The Slush Puppie effect?

A phenomenon I first encountered at the age of 7, which makes me think my Brain has always been a little different from the rest. I may of course be wrong on this but here we go;

I always used to think about the never ending, is it possible?
On the front of a slush puppie when I was a mere lad I noticed the picture





If you notice Mr Slush P is holding a drink which has the same picture, which means that that picture has the same picture and the picture after that, after that and so on and so on


What is the science behind this madness – and can you beat the thoughts of a 7 year old me and beat this strange paradox…..

Since when did Monopoly go all chip and pin?

Do you remember the game. When I was younger I always had to be the dog and I always had to win. The game, for the hours of pleasure it gave also gave us some of the best family "fights" we ever had.

Usually it was down to someone's attempted robbery of cold hard cash when no one was looking from the bank or the constant bad luck of one of my siblings which usually sent houses and hotels all over the place.

Well time has moved on - instead of colourful notes we spent the evening charging up our credit cards. Yes Monopoly even has its own chip and pin unit.
for me the fun was sucked out of it there and then - I want a stack of pink 500's not a card which I have to keep charging up every time I pass go.

I am now half expecting to receive my first "monopoly" card statement through the post to be reminded of that night I spent in a Mayfair hotel without the wife!

Not even the pieces are the same. The humble dog a character whom without I used to refused to play has been replaced, now you can be a burger or a mobile phone for instead.

A burger for a dog ? this is an alternative reality, it must be!

3 of the Best - European Services

I'm not talking just about social networking sites here or even Networks of a particular nature. I spend a lot of my time researching services being offered from a whole range of industries. I started our network in the IT world because that’s where I'm from. Bringing together people can be applied in any situation, if your willing.



This is what I think is making things tick at the moment. 3 Companies/Networks, who are newly established but with a great sense of ambition and knowledge.


1) Euworld Solutions
(I know its shameless but we are proud to do what we do - and we are good at it!)
Last week we added our 40th country in terms of being able to support IT, Colombia in fact. What started out as a European mission is fast turning into world ambition and it is still growing.The thing that often gets me is the willingness of many to get involved and finally we are seeing the benefits of working together. Companies who would seem themselves as competitors if in the same space are now joining forces to deliver projects in multiple countries. This gives us an immense power and quality of work. Collaboration has always been our priority and the hope of tearing down a few old fashioned walls.


2) www.stuffbackhome.com
I've stumbled upon this site a few times now and within the expat communities there is a growing need for this service. Sure we can order our goods online but many of the bigger companies do not offer delivery services outside of the UK shores. Stuffbackhome allows you to pick goods from a variety of major companies and will do the shopping for you and ship it over. Even better than that if there is something you need and you cannot find it, they will go and get it for you. There is a vast community of expats out there and I know that this is a service which is welcomed.


3) Addpublic.com
A brand new and spanking networking site built and driven by German efficiency. I received a link the other day from a trusted friend and decided to join up. You know when you feel that you could be at the beginning of a journey, it sure feels like that at the moment. Currently translation is via Google as the English interface hasn't been fully completed. check it out though, its a refreshing approach to the Networking tools of late and through a early bit of digging I've been most impressed with the services they have to offer. If you like what you see, then join. It free and you can sign up via my link here or go to the main site if you wish.


So that’s it really, just wanted to focus the mind on Europe and what can be achieved by the power of building a network which can offer a real service

We no Speak Americano

Last weekend was spent in Blackpool, going back in time to an age when the seaside was piers, lights and silly hats.


anyway this song just kept on popping up in the clubs and i could not help but post it. Plus music is universal, so we get to appreciate it in any language.


Dance on..... have a good weekend
