Quite recently I had the opportunity to listen to an audio book: Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell is brilliant and as a result I have recently added it to my Gullbad Bazar. Read by the author, the book tries to demonstrate the nature of epidemics; of ideas, of messages, of diseases and of behaviour. It […]

I once overheard the most tedious conversation ever, in Orpington near the entrance to the small Sainsbury’s supermarket. Two people were pushing buggies toward each other and when one noticed the other said, “Alright! How you doing, alright?” The other replied “Alright!
