I would very much appreciate your input on the following probability model description I’ve been working on. It’s been some 35 years since I used my Statistics degree in anger, so apologies if my technique is a little rusty. Let P be the probability that some muppet will ring the doorbell at the most inconvenient…
There are some things in life that can make one’s blood run cold. It could be the thought of heights, spiders, Nigel Farage, being shut in a confined space, being shut in a confined space with Nigel Farage, or maybe shopping in Primark. One of the many things that make my veins turn a bit…
Well my friends, what a year eh? There we were emerging from Winter’s gloom through January & February and then it all got very weird. It still feels weird. I keep hearing the phrase ‘The New Normal’ but what the hell does that actually mean? Speaking to others and from my own experience, I’ll tell…
Another birthday approacheth this weekend and I could do with some advice. I need a toy, a treat to help me try and ward off the dark clouds gathering in my head and general feeling of ‘meh’. The problem is that I don’t know what form that treat/toy should take. I’ve been giving it lots…

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Neil’s premature death last week. From the little I know of the man, he would no doubt hate me referring to him as a ‘hero of mine’. So, I apologise to him now, wherever he is because that is exactly who he was to me. I don’t…
Much has been said in recent years about the ‘death of the High Street’. We can all see the once-bustling commercial areas, slowly being turned into wastelands because of out-of-town and online shopping. It’s usually assumed that it’s all down to cheaper online prices and convenience. You can pretty much order anything online from the…
There are more people on Earth now than there have ever been. Humans are everywhere and are encroaching on everything. Much of our wildlife is driven to extinction or squeezed ever tighter into shrinking habitats. When you stop and think about it, humans are a bloody nuisance really and I’m not simply talking about that…
