Observations on the world and its inhabitants
I’ve been up to no good as usual – exploring the thought processes of the good and great. It’s been a fascinating time, lurking among the most intelligent group in the country. And whaddayuhknow – they are very much plebs at heart. I have conclusive and hard evidence in my hands! I’ve seen them in ...
It has been a terribly busy time. 'Some' immediately know, "..making money hand over fist" etc. It is so amusing how people get ideas in their heads and before long that turns into reality. But strange is it not - that when it comes to really big ideas about making money 'hand over fist', I ...
I realise that I haven’t said anything on this blog for quite some time. I’ve been busy elsewhere of course. I need more hours in the day! Each year grows more and more interesting and challenging. The years seem to pass by even more quickly than before. 2016 was a most interesting year. As 2017 ...
Today I’m motivated by an online conversation with a colleague to write this. In essence, he’s a successful financial trader by his own one method. Over the last few months, I’ve been sharing different methods, with a well declared intention not to change his. Over several months I basically get a few stock responses. The ...
I’ve decided to create galleries for all my words in pictures and other pictures, starting with this one below. For those who will claim or assert IT incompetence, each of the pictures are clickable. After that left and right arrows on keyboard may be used to scroll through all pictures.
As usual this post is based on my personal and professional experience of people in situations. I don’t care what’s written out there on the net by some lot of gurus. Why? Because it is my experience given here!! I’ve read from the gurus already for over 25 years. As I’m about to get told ...
It’s one of those posts again. I just realised – even more – that the human being is content to live in a dream world. What’s that – somebody is bound to ask. Ok – so let me distract myself to explain. A dream world is one where your own reasoning matters the most. You ...
I continue to despair for the human race. They seem incapable of distinguishing what is fact from what is inference. Yes – of course that is a generalisation. I can’t deal with each human – some 6 Billion of them! Get real. If Joe says that Jane says – does it mean that Jane said ...
Over the last year I’ve become amused by some responses I’ve had when I send e-content by email to others. The content could be links to videos or webpages. A typical list of responses: I’m in a conference in Australia. I’m on the beach. I’m out shopping. Will read it later. Will check it later. ...
Negative things are often avoided by lots of people. Everybody likes a nice positive story. But it’s strange though, how bad news sells more than good news. Talk to the media houses. So at least people say to themselves and others that they don’t like negative stuff, but they’re all tanking up on it in ...
In short don’t mess with The Captain’s time and money! And don’t expect him to just roll over, sulk and not return. See TripAdvisor report or not – it’s a very long one and contains extreme detail. Your cure for insomnia perhaps.
“Sympathy may twist logic but it cannot alter the laws of logic and the laws of physics.” – Captain Walker (July 2015).
Just watch this conversation below which happened just a few minutes ago. I think I have a problem. I’m being hounded by idiots!! Caller: Hello how are you? [In a polite tone] Me: Who’s calling please. Caller: Xxxx from [whatever ] Me: Someone from your organisation called yesterday – I don’t think it was you. ...
What if one day you suddenly had an awakening that you weren’t the person you thought you are? Suppose that you found out that your thoughts and feelings were being controlled or manipulated from a source other than yourself? And that all these years you didn’t know about it? You now wake up to a ...
The more I look at and think about so-called ‘social media’ the more I come to some very different perspectives (in general – meaning exceptions excepted as you might expect). 1. Social media is more about prying on what other people are doing. 2. People comparing themselves with other people. 3. Living in separate worlds ...
It’s just hit me again – another thing that’s been at the back of my mind. It’s these words ‘it’s complicated’. And it’s hit me because I had just reviewed an item, I had purchased on Amazon about which somebody else said ‘Very good but complicated to set up.’ Look, it doesn’t matter what the ...
As on a lot of occasions I come to blog something, it’s been at the back of my mind for some time and then it certainly hits me. Yuh know, like it’s some kind of build up inside. Calm down – does it have to be anger? Does ‘build up’ necessarily mean some sort of ...
Recently I’ve become re-addicted to Star Trek Voyager. In fact I had not seen Series 5 to 7 so it was just great to catch up. Voyager is like no other Star Trek spin off. Those who still recall and admire the original Star Trek and can’t unstick themselves from Captain Kirk, Dr McCoy and ...
“Champion your mistakes. Don’t let them determine you.” – the infamous Captain Walker (May 2015)
Even if you’re in a minority of one, the truth is still the truth. – Mahatma Ghandi
This morning I got off a plane at London Gatwick and from there these thoughts come to be generated. I missed a bus to take me to my flypark hotel where my car was parked, whilst I was vacationing in the Caribbean. I didn’t think it was cost efficient for me to wait an hour ...
I just realised that I haven’t blogged on this site for some time. It’s been an intensely busy time. I’ve not even been reading what’s happening much on a certain Rock. Hmmm..’he must be distracted by something pretty big’. Sure. I’ve been at work and at play!! LOL. Well mostly play. Well sort of I’ve ...
Well, well… what’s this all about now. I’m afraid you’ll have to read on. And if your dog needs a bath (and I don’t know if you who reads this has a dog and I couldn’t care less), then go bathe the dog! What do people not get? Better jobs Better lives Better partners Better ...
Most people these days grumble about their financial situation – unless you happen to be Bill Gates or Richard Branson – but they aren’t most people. From 2006 to now, I’ve found that when I get down to making suggestions to people who definitely communicate a need to improve earning capacity, I get told something ...
I never read English Literature in my early days. That’s sad. It was a choice between ‘Sciences’ and ‘Literature’ – a very sad bifurcation over which I had no control. However, now in these later years I can appreciate what I missed. “To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether ’tis nobler ...
These images immortalising people will remain so long as this race survives. Sad.
I often hear things of that nature from people e.g. “I’m not a computer person”, or “I’m not a driven by money sort of person”, or “I’m not a Nigela Lawson fan”, or “I’m not a Paxman person”, or “I’m not a Russell Brand person” or “I don’t like Tory philosophy whatever that is.” The ...
I’ve been thinking about my use of the words ‘the humans’. It seems to suggest that I’m an observer of them – and not connected to their kind. For sure I do feel that way a lot of the time. But looking back as to how I came to step out of ‘the frame’ and ...
I sometimes become despondent about the human race – for a number of reasons. I think to myself, that people of average intelligence surely must be able to read, understand, and apply some logic to what’s going on. Surely that sort of activity is what differentiates us from all other animal lifeforms on this planet. ...
LiveFyre Sidenotes have been installed on the site. Tough – no tutorial on this. You know the magic words – ‘Google is your friend’. This post is just to ensure that I’ve stated the bleeding obvious: 1. With each opportunity or power must come proportionate degrees of restraint and responsibility. 2. Sidenote garbage to this ...
