7 Reasons To Love The Letter B

7 Reasons To Love The Letter B

1.  B is for Brilliance. Don’t take this website as evidence. Take a look here and here. It is all around us. Brilliance is good. Without it we’d be distinctly average. And no one wants that. 2.  B is for Britain. Yes, I am biased (and not just because I feel the need to be given the subject of this post), but Britain is the best country in the world. It has history. Spectacular geography. Culture. Art. Morris dancing. Cheese...

7 Reasons ‘Last Christmas’ Is The Greatest Music Video Ever.

7 Reasons ‘Last Christmas’ Is The Greatest Music Video Ever.

1.  The Set-up. The start of the video could very well be the start of a James Bond film that stars Jennifer Aniston. Two jeeps pull up in the snow. A door opens. A man gets out. He turns around.

It brings order to the chaos of your mind. You won’t embarrass yourself again. 2.  Stationery. A list gives you a chance to use those highlighters your grandparents bought you five years ago. And the A4 pad. Andthe gold star stickers. And the 23...

7 Reasons To Love Monday

7 Reasons To Love Monday

1.  It’s a fresh start. It is to the week what New Years Day is to the year. Full of hope, expectation and Great Aunties singing Auld Lang Syne. 2.  Sunday was so quiet without the letterbox flicking open. Now it’s Monday and the post is arriving again. Who knows what will arrive. Unless you are in the UK. In which case everyone knows what will arrive. Sod all. 3.  It’s not a day for work. Monday is spent talking about the...
