It's been a long time since I heard anyone talk about the paperless office. Of course it’s a myth, always has been and probably always will be as there are times when only paper will do. What people have meant by this is a general reduction in the use of paper and a drive to … Continue reading Paperless office
Explosive awards
Other awards were available I must admit that I admire Charlie Hoult from Dynamo and the team from Beaconhouse Events, for his and their willingness to try something new. I’m not sure if anything ever phases them but they always seem to be able to adapt to changing circumstances. So it has been with the … Continue reading Explosive awards
We’re all immigrants from somewhere
Other migrants are available Whenever things aren’t necessarily going their way the government can always rely on immigration to raly its supporters. It is one of the buttons that can be pressed to incite the tame press into action. The need for people to cross the channel in dinghies is indeed an issue but not … Continue reading We’re all immigrants from somewhere
The secret future of writing
I don’t know if you caught the BBC 4 series ‘The Secret History of Writing’ but if you didn’t it is worth catching up online. It is another example of the excellent output of the channel and highlights the shame that it is now under threat. The third programme in the series featured Chinese artist … Continue reading The secret future of writing
My new-normal

Many of us will vote along party … Continue reading Vote for what you don’t want
The point you started from

When I am working on something I seek out constructive criticism, to help shape what I am … Continue reading The point you started from

Stop carping
Image thanks to Carping Cordage We’ve been told, by the leader of the House, Rees-Mogg, to stop carping on about the woeful lack of COVID-19 tests and the extraordinary lengths that people are going to get one. Instead we are told that we should be celebrating that this country has managed to create a capacity … Continue reading Stop carping
This house supports
I must admit I was a bit concerned about the #CyberFest event on 23 September. It was the first time that I had ever tried to run a debate online. I have been to a few in real life but never online and the thought of moving all those people in and out of presenter … Continue reading This house supports
