In my humble opinion, everybody should have a blog! I suppose you could consider this the contemporary equivalent that everybody should write a novel. While the barriers to getting a book written and published have reduced in recent times, it is still far easier to setup a free blog and be up and running within […]
Start Spreading The News
“Long overdue”, the words of my boss’s boss on feedback from my trip to the East Coast this week. Further confirmation (if it was ever needed) that meeting my colleagues at our corporate ‘mothership’ in Islandia, Long Island, should have happened a while ago. Travelling on business may sound glamorous but as I have to […]
The Road To Glory
It was just your average Thursday morning, as we drove out of our estate. We were listening to Radio 1, nothing out the ordinary and in the back of my mind I was thinking of what I had to achieve, once I was in the office. I noticed a number of cars parked up at […]
On The Ladder
Alongside getting married, getting on the property ladder are one of those life milestones. You truly have arrived in the world as an adult if you have a mortgage to pay and henceforth a little piece of land to call your own. Before I go into the main feature, let me start with a brief […]
Annual Report 2015
With now only hours remaining of 2015 time to give you access to the Jet Pack Annual Report.
Experimenting
As you may have noticed, decided to install a new theme onto my WordPress site this Sunday afternoon and have spent the last few hours, tinkering with the colours, formats and layout to try and achieve my goal. Ultimately if somebody has taken the time to find my personal blog, they need to be able […]
Unmasking DG
Been a daily reader of the fantastic Diamond Geezer blog for over a decade. I stumbled on the daily East London-based diary from a link on ArseBlog way back in February 2003 and discovered he was doing a Count. Based on the famous Seasme Street character – Count von Count. I have the utmost respect […]
Silly Season
August is a strange month of the year. With the height of holiday season, work takes on a dramatically different outlook. Many people are on holiday and countries around Europe effectively shut down for a minimum of two weeks, majority for the entire month. The office becomes a ghost town, with many people away, particularly […]
Addictive Podcasts
Sometimes I am late to the party, very late, but this does give the added benefit of being able to ‘binge’ listen. On 14th May I came across an article on The Guardian website and was interested to find out more about the Serial podcast, so the next morning I downloaded all twelve episodes and […]
Holiday Mode Shopping Music
H&M has become the perfect retail destination prior to any holiday. To be honest, before I met Michelle I never considered the clothes they produced, although it was and continues to be a regular haunt for three of my sisters. However this post is not about the good quality clothes produced by the retailer, instead, […]
