Pandemic of Panic

As I munched the first burger I’ve eaten in years (homemade with relish and a fab side salad) in a small cafe in Glastonbury, I read with interest and article in the Daily Mail by Christopher Booker entitled ‘Pandemic of Panic’ (p14, Thurs 30/04/09 if you’re interested).

I was struck by so much of what he was saying and suggesting about the scares that we seem to endure on a regular basis. His basic premise (and I concur) was that they all seem to follow the same basic pattern:

Orihuela

It’s amazing how easy it is to have your prejudices challenged.  For instance, one of the places I visited whilst on holiday in Spain was Orihuela – recommended by the guide book I was using as being one of the top 25 places to see on the Costa Bognor.  It’s cathedral was also highly recommended, [...]

Schrodinger’s Cat

Way back when, in my early 20’s I came across a novel called Schrodinger’s Cat – I’m sure that those of you who are interested in quantum physics and alternative states of reality may well have heard of it.  Well, it’s been on my mind for several months now – not sure why but there [...]

Totally unique thoughts

I was reminded of this reality when visiting a website I had been recommended called TUT – it’s also something I regularly come across when I’m working with clients on making the Internet a more effective sales channel.  According to research by Alta Vista, around 80% of web searches are totally unique which just goes [...]

Petrol Prices

I assume that by now, many people reading this will have received an email that is doing the rounds that suggests that buying petrol from Esso and BP is not a good idea and if we can refrain from giving them profits by purchasing at Asda, Sainsbury’s and Tesco et al we will in fact [...]

Long time no post

Well, it’s been a few months since I last put a post on the blog and now seems like as good a time as any to start once again feeding the mountain of information that is held by the wonderful, the amazing, the fabulous web!!
When I read that I often wonder what people must make [...]

Why is the world divided into 360 degrees?

I was with my husband and some friends last Thursday night and the conversation came around to sailing (as it so often does with these particular friends as they have a catamaran in Greece). While we were talking someone mentioned the phrase ‘nautical miles’, so being the curious person I am I just had [...]

I am a canna! – yes really

I am a
Canna

What Flower
Are You?
“You stand up for what you believe in, even if it gets in the way of what other people think. You are proud of yourself and your accomplishments and you enjoy letting people know that.”

I’m back and raring to go! (almost)

Well, here I am back again in the land of blogging and after reading the last post I made I have to laugh really as I’m now moved into my new home, have sold and completed on the last one and all is well – well almost!
It is amazing how things turn out.  Not long [...]
