Eclectica: Cameron makes UK an ISIS target

http://addiator.blogspot.com/2014/09/cameron-makes-uk-isis-target.html

No man but a blockhead ever wrote but for money. Dr. Samuel Johnson. Cameron makes UK an ISIS target. Interesting to see the disinformation campaign that lead up to the House of Commons vote to bomb. Then the failure to learn from experience. 1 Intervening in Iraq = disaster. 2 Intervening in Afghanistan = disaster. 3 Intervening in Libya = disaster. Then claiming there is no alternative. Then deciding to train and arm terrorist groups in Syria. None of the reasons that the government and their fellow tr...

Eclectica: ISIS v Rotherham

http://addiator.blogspot.com/2014/08/isis-v-rotherham.html

No man but a blockhead ever wrote but for money. Dr. Samuel Johnson. The BBC has been doing its best to promote the government line by making it a lead story and announcing ISIS activities in that tone of shock-horror that some of their people do so well. However, there are a few problems with the government's cunning plan. 1 Nobody here cares about headless Americans. 2 If we bomb ISIS that will make it more likely they will attack us, not less. 1 The British public really does care about Rotherham.

Eclectica: Buying tyres online

http://addiator.blogspot.com/2015/01/buying-tyres-online.html

No man but a blockhead ever wrote but for money. Dr. Samuel Johnson. I was never happy with the tyre buying process in the UK. After I had bought a tyre I always felt that I had been hornswoggled. The problem was poor information. To make a good decision a buyer needed information on tyre quality and comparative information on a range of tyres. The wet grip scale runs from A to G and each point represents 3 metres of stopping distance. The difference between a tyre rated A and one rated D is 9 metres...

No to the Status Quo!: Even McDonald's says we're working too hard

http://saynotothequo.blogspot.com/2012/07/even-mcdonalds-says-were-working-too.html

I want to believe. Tuesday, July 17, 2012. Even McDonald's says we're working too hard. The New York Times. Nailed this marketing phenomenon. M]arketers are urging workers to commit small acts of so-called rebellion — like taking a vacation, or going on a lunch break.". Ad campaigns for McDonald's and Las Vegas tourism are apparently picking up on "office burnout." As well as the shrinking lunch break. Surveys and polling suggests that workers. And European countries including Germany. The new york times.
