Roz Savage – Ocean Rower – “I Am What I Am”
I became aware of Roz Savage about 12 months ago. To describe her as an adventurer hardly does her justice. In 2005 she left her job as a management consultant and started a new life by rowing across the Atlantic. She has followed that by starting a row across the Pacific and last year sheContinue reading “Roz Savage – Ocean Rower – “I Am What I Am””
Why is the NHS so?
I have an eye infection, I became a ware that the upper lid of my left eye was swollen on Monday evening. I rinsed it with Optrex on Monday and yesterday (Tuesday) but the lid stayed red, swollen and sore and overnight it worsened. So this morning I rang “MY” medical practice at 8.35 toContinue reading “Why is the NHS so?”
Seth Godin – You Matter
Another great blog post from Seth Godin. You matter When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter. When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter. When you leave the world a better place than you foundContinue reading “Seth Godin – You Matter”

Neil Jordan’s film wasContinue reading “Indulge Me…..4”

The sidestep, according to Gerald Davies, is “The Small Man’s Revenge”. Here are some of the greatest sidesteps & swerves – everything that makes me proud to be a Welshman when rugby is played.

The Today Programme – BBC Radio 4
I have been listening to the “Today” programme since the Brian Redhead / John Timpson days. They are running a viral marketing campaign with a “behind the scenes” mini-doc. I’m pleased to join in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVeSPyAp8aU
TED @ 400
Today I withdrew from this year’s London Marathon, my knee will not get better without rest it seems. I am sorry not to be running primarily because I will not be raising money for The Alzheimer’s Society but also because I enjoy the challenge of competing against myself and the sense of achievement of completionContinue reading “TED @ 400”
