Not only am I having a day out of the office tomorrow, if I ever get home tonight, I’m having a total computer embargo. Need some time to think and wander around some stuff. Have a good weekend and here’s a picture I like, just because.

While tidying my desk, I found this old cutting from a newspaper about age and sex. A global study (doesn’t say by who or what for) using 30,000 people (doesn’t say how they were recruited) has found that over 40’s have the best sex. Since I’m 33 and feeling it, I’ll welcome this new knowledge…

I can’t get home. The cursed weather has blocked off all my driving routes home. Good excuse to stay late and do some work, but first I’m going to tidy my disgusting desk. I’ve already posted in Lets See what Happens for the first time in months.

There’s a fascinating debate over at Adliterate asking if blogging is killing planning or not. It’s developing into a facts/logic V ideas and intuition debate. From my point of view, I like planning blogs because: a) Most good planning blogs don’t just talk about planning, which makes it a great source for finding thoughts to…

Apart from calling me cool, in her comments on the John Steel post Carol wondered if John Steel began to explain what planning really is, and if it’s at odds with the realities of where some of us work: "Do YOU think he explained what ‘account planning’ is? With all this talk of not being…

This evening’s Northern Planning get together has been cancelled thanks to the stormy weather buggering up all forms of transport. We’ll do it in a couple of weeks or so and let everyone know. I’d polished my bald head specially too.

Beeker’s done a far better representation of last night than I. I’ll go back to nonsense about tea and swimming.

Another reason all that training was worth it. Did all 195 steps, not even out of breath. Only thing I had time for last night, I just wanted to feel that overwhelming rush of humanity you only get in London (if you live in England). By the way, it’s so much milder down there. People…

So I did a flying visit to London to see John Steel’s talk on pitching. While I didn’t have time to catch up with some people while I was down there, I was hoping to bump into some familiar faces at the event. Carol was one, but she couldn’t make it. So for her and…
