| With Facebook You Get Without Asking When a snot-nosed and wet behind the ears 23 year old tells the world at a media junket how the advertising industry needs to listen to him, you wonder what authority he has to do that.

| Obesity Is Not Our Fault Anymore - Really A news headline on BBC’s daily newsletter practically jumped off the page at me. It says that ‘Obesity ‘not individuals’ fault’. And it continues with the first paragraph stating that individuals can no longer be held responsible for obesity.... ( added 323 days 15 hours ago.) |
| Thanks For the Ride As experiences go, this one was quite something. Having spent almost ten months working at it, when it finally happened, the results were quite different to what I had expected. Possibly even slightly bizarre. There I was, prodding the sleeping... ( added 329 days 11 hours ago.) |
| In Support of Good Governance In Africa The Ibrahim Index of African Governance, sponsored by prominent business man Mo Ibrahim, makes fascinating reading. The results have just been published.
