My New Years Resolution

The New Year is always a good time to wipe the slate clean and start afresh. On a personal level many of us vow to make big changes in our lives. Spend more time with the family, lose weight, climb that mountain we’ve always wanted to climb and so on. This year however, I’ve decided … Continue reading My New Years Resolution →

A new years message

As 2010 draws to a close, rather than send loads of cards, what better way to remind all your friends that you’re thinking of them as the calendar changes to 2011. So investing in the latest technology, hiring stuntmen, rigging explosions and bringing you the best new year video ever made…

A look back at 2010

I wasn’t going to write anything about this year in terms of a recap or future predictions, well purely because everyone seems to do it and it becomes a bit repetitive. But I saw this Google video of the year in perspective and thought it’s worth sharing. – Enjoy.

UFC 124

I’ve had a pretty bad run of predicting UFC fights lately and it seemed like lady luck was against me. First Brock Lesnar got absolutely demolished and then Matt Hughes.

My my commissioner, what nice teeth you have

Having seen many prison films over the years, I know one thing. Whether you’re innocent or not, the first day you get into prison, if you want to avoid being the soap picker you have to make an example out of someone. It could be fashioning a shank out of a biro and stabbing your … Continue reading My my commissioner, what nice teeth you have →

Choosing a security consultancy

There are hundreds if not thousands of “Indian Restaurants” dotted around London. However, we all know that most of these places are not owned or run by Indians at all. You have a large number of Bangladeshi or Pakistani’s owning and managing these establishments. But for convenience there’s an unspoken rule that the owners … Continue reading Choosing a security consultancy →

It’s more than your salary

How many times has someone tried to employ you with the line "There are other things to consider outside of your salary!" Granted there are some people who agree with that statement. They’re the type of people who will view their employer as extended family and will normally be the ones making that statement. But … Continue reading It’s more than your salary →
