The Ross and Brand row – a sense of perspective please
Is it just me, or has the whole row about Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross got completely out of hand? OK, what they did was crass and in poor taste but should the Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition be … Continue reading

Powerpoint – making the dull even duller since 1990
HR Wench is at a conference and, probably along with hundreds of others, is getting sick to death of Powerpoint presentations. Which reminded me of this video by Don McMillan. As he says, Powerpoint can just suck the life out of … Continue reading
