“Do you not run out of topics to make videos about?” That was the question one of my employees asked me a few years ago when she discovered I had a YouTube channel. You could pose the same question in relation to my websites/blogs which cover legal and business topics. The answer is “no”, you… Continue reading Your own publishing company to enhance your business

The midterm elections in the United States-an appalling vista looms
The midterm elections are on in the United States next week and they are being labelled as a “fight for democracy” by the Democrats. If you were to listen to the vox pops of Trump and Republican supporters at the various rallies being held around the United States, you would have to agree.

Why I publish videos which should hurt my YouTube channel and displease the algorithm
“Keep making the YouTube videos, even the ones about baking the bread”, said a client to me on Friday as he left the office. Yesterday, I watched a video by a guy on YouTube about why he was deleting his viral video which obtained over 18 million views. He rationally explained why he was doing… Continue reading Why I publish videos which should hurt my YouTube channel and displease the algorithm
Elon Musk behaving like a 19th century slave owner
Elon Musk’s decision to treat Twitter’s employees like modern day slaves without a particle of respect or dignity was noteworthy yesterday.

“Travels with my aunt”, by Graham Greene
I am listening to “Travels with my aunt” by Graham Greene at the moment and I would recommend it highly. It is beautifully written in the unique Graham Greene style and is tremendously entertaining, and uproariously funny in places.

I gained a little over 60 new followers/fans so that was a good outcome. I have also received a few email questions from persons who… Continue reading My First TikTok Live
I can’t stand whingers
I cannot stand whingers. The whiney, whingey, demanding, entitled attitude is one to which I am a complete stranger and cannot fathom. But I know they are out there, in their droves. I encounter them regularly on the various social media platforms on which I engage, especially on my YouTube channel. I love YouTube and… Continue reading I can’t stand whingers
In praise of a Bus Eireann driver
We went to Dublin yesterday on one our occasional jaunts to the pub in “town”. We get the bus up and back and don’t have to worry about drink driving. We have a few drinks in “The Oval Bar” on Middle Abbey Street, a short stroll from where we get off the bus on the… Continue reading In praise of a Bus Eireann driver
