Friday Afternoon
Just winding down for the weekend. Don't want to start any of the things that are on my 'to do' list, so thought I would blog.
Just been reading this Call Centre blog. Hilarious! Having spent many hours in these places over the years this is spot on.

Isn't Science Great?!
According to the New Scientist, some bods at the University of Westminster have discovered what most women knew already. Men inflict greater pain than women.!
Apparently they worked this out by putting peoples fingers in metal clamps!. I bet the're getting the mantlepiece ready now for the Nobel Prize!!

Lennox Lewis
Big boxing news today is that Lennox has retired. When I lived "daarn saarf" he lived just round the corner from me and once overtook me in a blue Ferrari on the Barnet to Potters Bar road.
Also respect due to The Messiah, Bob Stokoe who passed away this week.

Once again I am inspired to blog at a random interval. Many years ago in my early internet days I used to like Dack.com and especially the web economy bullshit generator. So I was thinking about this today and decided to see if he was still going. He is, but his site is now the RationalEnquirer, which appears to be everything you ever wanted to know about the real motivations behind the war on Iraq.

Some fantastic futurology from Thompson the Travel Company. Apparently, we will all be holidaying in pods by 2024 or something like that.

Back at work for two days now. Have not felt well all week.
Anyway, my business prediction for the New Year is a continuing trend in the politely termed "offshoring" - that is the process of moving jobs from high wage economies (here) to low wage economies (there). As a starter how about Levis closing their last US plant .
Or Barlcays Bank agreeing a deal with Unions to switch some of its staff abroad.

Happy Xmas !!
I am sitting in an empty office catching up with work. How depressing. I have a deadline of the 31st December for this particular report. What kind of sick individual sets that kind of deadline!
Anyway after much searching I eventually tracked down the address of the French National Football Academy. My New Years resolution is to get the football coaching and strategy back up to speed.

Welcome New Reader!
As I know that I have one new reader, I thought I had better post something as it has been such a while. Nearly two months in fact!
I have done loads since the last post: had a birthday, been to London a couple of times, been to the Stadium of Light a few times.
I went to the Theatre Royal again to see the Royal Shakespeare Company in Measure for Measure which was excellent. Saw the most drunk man ever in the bar there.
Saw kids using their picture mobiles to take photos of footy players rather than getting autographs which has stuck with me for some reason. Apparently this Christmas picture mobiles are really kicking off.
I'm going to get one.
