Has there ever been anything as ridiculous than having to remove 15 pillows and cushions just to get into bed? Seriously, why decorate your floor with them through the night, only to put them back on the bed in the morning?
You know the stance; either standing or sitting, often recumbent with feet up on the desk, arms raised and hands clasped behind the head. I personally do this often, whether in the company or others or alone. It has the effect of stretching the shoulders and opening the airways. Now I don’t have anything smart,...
I’m no gambler, but lets see if I can explain this correctly. The betting favourite to win a race, or any other competition, isn’t necessarily the one most likely to win, but rather the one the bookies can’t afford to win and payout on. A “favourite” is simply the horse which the bookies give the...
“This email was sent using my mobile device, please excuse the brevity of my response and any typos that may be present.” I’m starting to see a lot of this message automatically added to the bottom of emails.

I just came across this clip of me, being interviewed by the inestimable Jim Stroud. I can now reveal that the list of hats I wear will be changing, but will still include running the National Online Recruitment Awards.

So I can claim credit afterwards, or get pilloried for being so wrong, here are my predictions / preferences for the Oscar Awards, being held later tonight. I’m not big on awarding prizes for artistic endeavour, but for as long as they will have them, the industry will make a big deal of it. Suffice...
