We’ve all heard them. Those meaningless phrases peeps use to make themselves sound intelligent in meetings.
Recently, stand-up comedian Adam Hess started a Twitter storm when he tweeted a phrase that he finds always gets work colleagues on side.
Let’s see if you recognise some of the following.
It started with this… Continue reading
Easter is a time of hope. It therefore seems the perfect moment to explore the riveting survival tale of the Jewish man who tattoed prisoners at the Auschwitz concentration camp during World War 2. His story has not come to light until now because of the incredible guilt he carried about what he was forced to do to his fellow prisoners.
Let’s explore his story shall we? No spoilers, I promise. Continue reading
Are you micro-cheating on your partner? Are you sure?
Micro-cheating is a series of seemingly small actions that indicate a person is emotionally or physically focussed on someone outside their relationship. It could take place on social media or at work or within your friendship circle.

Hmmm, this rave might make no sense but here I go anyway…
I’ve just been on a mad Game Of Thrones bender. Watched all season two in one long blissful night. So I thought I’d have a go at discussing the Tarot of GOT Season Two. I won’t be able to explain everything, the tapestry is too rich, but will try to pinpoint some of the major themes and characters.
So I made the fatal mistake of letting a boy in my local video shop (yes, some of us still hire them instead of downloading them off the internet) talk me into renting the first few episodes of the TV series ‘Game Of Thrones’. Now of course I’m hooked. Hooked and repulsed in equal measure because Lord Of The Rings it is not. The good guys don’t necessarily win. Justice doesn’t prevail.
But I’m enjoying the characters. The women are unexpectedly diverse and well-rounded. And even though I haven’t quite got to the end of season one I thought it would be fun to explore the Tarot of the leads.
