Happy New Year 2010

So I’m standing here again watching the world go by and everywhere there are chants of Out with the Old, In with the New! And I find that I am in agreement with all of them.
2009 was a non-year and it gave us nothing new or special. It was the year of Natural mediocrity with [...]


Every Sunday Has a Silver Cloud

Like many other people I felt that so many megabytes and too many inches of newsprint had been dedicated to the story of – and the reactions to – the recent London Wedding that there was nothing more to add.
But then I got a letter from my cousin Sui, a church pastor from a [...]


a new truth

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
The opening line of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice
There is a new truth today that is rapidly gaining acceptance in our digitally connected age. It is a truth that many will learn [...]


Affiliate marketing, another way

I now carry an umbrella as part of my essentials, along with my hay-fever medication, pain-killers, insect- repellant and joint lubricants.

The National lottery draw held on the 20th of December was a rather amazing affair. Saturday’s draw promised a respectable £3,503,840 jackpot, something that would have given one lucky winner very welcome Christmas cheer indeed. 
As it happened there was not one, but ten lucky winners who shared the big prize with each [...]


A drink and a riddle

I met some friends at the Coach Station one Sunday during that Siberia-like summer. My friends were tired having done the long journey from London Victoria and they were in no mood for sight-seeing. We headed straight for the pub for something to eat.
At the entrance to the pub we noticed [...]


The work-place Romance

I visited a forum discussion recently where the topic was “affairs in the work-place, are they a good or bad thing”?
I have invited Jaya Wardene one of the forum members to share with us his unique contribution to this topic. Here is Jaya’s Take:
I feel that your article will find resonance with [...]
