Box Your Chimp

I cheered on Ronnie O’Sullivan all the way for his fourth Snooker World Title over the weekend. As with many sprinkled with genius, he’s a fruitloop. The most naturally gifted person ever to bridge upon the green baize has shown remarkable focus (for him) since deploying the services

After The Lord Mayor's Show

So, after the Rusky and French presidents, Europe’s largest personal political mandate went once again to Boris last Friday night. Phew. London is safe for four more years. When in America recently, watching the Republicans tear themselves to shreds, I noted one particular debate question recur; Define your brand

Newton's Kicking Force

Transformational Management

A match made in the champions’ champagne lounge. Jeff Randall [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/9235204/Businesses-all-want-the-secret-of-Roberto-Di-Matteos-magic.html] talking about football and business management parallels in one article. Unfortunately, in his piece (rightly) lavishing praise on Chelsea “interim coach” Roberto Di Matteo and lambasting Barclays’ and Tesco’s leaders,

Average Number Of Questions

I heard an ad on the radio. South African insurance firm Santam included this intriguing line in their 30-second slot. the average number of questions someone asks when buying a car is eleven Then a day or two later, I heard another. In what was clearly a series. All aimed

Associator vs Dissociator

Another bank holiday weekend post. It’s a five day break here in Cape Town. I’ve been going for the odd run along the prom and like I always have done, I listen to music all the way. I find it helps get over those difficult first few minutes.
