It is unwise to pay too much, but it is also unwise to pay too little. When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. It can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it’s well to add something for the risk you run. And if you do that, you will have enough money to pay for something better.

Paying too much?

Who needs headphones?
Jan 27
Well, maybe the people that quite selfishly sit on public transport delighting us with aural delights such as a screeching cat singing over the top of some bass beats from the tinny speakers of their mobile phones.
I’ve been getting more and more annoyed at this social menace recently and today read a fantastic letter in the Manchester Evening News:
THIS is a message to all those people (mostly teenage girls) who insist on sharing their rubbish taste in r&b hip hop with all the passengers on the 216 bus route every day, via their mobile phones. If you must listen to what sounds to the rest of us like foul-mouthed wasps trying to get out of a jar, then why don’t you also strap a satellite dish to your back, don a polyester shellsuit and fake Burberry cap, half a dozen cheap gold earrings and a naff tattoo and achieve your goal of being a total chav? One day, when you’re an old bint like me, you’ll say to yourself ‘what was I thinking?’Meanwhile, I’m seriously thinking of buying a mouth organ so I can listen to my own music instead. I wonder if other passengers would appreciate my taste in music?
Put old heads on young shoulders, Manchester
Well done sir/madam for rightly pointing this out to the people of Manchester.
All that’s left to say is that I would encourage those of the general public who are fed up of these youngsters to actually say something and let them know how annoying their actions are.
Britishness – It’s great!

I’ve just renewed my subscription to The Chap magazine – superb!
Amy Winehouse
Feb 24
Bit of a catch up post this, I’m trying my best to start blogging again, but time is painfully sparse right now.
I’m very at busy at work now that I have got a newish job – apart from managing On-Call, I now look after the operations project management for the divisional director. Chuffed!!
So anyway, I just wanted to briefly mention my thoughts on Amy Winehouse. She performed at the Brits twice last week and I felt so proud for her. She has a talent that should never go to waste and that is why it is disgraceful when she is compared to Britney Spears. Britney does not have a talent, should be locked up in a mental home and have her kids taken away from her…. oh wait, that did happen. On the other hand, Amy needs to be supported by everybody and encouraged to get rid of ‘my Blake incarcerated’ who is nothing but a bad influence on her.
