I hate victims who respect their executioners

You’re always a day away….

There is no reason to put off what you can achieve today. Life is finite. Every second that you prevaricate is wasted. Every moment that you hesitate is lost. You and only you have a responsibility for your actions. Your inaction is also your responsibility...

Webbed feat

So unlike the Institute of Recruiters, the CIPD actually managed to launch a website yesterday. All I can say is…. 1-0 to the old skool…… Is it any good? Well first impressions of the home page are that a four-year old has imbibed a...

The secret of happiness

What you do doesn’t really matter. If you stopped doing what you do, the world would not end and the sky would not fall in. You are busy driving yourself to an early grave fulfilling unimportant man made tasks that have no sense, reason or importance...

London, farewell and cheese…..

It is Friday and I’m writing a post. I never write on a Friday….well almost never. But yesterday was so full and busy that I didn’t have a chance. Yesterday afternoon was spent at #truLondon where I participated in a track with Laurie...

Why O R?

5 people myths we need to blow….

1) Employees are not just a means of production - Let us stop talking about the nebulous concepts of employee engagement. People are a resource, that is all. At the root of this is a fair deal for labour, you provide that and you have a quid pro quo....

The ladies of pleasure….

I’m not a huge fan of Valentine’s Day if the truth be known. I’m not against expressing love or taking time out to think about the special person in your life. But I am against the way that 14th February has essentially become one commercial...

The strength to be different

Hey….how are you? How is Tuesday treating you? A big day or just another boring midweek? I guess that is for you to decide. You’ll be surprised at how much you CAN decide. The world is full of people who will tell you what you can’t...

New kid on the block

When I started blogging a couple of years ago, one of the things that really frustrated me was the ability to find new blogs and bloggers. Getting onto Twitter was a help and led to me finding a number of other blogs. But then the other problem was keeping...

Last word

Just a short one from me today…I’ve been away all week on business and I’m running out of things to say to people having been shaking hands and kissing babies for what feels like forever. The observant amongst you will have worked out that I don’t normally...

Tru Blue

Those of you that have been hanging around here for any period of time will know that, the start of my relationship with @billboorman wasn’t the smoothest of beginnings. I wouldn’t have included him the category of one of those people who I was supposed...

Fate mate

Your flexible fiend

So I know that sometimes I have the tendency to be a little provocative. Sometimes it takes an extreme position to tease out a proper exchange of views. Sometimes you need to agitate, to provoke. But sometimes, sometimes I actually write what I believe...
