Contacting me by mobile

I provide a great number of ways by which to make contact with me: phone, email, the various social media sites. My contact details are on my many websites, too. So, when somebody who should not have my mobile phone number contacts me by mobile I will usually ignore them and block their number. There… Continue reading Contacting me by mobile

It’s just the culture

I saw a lovely photograph of one of my daughters on Instagram this week. She was wearing a headscarf in a mosque in Istanbul on her honeymoon. We had a good laugh about it as it would certainly be a triggering event for her mother. Myself and herself are going to Istanbul next week for… Continue reading It’s just the culture

Habits need to be kept under constant review-“what’s it for?”

I am a great advocate and proponent for the power of habit. I have significant personal experience of how habit can help and harm in the course of a person’s life. For example, the bad habit I had of smoking a great deal of strong cigarettes on a daily basis for many years. And the… Continue reading Habits need to be kept under constant review-“what’s it for?”

I had purchased a Sony a6000 camera on eBay from Japan and I am led to believe, after a good bit of research, that the Sony a6000 is a great camera for a beginner photographer. I am looking forward to learning by… Continue reading I invested in a couple of Sony lenses

The biggest frustration with a conspiracy theorist

You will regularly encounter individuals online who are slaves to conspiracies. No matter what happens in the world or in their life they can easily put meaning on the event by recognising a conspiracy. I have rolled my eyes at the comments of certain individuals on my YouTube and TikTok channels but passed on about… Continue reading The biggest frustration with a conspiracy theorist

Advice for going to the WRC in 3 minutes

A chap contacted me yesterday and he was seeking some advice for going to the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC). He was representing himself and had no idea whatsoever what to expect. When I thought about it the best advice I could give him was to ensure he was able to explain his case, the basis… Continue reading Advice for going to the WRC in 3 minutes

Tell your solicitor all the facts or it could prove expensive

I have what might be described as an old fashioned, conservative view of legal costs. I believe in weighing up carefully, before embarking on litigation, the costs of doing so and what may happen depending on the outcome of the dispute. For this reason, I would be slow to commence High Court proceedings, especially an… Continue reading Tell your solicitor all the facts or it could prove expensive
