Before I tell you about this video &#8211; another I found lurking in my office &#8211; I should tell you about something stupid I nearly did.
A year or so ago I got my trusty partner Al to make me list of all the words you can&#8217;t use because the dreaded spam catcher will stop them [...]]]></description>

Some spend their money on fine wines. Others go cruising or skiing. Still yet others invest in rare motor cars, paintings and antiques.
But what money I have left after my last divorce (score: Wife 34; Bird 0) tends to flow in the direction of my dentist, the worthy Tariq Idris. My bridges, implants, flying buttresses [...]]]></description>

Today I read of the death of a Malaysian filmmaker I had never heard of before.
Her name was Yasmin Ahmad. She made a very short (3 minute) very touching film not long ago, to be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mJ9BBXQ7d8
She was not too popular among the rulers of Malaysia; and the older I get the more I [...]]]></description>

Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins says the apprenticeship scheme fronted by Lord Sugar has wasted millions of pounds and left thousands of young people out of work.
The programme has cost £2.85m, but of the 18,000 vacancies it has advertised, just 1,185 have been filled. That&#8217;s an average cost of £2,405 per apprentice**
Mullins, who is a [...]]]></description>

My friend Andy Owen, speaker, copywriter extraordinaire and good pal sent me this:
&#8220;The budget should be balanced and the Treasury should be refilled.
Public debt should be reduced and the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled.
The assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.
People must again learn to work, instead of [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s no secret that the newspaper industry is in trouble. Advertising revenue is going down as fast as a well-paid call girl.
It&#8217;s the internet what done it.
Now that everyone expects to get news and information free on line, why should they pay for a paper? Newspapers haven&#8217;t been able to work out a new way [...]]]></description>

I only know two Donald Trump jokes.
One is a book he &#8220;wrote&#8221; called The Art of the Deal, which was dreadful. The joke was on me because I have a horrible feeling I bought it.
The other is about his approach to deals.
A girl sees him in an elevator. She is thrilled to bits.

One of my colleagues wrote to an internet firm misnamed Articulate to ask three very simple questions.
This reply came back from some wench in Customer Disservice:

For over ten years, at varying intervals, I wrote a column for Marketing magazine.
Such are the vagaries of human memory that some people still think I do – even though I haven’t for nearly ten years.
Eventually I wrote something so rude about a friend of the proprietor’s that they fired me, and I was replaced [...]]]></description>
