Only the last decade or so, have I finally realised that I have this peculiar knack of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or worse still acting in a manner which I think is perfectly acceptable only to find later that my choice of action was exactly the opposite of what others expected of me.
My wife Deborah, usually predicts with uncanny accuracy what is going to happen, but only on rare occasions do I choose to follow her advice.
When I have shared my latest anecdote or episode with friends and colleagues, it has provided them with much entertainment. However, after a while, I tend to forget that the event even happened at all, well until my wife (who has the memory of an elephant) reminds me.
So in an attempt to aid self-improvement, I have decided to record them here for posterity. It is said that those who ignore history, end up repeating it. So I hope to use this blog to learn from my own mistakes and misdemeanours.
I've wondered for a while why people choose to 'blog' - is it self indulgence. It seems a luxury to be able to spend an hour or so a day recording what today's sandwich topping was. I don't plan to write a daily account. Here, I will only record the major bloops.
Problem- I can't think of anything funny to write now. So here is a video that should entertain...
