Restaurant Air Conditioning

Restaurants that have their air conditioning set too high, make the restaurant feel like a refrigerator.

They should be aware that if I wished to eat in a refrigerator, then I would simply climb into my Electrolux and dine there.

Being British

Being British is not dependent on your place of birth, or your genetic background; it is a state of mind.

Great Lies of Today

"We welcome your review, and look forward to your report".

Great Lies of Today

"We really value your opinion"

Air Miles

What, may I ask, is the point of collecting air miles; if you cannot use them for flights that actually go to where you want to go, when you want to go there?

Non Stick Pans

If non stick pans are so "non stick", why is it that their labels are so difficult to remove?

The Purpose of Existence

The purpose of existence is to grow and develop, without growth and development atrophy and decay set in.

As such it is essential that you set yourself goals, and achievements.

At the end of each day you should be able to say to yourself, "today I achieved the following.."

The Sun

Why does the sun always come out, and shine brightly, when you are working?

Yet as soon as you finish work, it goes away?

The Vision Thing

Politicians are very fond of regaling us with their vision of the future.

Gandiose plans for social and environmental engineering are placed before us, in the expectation that we will "buy into the dream".

There is one significant shortcoming to these plans, and the politicians' vison of "utopia".

The plans have 5-10 year time horizons, yet the average shelf life of a politician is 2 years or less.

In other words the plans will never come to fruition, because the person who originated them will have gone elsewhere and will be thinking up new plans.

Twenty First Century Instruments of Torture

Voice controlled computer menu systems.

Good Manners

I cannot emphasise too strongly the necessity for people to practice good manners. Society will only function effectively, if people show courtesy and consideration to others.

Therefore, the next time that someone does you a favour or helps you in any way, do remember to say thank you.

Great Lies of Today

No one has ever complained to us before about that.
