Donovan provided backing vocals on “Billion Dollar Babies” (maybe everyone know, but I didn’t).

I had 500+ bootleg tapes I colelcted over the years, mostly via swaps with other collectors. In truth, most weren’t really worth the cost of the cassette, but once you started trading it was hard to stop. I’ve […]

I have a colleague who loves such sessions. Perfect for the intellectually incontinent he always has to tell us – “there’s no such thing as a bad idea”. And he always proves himself wrong.

I often wonder how brainstorming occurred before post-it notes were invented. And colored sticky dots for voting.

It’s doesn’t need translation. You can see it for what it is – well some of us can – a deeply unpleasant attempt at public humiliation. Stewart has at least had the grace to apologize.

He pushed back very effectively. Glamour magazine have since pointed out that the video is edited, and Stewart’s hissy fit lasted much longer, seemingly prompted by Stewart thinking Corden was pulling faces b […]

The critical bit is not where the people are, it’s where the info is. That’s in a database, and that’s accessed by the laptop, same way it would be in the office. My access to data is identical at home as it is the office.

It’s absolutely the case that it’s not for everyone. For my company the default is the office but if the job content suits, and the individual wants it, 2 or 3 days a week at home is possible.

Your sit […]

It’s not just employees seeing improved productivity. Microsoft has miles of data based on the utilization of their products.

Hybrid working isn’t permanent working from home. It’s splitting time between the two. And it’s hybrid not full remote that the vast majority of employees want.

Unacceptable behaviour is unacceptable wherever […]

I think there are a fair few Tory donors in the property and service sectors where return to work means return to profit. As ever, just follow the money.

Tuned down, slowed down and all the better for it.

One to avoid – Lulu. Just a bad idea from beginning to end.

We’ve got managers arguing that it saves them nothing because the offices are already there and the fixed costs remain the same. But there’s a few where they are short of desk space and so want to use hybrid work […]

It’s a corker of an album albeit outside the typical AW’s comfort zone.

There’s more than a few businesses happily lowering service standards and pocketing the savings and blaming the pandemic. Quite a few have also been caught totally flat footed in terms of their ability to cope […]

The legal compulsion to send “non essential” workers home forced most employers to engage in an experiment that could otherwise have remained decades away. As with any type of change, it immediately had it’s fans […]

True enough; anyone could be having a bad day and then gets coated on the internet for the rest of time. I’ve also told the story here before about Dave Gilmour – told a mate of mine to fuck off when he asked for […]

In the days when I used to travel a lot for work, I was chatted with a driver who had opted for boring airport runs with even duller jet lagged blokes like me rather than the round the clock rock n roll […]

Another here that read Halford’s book without being a JP fan. He doesn’t take himself too seriously but it struck me that an awful lot was left unsaid around his time out of the band and then KK’s departure. As […]
