One Man's Notes

Something I spotted on the way into the office the other day:

Sutton's little problem…

What are your plans for the weekend?

I'm spending time with Mum before her operation on Tuesday.

Tell us about your first kiss.  Who was it with?  How old were you?

I was a late starter with girls.

I was 19, and it was with an American girl called Jen, who was an exchange student at Imperial College at the time. We kissed on a street corner in South Kensington, and all I can remember about it is how odd her teeth felt and how much she tasted of cigarette smoke.

Who says romance is dead?

What do you do to get rid of a cold or flu?

Stay in bed, drink plenty of fluids, and then knock yourself unconcious with hot whisky drinks last thing at night.

I've no idea if the last suggestion helps, but it sure makes you feel better.

So, what have I been working on, that's keeping me so quiet?

Well, as of tomorrow, HJi will be live, with a blog. For hairdressers. And I get to spend the morning at an exhibition for hairdressers. Hmm.

More seriously, we have the Road Transport Blog for truckers and van drivers.

Oh, and something on Biofuels. We haven't had time to put a pretty face on that yet, but it'll come in next week or so.

More to follow…

Which of your five senses (touch, taste, sight, hearing, or smell) do you value the most?
Submitted by Elisheva.

Probably sight. I'm an intensely visual person, and I really can't imagine being blind.

Of course, that could be because I was, essentailly, blind for the first three years of my life. While not actually blind, I am so intesely short sighted that people actually assumed I was stupid as a small child, until my Dad finally twigged that the reason I wasn't responding to certain things was that I couldn't see them.

I think unexpectedly learning to read books, while being unable to read posters was the give-away.

Show us something you can't live without.

How did you meet your best friend(s)?

The best friends I have are either people I used to hang out with at university, or people I've met through work since.

Show us your desk or wall calendar.
