Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s. A line from the hypothetical commencement speech, “Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young”. You may know it better as the Baz Luhrman song, “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen“. This line resided with me this week in particular when I was thankful for many of […]
Time Scales
Time as I am regularly reminded by others, is purely a human construct. A way for us all to contextualise change. Personally as long as I can remember I have been a ‘date’ guy. Linking events in my life, with music (every film needs a soundtrack) but also by global events, usually of the sporting […]
Back To The Motherland
As you read this post, I will hopefully be taking off on an Air India flight for a two week holiday back to India. It has probably been the worst kept secret of all time in our household. My Mum and youngest sister Julie, did not know that I was actually going until I pulled […]

I took a half day today, to go and catch the crucial World Cup Qualifier at Wembley with Chris. While I perhaps could have just asked to leave earlier but it is not the same rushing to the stadium with everyone else leaving work. I would much rather head over and have plenty of time […]

Friday had come around again, and I realised as I was getting ready in the morning that a week ago at the same time I was on the BMI flight to Edinburgh. Strange how different things can be, just seven days later. Work itself has been busy but I am enjoying all the challenges as […]

Suddenly in the space of a few hours, I have loads to report. Let me start with the geek stuff. Last August, I started using Technorati, thinking it would be the best way to start pushing my blog out there to the big wide world, rather than just a group of friends and people that […]

I had a package that was attempted to be delivered by Royal Mail on Friday morning. I was not expecting anything but as the package was too big to fit through the letterbox, the postman (or woman) left a card and I had to go down to the sorting office in town to collect it. […]

Another new England era started on Wednesday night with a convincing performance against Greece at Old Trafford. I have been here many times before. In the past decade I have see the debut game for the following England managers. Hoddle, Keegan, Eriksson and now McClaren. I have always seen England give an improved run out, […]
