So apparently Jeremy Clarkson is ‘furious’ over someone from the BBC comparing him to Jimmy Savile. Was that person implying that Clarkson is a sexual predator – no; were they implying that he believes he has the power and influence to do or say what he likes without recrimination or negative consequences? Probably. Jumping to […]
Death of a Legend
The world is a little poorer today for the loss of the great Robin Williams – a man whose talent I have admired ever since first seeing him in the TV show Mork and Mindy when I was a child. Like his character in the film Dead Poets Society, Williams ‘seized the day’ and ‘sucked […]

Trusting My Instincts
You could be forgiven for thinking I’ve dropped the ball recently and lost momentum on the 90 day challenge – in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is, I’ve been so focused that I haven’t got around to blogging recently. I think this is a bad thing though; apart from the […]
Finding Myself
You would be forgiven for thinking I was going to get all philosophical with this post, but actually I’m referring to understanding my current online presence.

After tracking down all the info I needed to sign up, like my bank details in international format (IBAN and SWIFT BIC codes, which were […]

The 90 Day Internet Marketing Challenge
Last week, having watched a recorded webinar by successful internet marketer John Thornhill, I have decided to take one of his ideas on board and set myself a public challenge. For a while I have recognised the value of having an accountability partner, but they have only previously been my wife, or a friend; and […]
