A Sunny Weekend above Lac Leman et Environs


At the top of the Le Salève - Normally a take-off spot for parasailing with fine views of the Jura but today a chaussette molle. Budding aviators, please note the temperature inversion!


Prior to the installation of the cable car, and notwithstanding the small railway that existed then, a fine option for the ascent of Le Salève for the more dashing post 1904 would have been la Motosacoche.


Lac Leman - ripples on the water but no wind?



Nice to know that my BMW R1150GS would be permitted onto the vineyard tracks of Bernex





The Leaning Tower of Westminster


Goodbye Big Ben, goodbye New Labour.

“Thrive in Unpredictability”.

And then:

To succeed in these uncertain times, we need to have three key attributes:

  1. Line of sight: Ability to see around the next corner

This is a remarkable concept that I shall not rely on entirely whilst I'm taking my IAM test this Saturday!

Over 300 Million Record Sales is Big Keftedes

Corporate Bollox


The company that I have worked in for three years has been recently taken over by another large US corporate organisation, Every day I am sent stuff like this generated by people that I have never heard of before, in jobs that I am amazed they get paid for and certainly these pronouncements add no value to my particular job! This one was sent from "Global Supply Chain Services HR" and probably means that they are going to axe a few more of my colleagues in the near future.


Bollox message reads:


We have invested considerable effort in the design and planning stage of this key change, focusing our organization on:

· Elevated Stakeholder Engagement & Interlock

· Revenue Enablement through both Deal & Account Support

· Cost improvement and transformation

· Enhanced demand planning
