Top Customer Service complaint of the week goes to a long-standing reader who complained there was too much preamble to the actual aspects of the week.  I have devised a simple solution, so please be patient.  Second place goes to a reader who pointed out that I did not correctly predict the Wimbledon winners last […]

I spent last week filling in at my old Office, and it’s funny the conversations that take place on the train.  Some of my various fellow commuters informed me that they didn’t like tennis, cats or biographies – all subjects I was planning to write about in my blog.  But first, the eclipse last week […]

I ought to be reporting back from the Eurovision song contest,  if you are reading this on Sunday.  By that time I will be touring Cologne,  perhaps even visiting the chocolate factory. So my account of any escapades of the phobic four won’t appear until next week or not at all, unless particularly newsworthy…But if […]
