I think the government had a ‘nudge unit’ in 2010. Pretty sure Labour we’re using that approach in the late noughties.

Best of luck Barry with the online therapy. I started last week, mainly phone calls but some video calls. It has gone OK so far, happy to be able to offer a service (I work for an IAPT team), although this may […]

I just assumed that people were stock piling loo roll because they were working from home and therefore had more time for onanistic tendencies. And if that’s true then it means that there are a lot more wankers in […]

I said to Mrs. Paws yesterday that when all of this is over we will go for a long walk in the country, stay at a nice hotel, drink champagne, make love and then eat in nice restaurant. She said that she’s 80% in […]

Watch and listen and (I suspect) feel that no one else knows they are using the service. Had a look at webex, which looks good. Just hoping that it is idiot-proof!

Probably. I need something that others will be anonymous on from each other and preferably they don’t have to log into. After that it’s all presentation and slide show (I suppose).

I felt the same about ‘My Family’ and ‘Not going out.’ They all got re-commissioned, but I have no idea how.

Any top tips about a webcast right now would be very useful. My boss has just asked if I can set up an anxiety management group, and as we can’t use our usual venue (or all sit in a room together) it would seem to […]

That’s a good point about 111- it’s very busy. I’ve been told to suggest using 111 online, which is less oversubscribed for now.

Meanwhile, get well soon. I hope the symptoms stay mild and you can enjoy your […]

Here’s a link we’ve been giving out at work. It has some good advice-

Sorry to hear you’re struggling, it really is the toughest. I had a day in work today, but it’s back to home working tomorrow.

With YouTube and what not we can still watch the things that help (sport, gigs, […]

If you’re out in public I’d suggest this-

Keeping two chevrons apart

M&S does seem to be the sensible option. They had Canada Dry and carrots, which was a bonus.

It’s a top, top tune. Great stuff. I would also recommend the ‘Instanbul’ song.

All out of hand wash in my local sainsbury (be it standard or antibac). Interestingly they still have shelves of antibac washing up liquid (surely the same stuff) and soap. Didn’t dare look at the loo roll section.

The refrain to Crazy in Love by Beyonce comes in at exactly 20 seconds. Confused a few people at work this morning when I started singing that in the bathroom.

“Every second counts when I am with you. I think you are a pig, you should be in the zoo.”

For heaven’s sake…

Great podcast. I was lucky enough to work with a soundfield microphone back in the early nineties (before I do what I do now). An amazing bit of kit. I suggested we stick it on a drum kit and I think it sounds […]

Thanks mate. I’ll download that for work tomorrow. It could be a quiet day!

I would love to hear the Delgados album podcast- one of my absolute favourite albums. Big fan of Dave Fridmann’s production on that record and on a whole host more at that time.
