I was flicking through the newspaper on the weekend when I came across an article about Alan Jones. The article covered a number of things, but there were a couple of things which stood out. 1. He always tries to empty his head so he is ready for the next, not the previous. And I […]

On Saturday night, I watched the movie “Hangover” and it’s the best laugh I’ve had in a long time – what a brilliant movie. Anyway, without giving too much away, at one point in the movie there was a Las Vegas wedding. You know the ones… man and woman get drunk…man and woman decide it […]

A number of things were on… football… some horror movie about a crocodile in the Northern Territory (a place I lived for almost a decade […]

The phone rang at about 8:30am in the morning. It was from one of my staff members ranting, raving and screaming down the phone about the fact centre management had changed the keys and our business was under LOCK DOWN. We had spoken to them the week before, but not been able to come up […]
