We bring you the latest news on the upward career trategory of my dearest friend Ali Zaidi. Way back in July 2012 he made his debut on the small screen followed closely by a second advert for the UK’s fourth largest bank just over a year later. Well he has moved onto a full speaking […]
Working Hard
Great to see colleagues working hard in the open plan office, even when on hour long conference calls with colleagues based in the New York office late into our working day. At least being on the telephone, they are still involved in work (no matter how loosely) rather than passing the time by reading the […]
Seemingly Non Stop January
The first month of any year does seem to last forever. Never been able to find the root cause, probably because we all try to start the new calendar year with a multitude of plans. Many people set themselves up for failure by trying to achieve too much, too soon and with little planning. Trying […]
The Hippest Man In Cabinet
Long story but I would prefer to spare you all the details. I ended up working until gone 11pm in the office on Wednesday night. By the time I got home and started to heat up my food in the microwave, I caught the close of BBC Newsnight. This fabulous mashup video, was used as […]
The Arsenal Way
My last two visits to the Emirates have been through the good fortune of winning competitions.

Welcome to the Future
As a young kid watching Back To The Future Part II at the UCI Wycombe Six with my family back in late 1989, the concept of 2015, seemed so far in the distance. When we are younger, our understanding of time has not quite fully developed and years and decades are difficult to comprehend. (Mainly […]
Annual Report 2014
I should really publish my annual blog review report from JetPack each year, so you can see the most popular posts and comments on my blog. The overall summary is that after a poor six months, the second half of the year I kicked off and started to blog as often as I had when […]
Decembeard
Let me take you back just over three years, my first Christmas at Microsoft, I had booked off extended time over the holidays. My last day coincided with the Christmas night out in Reading, Thursday 15th December. It had just panned out that way with the Operations Team going out for a few drinks and […]
