Feet on Seats

I do not want to sit next to a gangly youths sued shoes, plonked on the seat next to mine on the train. Why do they have to put the feet on the seats on trains? And then compound the problem by telling his friend that he omitted to put on deoderant? Ok so his enterprising friend then produced a can of Lynx from his bag, only to spray himself, his friend and me. I'd rather suffer BO for one train trip than Lynx for a whole day!

New Zealand

I was watching a show on TV about two lovely guys who started a campsite on Harris, the Scottish Island, to visit their site click here.

It's such a lovely life, or so it seems, they had money worries they probably had arguments, they probably had days when it was bad. To many New Zealand looks like a place that you'd never come back from, look at the photo! But you know there were days when it rained, and rained and rained. There were days when it took me an hour to get over the bridge because the traffic was so bad. Money was tight, its an expensive place to live. It is a long way from any where. Yes it is simply stunning in parts and I guess if we had owned a camp site on the South Island and taken a 180 degree change in out lifestyle we may have stayed. Perhaps our mistake was to try and do there what we do here. In the end our parent our here, our culture is here our hearts are here in the uk. I love taking the girls to the tower of London, I know about it and the people who lived there. I loved the culture of the South Pacific but I love baguettes, cafe noir and pain au chocolait , it doesn't make me french!

Now I am faced with doing here what we should have probably done there, in New Zealand, what enterprise shall I choose?

Waiting for Nothing

All it takes is an acknowledgement, just a well mannered email to say that we are still considering your request or idea. Even a Yes or a No - something. Anyone familiar with NLP will know that there is no such thing as no reply, as a no reply is indeed a significant reply in itself. There is no such thing as no communication. This leaves me with a real sense of what did I do wrong or what's the matter with me - at least it could, I am strong enough to actually think, rude bastards, you don't know what you are missing.
One day I will stand proud and will say my piece, and woe betide anyone who didn't reply.

SO...

I am 50, it was my birthday on May 7th 2009 and I have reached that milestone. Now what? Is it 50 and beyond or is it 50 and beyond me? I guess the latter because...

I have more drive at 50 than most of the 20 year olds who work for me.

I know more about computers than anyone in my office yet they all treat me like I listen to a wireless and don't know an wii from a wee or a twit from a tweet.

I also seem to have a capacity for detail over and above almost anyone under 35. This makes me think they are a pain in the arse and makes them think I am an old fart. The fact is they don't seem to care, I do and I am, of course, right.
