Back in September I wrote a little about something I've been dealing with for the last four and a half years, a chronic back pain condition which developed after a relatively minor car accident back in 2006. Looking back, and this is not meant to sound in any way trumpeting, I was on a roll... Continue Reading →
Business: Is it possible to ‘like’ recessions, as Anya Hindmarch controversially claims?
There's been an interesting furore created this week by handbag designer Anya Hindmarch, one of David Cameron's newly appointed trade ambassadors, who said in an article: 'I quite like a recession, weirdly. Generally, for business, the recession has obviously been hard. But I think often a recession is a very good clean-up time. It makes you get... Continue Reading →
Project Green Tea – Lush menu gets a great M.E.N review
Delighted to read the review of Green Tea in tonight's Manchester Evening News, they gave the new menu a resounding thumbs up.

Maybe it's a man/woman Mars/Venus thing because I don't know many women who salivate with delight when the conversation turns to sound quality,... Continue Reading →
Property: Honestly, Chef Ramsey, it’s not just you getting screwed…
Blimey, if banks had ears, there'd be a set burning bright scarlet this week. During several conversation with property players and professionals, my eyes have widened at the venom out there in the property marketplace and beyond for this big player in the UK market, good god, how short do they think people's memories are?...

Design: Manchester’s best bus stop – guerrilla decorating
I've heard of guerrilla gardening (and done a bit myself) but this is a new one for me - guerrilla decorating! There was no clue as to the whys or wherefores, but don't you just love the way a frustrated interior designer has given this bus-stop in Rusholme the changing rooms treatment. Ok, the wallpaper...
