What Wing Fans Always Knew..

So a new report has come out suggesting that those who watch the West Wing are more likely to achieve in life. They suggest that those who have watched all seven series are more able to make crucial decisions in high pressure environments.

I guess it makes sense: the whole walking and talking at the same time thing, talking fast, making decisions that change the world. According to the report the programme should be recommended for business and military leaders as 'sharpening'. The flip side is that apparently they can be left open to delusions of grandeur and can in fact be a bit naive..

Whichever way.. I feel thats permission to watch!

A Week Today

A week today, when all the furore has ebbed and the markets have bottomed out, our nation will awake to the sounds of bugles and church bells as we commemorate 100 years from the start of the Battle of The Somme.  I am an historian by background, and the Somme for me is emblematic of a human tragedy that need never have happened. My reading of it is this: we began a war from a variety of odd alliances and murky motivations, capped off finally by a sense that no-one had the will to stop it.  In order to give the war effort impetus, posters, propaganda began to be bandied around about the enemy, about what they would do to children and how they needed to be stopped. It worked as a recruiting effort- young men, boys, and women all joined the war effort. They joined as an act of patriotism, tinged yes with fear, but also a sense that it might be the right thing to do. They joined from across the country- but at the heart of the front line forces were thousands and ten of thousands...

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.
