Low Power From Now On! Yesterday, when I was writing about saving a tree I had forgotten that Irem and I have been busy doing our bit for the environment. The last time we were at Ümraniye Carrefour we stocked up on low energy light bulbs and this week I have been busily installing them. [...]
I’ve been planting trees, apparently! A special delivery van recently wended its way to Amos to bring me an A3 sized certificate, printed on recycled paper. What had I done to deserve this honour, I wondered? Nothing more, dear reader, more than having money in the bank. Apparently by investing in this way my bank [...]
Plain Sailing At The Family Business School, Despite Suffering With The Flu! Despite suffering with flu, and also buried in the chaos following the redecoration of the house, and replanting of the garden, I’ve slowly been working on The Family Business School web site. The desktop computer is out of action, but the laptops are [...]

The Family Business School Holding Page The response to Irem and my appearance on HilalTV has been phenomenally encouraging.

Rich Schefren the Internet based business guru has just released another of his free reports concerned with the reasons that people fail, (or succeed), in business. In a smokescreen of reframing and redefinition pegged to an historical account of the rise of technology and communication Rich is declaring the information age to be dead. Instead [...]
I’m Helping My Bank Thrive, Maybe? Damla came to have lunch with us today. She has a bad back, and a computer that won’t play the visual part of her new ‘Law Of Attraction‘ DVDs. For some reason whenever she comes here she insists on speaking solely Turkish, which in effect excludes me from the [...]
Manifestation In Action? Regular readers will recall how last year my account on the Amos Estate was shown to be 500 YTL in arrears when in fact it has always been paid up in full. The matter was an accounting error and has now been put right. This month the accounts stated that I was [...]
Damla’s Doll from the Turko-Syrian Border. We’ve just returned from supper at Damla’s. A fine malt and half a bottle of Turkish Red later I find myself in a mellow chord this evening. Damla has just returned from Syria where she was detained for six hours by Syrian customs officials for questioning. It was not [...]

A New Picture For My Ecademy Profile Some of my regular readers have started to e-mail me to ask why the flow of regular postings have been interrupted lately. I can tell you in one word and that word is Ecademy. Ecademy is a networking web-site for business-people. I like the idea of networking between [...]
Did you know the rules of C. V. writing have changed? Employers no longer wish to see stodgy, irrelevant information presented in a uniform format that looks like the architecture of a spreadsheet. They require spark, originality, simplicity and honesty. Writing a good C. V. is a specialist skill and you should consider employing a [...]

Usually I’m not a joiner, but I’m not a loner either! I just don’t care to be organised although in the past I created a project that connected customers of Barclay’s Bank together in what might have become a thriving economic community. Some years after I left to live in Turkey Barclays scrapped the idea, [...]
You may have thought that yours truly has been a bit lazy not posting entries, for the past few days. Well it may seem like that but in fact I’ve been following up on one of last year’s stories, which was about a historical events of epic proportions. You see Peter and Pat are here [...]
Exmouth Market London WC1 There are two ways to travel the world: by foot, plane, train, ship or bus, or by boat or car! If you travel by foot, plane, train, ship, or bus you will meet real people living in an apparently real world. You can ‘experiment’ with being sociable, hear new stories, imagine [...]
Holiday Magazine A year ago I was criticising the Editor and Publisher of Holiday Magazine for using an unauthorized photograph of Amazon for an article about sun-burn. I still feel that the picture shouldn’t have been used because it implied that Amazon isn’t properly protected from the sunshine by us. The magazine has come a [...]
In Internet Marketing circles there is much discussion about such topics as conversion, squeeze pages, up-sells and similar techniques. Software has been manufactured that scrapes the content from other peoples web sites and serves it up on other web pages in response to Internet searches. Marketers know scientifically how many people are likely to buy [...]
e900photography.com is packed with highly specialized content, but was not ranked at Google After receiving yesterday’s inspiring audio-product from Jon Andersen and thoroughly reviewing it I have been left almost numb with ideas for using other peoples writing, and also cannibalising some of my own earlier work. I’m not going to let the cat out-of-the-bag [...]
Rich is, I believe, an incredibly talented young man and I am not so much ‘pissed’ as disappointed. He has made several fortunes both in conventional and on-line business. Recently he has been selling an elite coaching based upon his knowledge of business systems. The free stuff he’s been giving away is wonderful. So why [...]
There is a popular misconception on the Internet today that if you buy an e-book, or DVD on how to make a fortune on-line you must succeed. It’s probably true that if you follow the advice in products such as ‘The Rich Jerk‘, or even a free manual such as ‘The Work At Home Mother [...]

If you agree that this web site is a scabby, thumb-twiddlin' rag; written by a testy, grumbling individual who is inclined to praise the way the world was when he was a boy, whilst always playing the critic and censor of the current generation. Then why not recommend it to your friends, or if you prefer, your enemies?
