Cantonese Glamour Not Required

Having loved my times there back in the early 90s, I shed a tear for the injustice Hongkongers suffer at the brutal hands of the despicable CCP. Indeed, only recently did I meet the ebullient Harry. Once a building manager there. Now having taken advantage of the UK resettlement scheme,

Overview Overreach

Indeed, it is difficult to imagine any potential customer being riveted by how wonderful you think you are. Unless perhaps they are in the serious consideration stage of formal supplier vetting. Yet time and again,

Grawlix & Leet Your Pitch

Down the years I've blogged on many ways to make your mark with a slide. I reminded myself of another idea to implant a message with a recent post deriding the video call option gorilla that is Teams. Or as I wrote Microsoft's product name, T@#!s. I used the
