Martin, is the computer off?: March 2015

Martin, is the computer off? Thursday, 26 March 2015. Goodbye to the Ragleth Writers. There are only losers when a group self-destructs and I don't suppose I will ever know exactly what motivated two long-standing members to act in the way they did. With hindsight the existence of this undemocratic core was always going to be problematic. Although the group was "sold" to me as being a collection of equals the resident alpha-female clearly didn't see it that way! Posted by Martin Nicholson. The authors ha...

Martin, is the computer off? Sunday, 16 August 2015. What might have been. A Level options at school -. When my degree was finished -. In my first teaching job -. I didn't realise until far too late that being a good or excellent teacher was not enough on its own to ensure promotion. Playing office politics and choosing carefully when and how to raise my public profile was far more important than was the work I was paid to do! What I needed was a mentor and sadly I didn't realise it. I made some quite go...

Martin, is the computer off? Thursday, 14 May 2015. Updates on my assorted e-pals. I did, briefly, experiment with the Facebook electronic penfriend group. However it seemed to the home of spammers and scammers and religious fanatics and I wasn't able to find a kindred spirit to have as a new friend. I might try again in a few months. Happiness factor - 8/10. The Facebook Social History group. Https:/ www.facebook.com/groups/609806292391471/. Happiness factor - 9/10. My cemetery related blog -. The group...

Martin, is the computer off? Monday, 27 July 2015. My working life - part 1. United Biscuits - Ashby de la Zouch, Leicestershire (1976-1979). It was less than 5 minutes on my Honda C70 from our home to the factory - 5/5. The senior staff were either distant (as in totally disinterested in the "workers") or were fanatical empire builders, or both - 1/5. Nothing was arranged probably because I was glad to be going and they were glad to be getting rid of me - 0/5. The frequent trips to Grimsby. I made some ...

Martin, is the computer off? Tuesday, 24 June 2014. I have just been checking through what I, rather grandly, call my communication archives to see what changes have taken place in the last 12 months. The Facebook Social History group. Https:/ www.facebook.com/groups/609806292391471/. I am the Administrator of this group which has enrolled nearly 850 members in just 8 months. I try hard to post one or two items of interest every day. Happiness factor - 8/10. My cemetery related blog. Sadness factor - 4/10.

Martin, is the computer off? Sunday, 27 July 2014. REVISITED - I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. I wish I had had the courage to share with my parents, especially my Mother, how hurt I was by how low down her priority list I seemed to have sunk by the time I was ten years old. By then my brother Stephen was at university and I suspect that my Mother had got rather bored with parenthood. Dad drove over to pick me up and we had an "interesting" conversation on the way back! It was the date...

Martin, is the computer off? Saturday, 31 January 2015. Rest in peace Betty. Betty, who lived next door to us for the whole of our 20 years living in Daventry, died very recently. We kept in touch with her when we moved to Shropshire so when we didn't get her usual Christmas message we guessed that something was wrong. She was always the perfect neighbour - which was fortunate because some of our other neighbours were rather "strange"! Betty was an oasis of normality in a desert of strangeness. Rest in p...
