The Word: December 2007
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 11 December 2007. 8220;In the beginning was The Word,” says Saint John. Of course, as he wrote in Greek the term he actually uses is ‘logos’. We know the word logos, but for us it is a plural and in the singular is an image. It is curious that our word for a word is a word for an image. Still with me? Yet in our own time two disciplines that are separate have grown out of this unity, the visual and the verbal, and increasingly communicators are experts in one or the other of them, but rarely both.

The Word: You ain't seen (or heard) nothing yet
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-aint-seen-or-heard-nothing-yet.html
Wednesday, 21 April 2010. You ain't seen (or heard) nothing yet. Eyjafjallajoekull is a name to conjure with. It’s a name I like. Katla is also a nice name. Warm. Friendly. Forget it. We will be gassed in our cellars to which we will have retreated after the opening salvo. Over the next few months, we will be buried under about 100 metres of volcanic ash.

The Word: The right words
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2010/04/right-words.html
Friday, 30 April 2010. We all know when the right words are found. They fit. They need no addition, no adornment, they just say it all. One professsor, smeared with ash and distraught at the near disaster, was filmed by a TV crew with a pail of water still in his hand, trying to catch his breath. He was asked a question. He looked into the distance and shook his head, trying to control his anger and was at first unable to speak. Then, reaching into his memory, he found something. It was quoted around the...

The Word: March 2008
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Friday, 21 March 2008. It has been suggested to me that there are too many classical, literary and art references in my blog to appeal to a modern audience. Well that’s fine by me. As far as I’m concerned the only good audience is a dead audience. If my remarks are to be understood only by Socrates, Plato, Sophocles, St Augustine of Hippo, Piero della Francesca, and Dante Alighieri that’s fine. They can read my blog, I can read theirs. To name and shame paedophiles in the community. She said, “...So by e...

The Word: I hope that's clear
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2009/12/i-hope-thats-clear.html
Tuesday, 1 December 2009. I hope that's clear. I have an idea on the runway which will be a paradigm shift in the way we communicate. I need to tell you about it going forward. It will be a sea change, a win-win strategy empowerment-wise. Let me clue you. It’s sliced modularity. Let’s not drink the Kool-Aid on this one. Eyeball the event horizon and get granular. My idea is to turn it all up-side down. No. Stay with me. I want to be totally open kimono on this. It’s Best of Breed. Ive Twittered your post!

The Word: God's Rioja?
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2009/05/gods-rioja.html
Thursday, 7 May 2009. We are gullible. We believe what we are told, despite the evidence of our own experience. People complain about the gullibility of the religious, but I, for one, would much rather believe in God, than the modern deity, Tesco. We have made Gods of our buying. The Holy Ghost has become The Wholemeal Toast. The Son of Man, a Pound of Ham. The Holy Trinity’s three persons in one has been out-done by Two for One, Four for a Fiver. Just taste the value! And so it was with triumph that I w...

The Word: February 2009
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, 26 February 2009. It is sad that the latest Internet sensation is a recording of a film actor, supposedly called Christian Bale, though I think that might be an assumed name, swearing a lot at someone who distracted him and spoiled his concentration during a take. What marks it out is its lack of imagination. It relies almost exclusively on one word that is repeated ad nauseam. That such tedium passes for something remarkable these days is disappointing. This matter came up as a subject when I ...

The Word: January 2008
http://rmtheword.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Friday, 25 January 2008. We’re a strange lot. We like things to be perfect and have trouble understanding when they are not. For example, we expect our doctors to be fit, healthy and in the peak of condition. Were they dogs we would expect them to have a shiny coat, a wet nose and nuzzle our genitalia with evident relish. When we find doctors stressed, deathly pale, and wincing as they move, we worry. Why can’t our dentists be snaggle-toothed? Why can’t our doctors get ill? Yet, somewhat unfairly it seem...
