STOP BULL FIGHTING
This week a video was show across the world of a poor bull taking a huge leap into the crowd of people watching a bull ring in which young men taunted the bull to chase them. The bull did not want to do this, and was frightened by the noise of the baying crowd around him. Fight or Flight a natural response...the bull did not want to fight and chose to flee, no animal except a traumatised one would make that extra-ordinary leap. It did not mean to hurt, but the poor thing ended up tied and shot...for what escaping his torturers. Sham on you. Stop this obscene sport now. The bull was a magnificent animal, his DNA is lost to the future of his breed.

TEARS FOR JIMMY REID
Today is the great man's funeral, One of the most moving orations I have ever heard. Love you Jimmy Reid. A Christian and a Socialist....I believe that these are two important features of my life as well. A Govan man. God Bless you sir. Granny
Anna Komnene (Comnena)
I have found a new heroine, plenty about her on the web. (particularly Wikipedia which has cross references ) Dates 1083-1153 Byzantane Princess, scholar - breadth of her knowledge included philosophy, literature, grammar, theology,astronomy, medicine. One of the first western women Historians. Married to Nikephoros Bryennios. Later lived in Monastery, an intelectual genius. I first heard about her yesterday on a program about the Normans, her book about the Crusades (not a particularly pro book) and her own fathers reign.
Let us hear more about these women, hidden to all but the specialists.

MORE BLUEWATER FOR MEN
After quite along time I am back. I paid a Saturday trip...wrong, definately a place to avoid on Saturday. I paid my visits to my usual favourites, Urban Outfitters of course, but I only look for inspiration, never to buy, too expensive, ridiculously so in the financial climate.
For the guy's SUITS YOU has a sale, if you are looking for a job, along with updating your CV look at your wardrobe. We are talking competition here, right impact with the CV, current and addressing the job you are going for....no your company. Then look at their image, match yours, smart, clean, well pressed and finished with a clean look and personal hygiene, no one wants to work with someone who has a BO problem. I like The Russell Brand look but not a good look for an insurance company! There may be several 100 others going for this job and they will have done their home work, some may not...move yourself up the list. Do you want that salary? Look at different looks that work for you, trousers narrow or wide leg, not shinny please. Give up smoking, Ashtray is not a good look. DO YOUR HAIR! Muscles are ok but not pumped up and steroid boosted so ugly. A light tan not over done meat, Smell good as well but not over powering. A good smart briefcase is an investment. A watch - for time keeping and a diary are a must...late is not a good start. Show you can manage your time, keep your private life at home. David Beckham, knows how to work it...just look at him when he started the England World Cup Holding Bid. He can do it, can you? think carefully.
By 'The Way'....all the above go for female candidates as well.
My big visit was to John Lewis, not a favourite of mine but there is a new food hall. Definately High End, Gourmet options for shopping not an everyday visit. THE COST is a big consideration, but definately if you have to impresss the inlaws then a visit here can help from a wide exclusive range think starters, and excellent meat section, a Wine section with a bar that serves food, full when I visited. A Charcuterie to die for and a Cheese section that I would kill for. Fish, I suggest the ready to cook 'Sea Bass fillets in fennel butter' new pots and a single fresh veg. Interesting bread needs to be fresh. For eggs you can expect that you will know the breed, go organic and Free Range. A big yes from me but this a place to visit for that really special meal.
Despite what I said about the looking for work look, I do believe in the individual look. Know yourself, expert hair is a treat, you can do it yourelf....but know your products and dont do 'Crazy Colour' unless you can carry it off.
Surprisingly, I am the girl who likes Victoria Beckhams designs. She knows what she is about. Like Danni Minogue, I have an extensive style book, just like hers.
