    Feeling a little sore, are we?

    There was a great story this week about a young lad who has sold his Smartphone app for “many millions of pounds”. It’s a great success story.

  • The nose has it

    The nose has it

    I’ve been offline a bit recently. Let me tell you my story…

    Last Monday (the 18th) I was sat at work, idly chatting to my manager. Suddenly he tells that my nose is bleeding. I look down and there’s bloody all over my shirt. I hold my nose as prescribed but it doesn’t want to stop. Soon a first aider appears and then another (all giving me conflicting advise, I should add). The blood just won’t stop so they decide to get me to the local A&E – my manager kindly takes me. It’s about 5pm by now so it’s busy in A&E. In fact I spent hours sat holding my nose and when I’m finally seen it’s stopped by itself. After a Doctor has a quick look and confirms that it’s stopped they send me a home – I get a taxi. Next day my wife takes me to work.

    All was fine. Until Friday.
