Rants!

Social Networks and Parental Responsibility

Discussion Points Rants!

I promised myself I would rant less – it’s not good for my blood pressure and, I am led to believe, scares the local cats and dogs.  I made this promise to myself yesterday – and now today I’m going to have to break it.  I heard something on the news this morning which almost [...]

Discussion Points Rants! Reflections

Be aware that this post contains what my Gran would call ‘language’ and I have edited some of the emails quoted to protect the innocent (or should that be guilty) but the context and tone have not been changed in any way.
A friend sent me an email today with the heading “…………dismal……”  It contained a [...]

The Death Of Common sense

March 5, 2008
Discussion Points Rants!

Life has been a bit hectic of late, and when that happens I find myself getting short tempered and even more grumpy that usual.  However sometimes it produces a more philosphical mood – or like today a combination of both.  I know it’s difficult to imagine but it happens.

February 18, 2008
Rants!

I wrote a post a few days ago about Guru Spammers misleading people. I am printing an email below which was forwarded to me by a friend and it is exactly the sort of c*** I am talking about. Talk about blatant untruths! If you receive this email be aware you can [...]

Online Marketing Rants!

OK boys and girls, be warned – this may well develop into a full scale rant and its long. I only have a small head of steam at the moment but writing about this is liable to send me to somewhere approaching volcanic on the scale. What has driven me to this? [...]

Do you want to be mediocre?

Discussion Points Rants!

It will not stop me from writing and thinking the way I do to cater to a supposedly unintelligent, mass market composed of individuals that cannot make up their own minds. I can make up my own mind, how arrogant of me would it be to suppose that you are any different? It is time we took a stand against this rising tide of imposed ignorance.

Cut the C*** – It’s OK To Make Money!

Online Marketing Rants!

What I am going to say here is probably going to upset some folks, and some will no doubt think I’m a money grabbing meanie who would sell her granny….. but I am sick and tired of our own mealy-mouthed, double standard attitudes to who we are and what we are doing. It goes [...]

Discussion Points Rants!

I am feeling sorry for myself today – this is not a normal situation for me, it is something I rarely indulge in. This state of affairs has been brought about by the fact that I have a chill, not a cough, or a cold but an old fashioned chill brought on by being [...]

Reflections on Manners and Being Taken For Granted

November 20, 2007
Discussion Points Rants!

It is not unusual for me to rant,  in fact when I really get going I’m told it can be quite entertaining – unless you are on the receiving end that is.  This, however is more in sadness than rage though that statement seems to invest the event with more importance than it is probably [...]
