I read this article in the Guardian today and wondered if there are any dentists involved in the hair game. It strikes me that if someone has a need but they’re not sure who to trust the why not their local GDP? The same old horror stories are mentioned and Tom who was quoted inContinue reading “After Teeth and Skin, what’s next? Hair?”

The Monday Morning Quote #660
As I start continue some changes in my life this poem reflects how I believe many of us have felt at times over the past 15 months. In my case it has been the usual Festina lente (make haste slowly) as opposed to “Big Bang”. At the mid-point of the path through life, I foundContinue reading “The Monday Morning Quote #660”

Video Killed The Radio Star…oh no it didn’t.
In spite of Messrs Downes and Horne’s prophecy it didn’t. In much the same way that the death of dentistry has been prophesied many times in the 40 odd years of my involvement it hasn’t died, yet.

The Weekend Read – PAMBO by Baker & Davies
I read this after meeting Michael Baker recently and being impressed with his ideas. When he couldn’t quite reconcile existing management theories with the real world he decided to write his own practical book.

British Gas, how are Sid’s grandchildren?
#The older I get the less I understand.

They don’t care, in fact theyContinue reading “British Gas, how are Sid’s grandchildren?”
