Around 7% of the UK workforce is now unemployed and the number is likely to continue rising throughout this year, according to ‘analysts’ or, if you prefer, people who are no better at predicting the future than you or I but who have learned how to sound as if they are! These redundancies are a statistical [...]

No 4 in the 6 Freedoms in Relationships: The Freedom to be imperfect

Reg — Fri, 29 May 2009 20:29:56 +0000

It often happens in relationships, especially after the heady days of early infatuation have passed, that one of the duo takes on the role of bossy parent or bossy teacher. Now instead of two people relating to each other as equal adults one is attempting to iron out the other’s imperfections! Imperfections, that is, as [...]

Mad PCs and the un-obvious obvious

One minute the PC was working fine and the next minute it was a if an alien force had taken it over. Place the cursor over an e-mail in the Outlook Inbox and suddenly it would speedily scroll down through every header in the inbox! My immediate thought was that some malware had slipped through the [...]

Caffeine-induced Panics

Reg — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 20:38:12 +0000

Many. many years ago, in my pre-NLP days, I was struggling to free myself from nicotine addiction. So I went to see a South London hypnotist so that he would ‘make me’ stop me smoking. He was a lovely elderly gentleman by the name of Lt Col. Crook and, funnily enough, his one session worked. And, [...]

The Apprentice: when teamwork isn’t teamwork

Reg — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 06:27:32 +0000

Last night’s episode of the BBC’s The Apprentice didn’t do any of the participants any favours – other than to make them better known to the millions of viewers. We again had a group of ruthless wannabe’s trying to prove their ability as managers, to a millionaire property speculator turned TV host. However it makes reasonably [...]
