New Start…

Nobody is reading this (at present) so it doesn’t really matter what I write – the point is that I am starting this again. I liked the idea of the daily blog (aka Seth Godin) but the reality is he is both way cleverer than I am & has far more interesting things to say … Read more

Getting annoyed hurts who?…

The search for one…

I am not sure how long I have been doing this. It has been like it subconsciously for quite a while. I try and find 1 ‘solution’ for 1 ‘problem’ and be done with it. Examples could be a specific hair gel or aftershave. Or a brand where I buy a certain thing – phone, … Read more
