It is an undeniable truth that the content on your website is never up to date enough. It is a constant battle to keep it relevant and on message. No matter how long you pour over the detail and how good it looks at the launch, when you go back you can always find something … Continue reading Maintaining the website
I am the law
Image thanks to HipWallpaper Help me, I’ve fallen through the looking glass and ended up in a world that no longer makes any sense. Up is down, backwards is forwards and everything that used to make sense no longer does. The latest wease by the Prime Minister, to introduce an Internal Market Bill is just … Continue reading I am the law
That’s logistics
My first proper job was in logistics, even if I didn’t realise it at the time. We called it distribution back then, yet on reflection it was there that sparked my interest in having the right product at the right place and at the right time. Even today I maintain the passion, despite having worked … Continue reading That’s logistics
Mass extinction period
It ain't coming back Scientists have warned that wildlife is in catastrophic decline, with populations falling by two thirds in the last fifty years. We are in the sixth period of mass extinction that the earth has witnessed but the blame for this one can be placed firmly at humanity’s door. It won’t be long … Continue reading Mass extinction period
It’s all at the Co-op

For those of you who may not be aware of it, the Co-op has decided to stop advertising in The Spectator because of its transphobic articles. The Spectator got its dig in first by banning the Co-op from … Continue reading It’s all at the Co-op

Putting the events on takes some effort and I am glad that I have some help. Clare at Beaconhouse Events helps me … Continue reading Are we going to go back?
Being on Team A
Somehow I got involved in a Virtual Community Panel for Not-Equal. How, I’m not so sure but perhaps from when I was involved with them as part of #CyberFest and the North East Initiative on Business Ethics. Not-Equal is a network which brings together researchers, communities and partners from industry, public and the third sector … Continue reading Being on Team A
Replayed
We’ve been played. We’re still being played and they will keep doing it to us as long as it works. Despite the enormous problems in the world we are easily distracted by something farcical or irrelevant. Our eyes are diverted from the real issues of the day. This has been going on for years but … Continue reading Replayed
The day after
I was having a nightmare! Not only had I lost my broadband (as I write this, ten days later, it is still not live) but the cursor on my beloved chromebook kept freezing, to the point that I had to send the whole thing back to the manufacturer (as I write this, ten days later, … Continue reading The day after
Coffee at Pink Lane
At all costs we want to stir up some sort of feeling in others. Our soul abhors a vacuum. At all costs it longs for contact - Hjalmar Soderberg, from Doctor Glass. It was good to meet up with Mike again. I have known him from my days at North Tyneside and we make the … Continue reading Coffee at Pink Lane
