Shoulder back!

I congratulated myself yesterday when I realised that I hadn't felt any twinges in my left shoulder area for ages. These are due to sitting badly.

So, Sod's Law being what it is, today I am sporting a strain in my left shoulder area.

How do these things work? What law of nature and/or science is at play?

How about this then?

Isn't this nice of Pamela?

I am currently studying finance and I found your website <http://www.duncanwil.co.uk/invapp.html> http://www.duncanwil.co.uk/invapp.html extremely useful. It was much easier to understand that all the textbooks!
 
I typed in "Capital Investment Appraisal" and it was there on the first three hits.
 
I just wanted to take the time to write and say: Thank you!

Too close ...

Doesn't the phrase "too close to call ..." Get on your nerves?

It's fine for Americans but as a Brit it grieves me to see such informal language being used in supposedly high quality writing.

The name's Bond ... Duncan Bond

Small things: went to the British Embassy in Dubai this morning to organise a letter and they use one of those ticketing machines they use at the Waitrose deli counter.

I got there at about 0740 to find that my place in the queue was ... wait for it, 007.

There you go! Recognition at last for my derring do!

Brown should not be there anyway

I've said it before and I will say it again: anyone who actively seeks political office or appointment should automatically face a lifetime ban from politics.

Gordon Brown is at the head of such a list.

So many self selecting wastrel people in politics all over the world show that I am right.
