It is not because I am Irish......well maybe it is but politics aside, I was proud to see a middle aged man standing amongst the 50,000 odd crowd in Dublin this week protesting with a solitary banner "Down with this sort of thing!". I can't think of a greater tribute to writers, Graham Linehan and … [Read more...]
Depressed? Your GP will tell you apparently
You know how sometimes you are just sitting there reading the paper and you read something that makes you sigh, well i had one of those this morning reading last Sunday's Observer (the only way I can get through the pile of Sunday papers I take is to eke them out through the week).It was just one … [Read more...]
Gok Wan
I am certain that Gok Wan, the presenter of "How to look good naked" is a very warm, compassionate man and I like his public personna very much but I do wish he would stop with the "psycho babble" when he is trying to help the women on his show to feel better about themselves. … [Read more...]
Tony Curtis

Surprised how petulant I was not to get a spot on the plinth
I was surprised how petulant I was not to get a place on Anthony Gormley's plinth despite my enthusiastic application. I jumped the gun somewhat and was actually preparing my "set" before I realised that it was a possibility that I wouldnt be getting the call. … [Read more...]
Kids Skills – Great resource
I have been reviewing the Kids Skills Place Mat as a resource for working with young children and just love it. Its a great tool which allows for using Solution Focused language and approach with a very young age group.
