoon especially in Ibiza, there is always something going on around me, it is impossible to get bored, always something to look at – whether that be new dancers, crazy costumes, videos, lighting effects, Sven being…well…Sven. And this encourages the crowd to be more entertaining in themselves too. And it makes … Continued
Brilliant, just brilliant. Following some religious guy in Iran accusing women of causing earthquakes by dressing immodestly, a group of women (numbering 35,000 on Facebook as I speak) have decided to show their cleavage on Monday 26th April 2010 to test the theory to see if their boobs can cause an earthquake. Or Boobquake as it is to be know. Unfortunately with approximately 32,000,000 women on the planet, this means that currently only approximately 1 in 9000 women will have their breasts pertruding in a pleasing manner. However, given that it going to be lovely and warm here on Monday, … Continued
So Nick Clegg has said that Gordon Brown is “a desperate politician”. Tell me something I didn’t previously know. But it means that I finally can say “I agree with Nick”! The main thing that worries me about the sudden popularity of Nick Clegg is that it means a hung parliament is a much more likely outcome than an outright Conservative victory. However, Nick Clegg previously said he would work with whoever has the greatest electoral mandate – and Labour have the 3rd highest at the moment. As much as I want a clear Conservative victory, I am not totally … Continued
I am increasingly convinced that as time goes on, many more questions will have to be answered as to why the panic over the volcano was so necessary and ended up causing so many problems, damaging the profitability of airlines, damaging an already weak economy, stranding hundreds of thousands of people across the world. We are not without precedent in the modern world. I have not yet died from BSE, the Millennium Bug or Swine Flu. I am confident that I could have got on any aeroplane over Europe and survived (maybe except really close to Iceland). I believe that … Continued
Are you interested in who else reads my incredibly inciteful writings? Probably not as interested as I am, because I am a little bit of a geek at heart. But I’m going to tell you some stats anyway. In total I have had up to 18th April 2010, a total of 140 unique visitors. 21% of visitors come from the links I post to my Facebook wall. 27% come directly to the blog. 7% found the blog on a Google search – the remainder came from listings on blog sites. The most unique visitors I have had on a single … Continued
You don’t need me to point out that right now one of the major news stories is the after-effects of the volcanic eruption on Iceland, called Eyjafjallajoekull. No I have no idea how to pronounce it. And yes I copied and pasted the name rather than learned how to spell it. I am concerned about the loss to the economy about the on flying. Yes, there have been incidents in the past where engines on aeroplanes have cut out when going through clouds of volcanic ash and they had to be rescued from certain disaster by excellent piloting skills. There … Continued
Well surely you have all been waiting for my comments about the leaders debate? Unfortunately it isn’t too controversial or weird, but I still feel it is my duty to tell you what I am thinking after the debate – in the same kind of way that Gordon Brown feels it is his duty to lead the country. Ie I want to produce a review for the blog, although other people would be far better than me at it, but as I have chosen myself to do it, it has become my duty to do it, so I must carry … Continued
I badly wanted to avoid listening to an hour of why we are so good at our jobs today so I could continue to enhance the customer experience whilst optimizing my influence on our cash-flow. I don’t want to appear ungrateful for the efforts that have been made, however after 6 years of Credit & Collections experience and a Business Studies degree, I feel that I am aware of the importance of the department I work for in the running of a business. I also want to avoid attending the Quarterly department update this afternoon as although the figures will … Continued
It seems a lot of people are following some made up group of people called the Myans who predict that the world will end in 2012. Well I can tell you they are wrong. It will end on 4th July 2032. I have believed this for 20 years. I know the truth. My long-term weather forecasts are pretty good so there is surely no reason not to believe me? I can also predict, with some accuracy that I will be rather trashed on Saturday 10th July 2010 when I attend Cocoon In The Park, in Leeds (buy your tickets!). Who … Continued
