I am not a Chelsea supporter but I have been taking a keen interest in what’s been going on there of late. The sacking of Jose Mourinho is one of the biggest tragedies of modern football, where money meets common sense with common sense taking second place!
For Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich to replace someone as [...]

No Comments »I thought I’d follow up yesterday’s caution about the importance of drinking hot liquid after a meal with today’s thought on spotting heart attack symptoms.
Again Carolyn T. Wooten advises that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. We should apparently also be aware of intense pain in the jaw [...]

No Comments »Drinking cold water during or after having a hot meal is bad for you!
Apparently the cold water solidifies the oily (or greasy) stuff you just ate which in turn slows down the digestion process. Once this ’sludge’ reacts with the stomach’s acid, it breaks down and is absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid [...]

No Comments »I will see at least four movies at the cinema next week. These are “Mirror of Beauty”, “The Kingdom”, “War” and “Michael Clayton”. I will skip “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry” and “Halloween” because they don’t appeal to me. I might possibly add “Mr. Woodcock” to my will see list, if time allows.
Ever [...]

No Comments »The suicide of someone I know quite well has actually played on my mind much more than I realised it would. The many questions as to why she did it kind of disappeared when I discovered she had been unwell for a number of weeks and had taken time off work with a stress-related condition. [...]

No Comments »From ever since I was a child I have enjoyed eating tamarind balls! Back in the Caribbean we call them “tambrin balls”, as is our way of versioning anything we use! Since I discovered a good nearby West Indian food selling shop which also sells tambrin balls I have been eating them again, just like [...]

1 Comment »I hate the fact that mobile phone companies are still squeezing us with that little trick they use of explaining to us how to use voicemail. You know how it works: you ring someone’s number and they are unavailable so their voicemail kicks in.

No Comments »It is only a three hour flight to Morocco’s Marrakech Airport from England’s Luton Airport but the difference in culture between the two countries could not be more distant!
This was the first thought that came into my head as I settled into my Mercedes-Benz driven taxi that was taking me from Marrakech to Essaouira, a [...]

No Comments »It’s very easy to get the impression that the entire world is out to get you and that you’re one person against the world! The reason for this is you cannot always tell who is really for you and who is actually against you.
In fact your worse enemy could possibly be your best friend. And, [...]

No Comments »On the way down in the lift I met a female neighbour who told me some news. “Do you remember EC?” she asked.
A feeling in my stomach prodded me that this was not going to turn out great. “Yeah,” I answered. The neighbour went straight for it: “she died two days ago.”
