Mobilising the UK's mobile forces

Guru was just about to go into a high-powered meeting with his khaki-wearing importers of Bolivian... ahem... commodities, the other day when his decidedly very old, brick-like 'mobile' telephonic device began to rub his leg in a suggestive manner while blaring out some obnoxious ring-tone designed by disgruntled - and no doubt deaf - Finnish...

Stomach-churning decision-making genius

Guru was just pondering just what exactly it is that makes great leaders tick, when a rumble in his tummy alerted him to the fact it was time for an iced bun and a cup of java. However, just as he was about to answer the call of the colon, his eye was attracted to the fact that David 'just call me bellyboy' Cameron, also listens to the call...

Internalising workplace woes works wonders

Guru never imagined he'd be saying this, but Nick Clegg is a bona fide genius. Inspired by the Insipid One, Yours Truly has bought in to the intern system in a big way. Previously only used to exploiting young Bulgarians, Yours Truly has been really getting into the spirit of things and now has 4000 interns working for him - doing everything from...

Big science gets airing in Daily Wail

The Daily "Rail-against-it-whatever-it-might-be-grrrrrr!!!!" uncharacteristically slipped easily into positive mode when it published a story about getting distracted by humour on the internet being good for productivity . Allegedly, boffins from Copenhagen (that's in Denmark) found that when distracted by a funny video before being asked...

Cops go back to the future to fight crime

News that the UK's Police Service is keen on improving the intelligence of serving and new officers can only be a good thing. After all, the service has a murky history of killing the wrong Brazilia n and, in the immortal words of Mr David Bowie " beating up the wrong guy ". However, Guru notes that in unveiling plans to bring the force...

Guru launches App as bully-bashers see red over GingerBooth

Being a big technology fan (NOT), Yours Truly was slightly confused by all the fuss from anti-bullying campaigners who have been lashing out about the the new GingerBooth App , which is apparently some kind of device for making 'a picture' of a non-ginger person... um... ginger. Quite why anyone of sound mind would want to do that is beyond...
