Do not start a skydiving business in the UK

How could you possibly make one or more proper livings out of skydiving in the UK?

Boeing Boeing

A play about a man running 3 fianceés, all of whom are air hostesses. Reasonably entertaining, but not more than, say, £30′s worth.

Riding home from London

Don’t just follow the M4. Leave at the westernmost junction near Reading (whatever number it is) and do the obvious thing: south then third exit (north) off the second roundabout, turning left into the lanes.

Just keep following the sun and you end up joining the B road from Newbury to Wantage. Marvelous!

Margaux

Great birthday wine.

Reasons people do the wrong work

Why don’t people do the right work?

  • They don’t know what to do.
  • They don’t know how to do it.
  • They don’t have the skills to do it.
  • They don’t have the confidence to do it.
  • You are in their way.

All these reasons are management failures.

The other reasons are laziness, malice and stupidity, but you don’t often meet those, truly. Most people would rather do an interesting and useful day’s work.

The Decanter Fine Wine Encounter

I thoroughly recommend the Decanter Fine Wine Encounter at least once. I’ve never tasted so much wine or enjoyed learning about it so much.

It turns out I am a “Barolista”.
