		<title>There’s more to this teaching lark&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Many years ago I gained a PhD in Geography. I spent three (long) years of my life (and even longer ones for my wife!) looking at stuff in the environment which may (or may not) have increased the likelihood of children developing leukaemia. I used some pretty sophisticated statistical methods and I even developed some [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Tyranny of Closure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s important to “get closure” according to many in the coaching and counselling worlds. Closure is the key to being able to move on. A failure to achieve closure is as likely as anything to hold you back in your personal journey. If you cannot get closure on those past relationships, pains or events then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Put on the tie, put on the job</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My job comes with a tie. By that I don’t mean my boss provides one (I own the company and I can assure you I don’t buy myself ties out of company funds). What I mean is that there is a certain level of formality required by the people I work with and, basically, that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Get it off your chest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Should men shave their chest hair? I did a quick straw poll and acquaintances are divided about the issue: in a sample of 20 people (ten of each gender), it comes in as exactly 50/50. The proponents of shaven masculine chests, both men and women, cite aesthetics, muscle definition, hygiene and comfort as the main [...]]]></description>

		<title>If it can bite nuts…</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The silly season, as far as networking and generating business is concerned, is nearly over, kids back to school next week and I can get on with what I love doing (don’t tell the wife &#38; kids). However even when you are on holiday you think about things in your business and occasionally have some [...]]]></description>

		<title>Talking in your sleep: BorderBradors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I talk in my sleep. It started in my mid twenties, stopped when I hooked up again with Sarah and started again 2 years ago. Sarah finds it hilariously funny if she hears me talking, and last night she took notes as I never believe her in the morning. I am planning on breeding a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Needing No Introduction&#8230;?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello! Some of you know me, others have so far managed to avoid me. As a newbie to &#8216;Blokes&#8217; I thought, &#8220;I know, I&#8217;ll turn this blog posting business on its head, put a new twist on it. So, sticking to a subject I know something about, and with no desire to bore you by [...]]]></description>

		<title>Music Music Everywhere</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TThere has been a positive explosion of open mikes and places to play - at least down here in darkest Sussex - as publicans do what they can to drag in the punters.I don't know what it's like in other parts of the country but down here you can't move for aged musicians strutting their stuff. They're all horribly good too.]]></description>

		<title>How to ride a bike: track racing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Team GB dominated the track cycling at the Olympics, as they did the World Championships earlier this year and we won Gold in the Team Sprint event with Chris Hoy, Jamie Staff and Jason Kenny stuffing the French by a full half-second. So &#8211; what&#8217;s track racing all about? First you need a track &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is it with umbrellas?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like rain. So long as it’s not making me dangerously, physically cold. I like the feel and the sound and the smell. Image by solidether via Flickr Or maybe it’s just that I’d rather get wet than carry an umbrella. At risk of sounding like a grumpy old man&#8230;.. what’s the point of umbrellas?!?
