If you are like me, you wouldn’t venture far in the car without sat nav. It has been a very useful tool to me, being so new to living in England I am not familiar with many of the roads.
Paul and I were attending the same meeting on Monday evening, and in conversation learned that [...]
Today, 5th of November is National Stress Awareness Day.
Whilst reading up on the subject of stress, let’s face it, we all get stressed at some point! I came across a groovy little game where you can burst balloons to chill out. If you are the kind of person that enjoys popping the bubbles on bubble [...]
This is a bit off-topic, but made me laugh so much I had to show you.
What do you do when the boss deserves a prank and you’ve got a few hours to kill? How about use up the office’s stock of Post-It notes?

There’s a song playing on Radio 2, where the chorus is “Goodbye Blackberry Way” (by Move, number one in December 1968).
Any business that’s trying to get people to switch from using a Blackberry to their mobile email device - like Nokia - should licence the song for their adverts.

02:03:04 05/06/07
That kind of stuff is really cool.
Seemingly out of the blue, Sky have written to us at home, and said they’ll no longer be charging us £10 a month just to have Sky+. Now we will get it free.
Fantastic!
I’m not stupid enough to think they’ve done it for any other reason than to keep our custom for another year, and [...]
Interesting story in today’s MediaGuardian about bloggers who are hunted down by book publishers (free registration required).
I blog primarily for pleasure - I want to share the great publicity-related things I find with you!
But I’m conscious blogging is also good for business. In the last few weeks I have received two leads as a result [...]
Following on from the man who marries a goat being one of the most popular stories on the BBC website, a sad update: the wife goat is dead.
